\nDISCOVER MILAN:<\/h3>\n
\nMilan is one of the trendiest cities in Italy<\/strong>. It is the city of fashion and the economic capital of Italy. Both traits are clearly visible when you\u2019re walking around the city. Modern and trendy skyscrapers scattered here and there, surrounded by beautiful historical buildings throughout the city center.<\/p>\nMany of Milan\u2019s most exciting sights and attractions are not readily apparent, so you\u2019ll need to dig deeper to discover the gems that make the city unique.<\/strong><\/p>\nLuckily, Milan is surprisingly walkable and, at times, feels more like a compact town than a major European metropolis.
And once you start chipping away at its foreboding exterior, you\u2019ll find untold treasures below the surface: priceless works of art, beautiful eccentric buildings, world-class restaurants, and oases of calm. Explore the best things to do in Milan and remember: appearances aren\u2019t everything.<\/strong><\/p>\nDISCOVER LAKE COMO:<\/h3>\n
<\/p>\n![\"ITALY-ROAD-TRIP-Como-Lake-famouse-Villa-del-Balbianello-Italy\"](\"https:\/\/www.keepcalmandtravel.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/ITALY-ROAD-TRIP-Como-Lake-famouse-Villa-del-Balbianello-Italy.jpg\")
\n<\/picture>\nComo is filled with luxury Villas you can visit, like Villa Balbianello here, a perfect setting even for weddings!<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
<\/p>\n
\nThe itinerary for your Italy Road trip started in the glorious city of Rome, and it couldn\u2019t end less gloriously in the fantastic Lake Como setting.<\/strong>
Relax in the shade of a tree in front of the lake, admire its beautiful views \u2026 and, who knows? You might even spot George Clooney (owner of one of the most beautiful villas in Lake Como), his buddy Brad Pitt, Tom Cruise, or any other A-list celebrity, but there\u2019s so much more to this destination than its famed visitors.<\/p>\nThe glacial Lake Como is a mere 1.5-hour drive north of Milan and only 30 minutes or so from the border of Switzerland. The biggest draw to Lake Como is its natural beauty \u2013 especially the scenic mountainous region that always leaves me in awe.<\/p>\n
Hop on the ferries that cross the lake; it\u2019s a perfect way to explore the beautiful little towns surrounding it like Menaggio, Bellagio, and Varenna, to mention but a few of my favorites.<\/p>\n
\nTHINGS\u00a0TO DO IN MILAN IN ONE DAY:<\/h3>\n
\nIn Milan, as previously stated, it is super easy to get around by walking a bit or via their efficient public services (the underground system is excellent). This way you can do quite a lot in one day.<\/p>\n
The most famous things to do in Milan are:<\/span><\/strong><\/h3>\n
\n\n- The famous Duomo di Milano: The symbol of the city.<\/li>\n
- Galleria Vittorio Emanuele II (on the left of the Duomo)<\/li>\n
- Sforza Castle for a bit of history<\/li>\n
- Parco Sempione to end your day in total relaxation!<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
\nTHINGS\u00a0TO DO IN LAKE COMO IN ONE DAY:<\/h3>\n
\nHonestly? If it was for me (personal taste!) I would spend just half a day in Milan and aim straight to Lake Como, but the itinerary is yours, so maybe you are a fashion addict and want to spend a whole afternoon shopping in Milan \ud83d\ude42 Either way, Lake Como would deserve at least 2 days of exploring.<\/p>\n
So, what to do and see in Lake Como?<\/span><\/strong><\/h3>\n
\n\n- Visit Varenna, a lovely village with great views of the lake.<\/li>\n
- Take the ferry! You\u2019ll discover the hidden spots as well as the more popular sights.<\/li>\n
- Visit Villa del Balbianello<\/li>\n
- Discover Castello di Vezio for awesome views<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

\n<\/picture>\n<\/a><\/p>\nVilla Del Balbianello, Lake Como<\/i><\/p>\n<\/div>\n\nBest Things to do and see in Milan:<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n
\nIl Duomo Di Milano:<\/strong><\/span>\u00a0 Do I really need to tell you why you should visit it? There is so much information online, and the pictures speak for themselves. It goes without saying that this should be your first stop in Milan, no question about it. And it\u2019s as beautiful as in the pictures. My only tip: go there early in the morning; you will make the most of the experience!<\/p>\nCastello Sforzesco:<\/strong><\/span> Nearby the Parco Sempione, the Castello Sforzesco (Sforza Castel) is a mandatory stop on your visit to Milan; apart from its famous towers, it hosts several museums from the Ancient Arts to the Pinacoteca and the Egyptian museum, just to name a few. If you love history, this is a great place to visit.<\/p>\nGalleria Vittorio Emanuele II:<\/strong><\/span> Just on the left side of the Duomo di Milano, its architecture (especially the roof) will leave you in awe. You\u2019ll find many shops, from luxury ones to nice cafes where to sip an espresso and relax, bookstores, restaurants, and more. Since it\u2019s in Piazza Duomo, you can easily make it your second stop in Milan.<\/p>\nBest Things to do and see in Lake Como:<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n
\nVilla Del Balbianello:<\/strong><\/span> Located on the left wing of the Lake, near the village of Lenno, it is a must-see. Beautiful views of the Lake and the Villa with its terrace garden are genuinely out of this world! One of the best spots to admire Lake Como\u2019s mighty beauty. It\u2019s undoubtedly one of the most touristy and popular Villas to visit.<\/p>\nVilla Carlotta:<\/strong><\/span> Just a few kilometers away from Villa Del Balbianello (heading north of Lenno), it\u2019s a true gem with its botanical gardens, museums, the staircase, and the stunning entrance to the Lake. Not to be missed! (I will write an article just for the villas to visit around Lake Como as they are jaw-dropping!)<\/p>\nTake the ferry:<\/strong><\/span>\u00a0 One of the best ways to enjoy Lake Como is by Ferry. There are both public and private ferries. The public one is relatively cheap, but obviously, it doesn\u2019t let you hop off to explore what you want. You can either find the private companies online looking for \u201cprivate ferry lake Como\u201d or, as I suggest below, I\u2019d recommend the Tour from Milan without the hassle of driving there and back.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\nMORE THINGS TO DO AND SEE IN MILAN<\/h3>\n
\nI Navigli Di Milano:<\/span><\/strong><\/span> A system of canals running in the heart of Milan, surrounded by lovely cocktail bars, are the perfect location to spend your dinner and after-dinner time, not to be missed for an excellent aperitif. Great for a romantic walk at sunset as well. It\u2019s easy to reach by public transport, which is always a bonus!<\/p>\nParco Sempione:<\/strong><\/span>\u00a0 Located in the heart of Milan, Parco Sempione is a lovely park where you can relax, chill and visit the Sforza Castel and the Arch of peace, two of the most famous landmark in Milan.<\/p>\nVia Montenapoleone:<\/span><\/strong><\/span>\u00a0 If you are in Milan and love fashion, via Montenapoleone is the place you want to be! Filled with luxury shops, whatever brand you are looking for, you will find it there! Splurge as much as you want and enjoy!<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\nTrekking\/hiking Lake Como:<\/span><\/strong><\/span>\u00a0 If you have some time or, during your Italy Road trip planning, you decide to skip a place or two, this is one of the best and more rewarding activities to do, with breathtaking views over the lake. The most famous walks\/hikes are the Greenway Del Lago<\/a><\/span> and Spina Verde<\/a><\/span><\/strong> (suitable for everyone, they will take you to the top spots like Villa del Balbianello). For more advanced trekking and hiking, organizing with private companies is better.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\nCastello di Vezio:<\/span><\/strong><\/span>\u00a0 Located in the middle of Lake Como, with an overview of Varenna village, it is a lovely spot for jaw-dropping sights of the lake and its history. It was built over a thousand years ago. Don\u2019t forget to climb its famous tower to enjoy even more incredible panoramic views!<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\n
\nWHERE TO STAY IN MILAN AND LAKE COMO :<\/span><\/h3>\nHOTEL BELLAGIO (LAKE COMO)<\/strong><\/p>\n
\nIn the city center, accessed directly from Bellagio\u2019s main square by 38 cobblestone steps, Hotel Bellagio is within walking distance of the town\u2019s shops, caf\u00e9s, and restaurants. Parking is available, free cancellation, and incredible views of the Lake.\u00a0<\/span>Check out this Hotel!<\/span><\/strong>\u00a0<\/span><\/a>\u00a0If you prefer to take a day tour to Lake Como and base yourself in Milan, check out the\u00a0<\/span>NH PORTA NUOVA<\/span><\/strong><\/a> hotel, which is convenient and well-located.<\/span><\/p>\n
\nConsidering the allure of Milan, not only as a tourist destination but also as a potential long-term residence, the prospect of renting an apartment in this trendy city opens up a world of possibilities. Imagine having the iconic Duomo di Milano as a backdrop to your daily life or strolling through the historic Galleria Vittorio Emanuele II for your daily dose of luxury and culture.<\/p>\n
