  • Milan, although not as aesthetically pleasing and cuturally rich as
    other destinations in Italy, thanks in part to the heavy destruction
    it saw during WWII, the city is located near the very beautiful
    mountains and lake regions of Lago di Como and Lago di Garda as well
    as some more atmoshperic towns such as Verona and Bergamo thus making
    Milan a great base to start your travels in the region.
