How far south will you go? If staying in the North, try Siena (1.5 days), Venice (1.5 days), Florence 2.5 days), and the Cinque Terra (2 days, HIGHLY recommended!) That's a good, busy week. Milan is not worth much time if you are limited. Bergamo, nearby, has a nice old town. If you have time, come east to Ljubljana, Slovenia!

  But given your time constraints, I would probably see Florence, Venice, and the Cinque Terra. You could have a really amazing week combining these.

  Use b-rail.be to plan your train connections.  It is the Belgian rail site, click on "choose your language" to open the English site. I would probably go from Milano to Genoa, (Genova) which is very close to Cinque Terra, then to Florence (Firenze), then to Venice, before heading back to Milano to fly home... This itinerary makes the most logistical sense.

  The towns in the Cinque Terra are Vernazza, Monterosso, Rio Maggiore, Corniglia, and Manarolo. In my opinion, Cinque Terra is one of the top most beautiful places in Europe.

hello, i can suggest you to spend some days in Tuscany, visiting the most beutiful art cities such as pisa, florence, lucca, volterra, siena... you can stay in a farm house in the countryside in a central location, from which you'll reach the several places, and also the traditional and typical medieval villages, maybe do a cooking class, or a a wine tasting! i suggest you to have a look at www.ariannandfriends.com. enjoy your stay

Hi!I'm italian and I hope help you. Milan is a big city and you can visit a lot of things!first of all, you MUST see the Duomo and Corso Vittorio Emanuele (it is near to Duomo)!Then, you can visit Cenacolo in Santa Maria delle GRazie and the Sforzesco Castle . Into Castello sforzesco, there is a great museum and it is cheap. and finally, you can visit Pinacoteca di BRera. Brera is a expensive area...so keep attention to buy anythings!that's all!Bye

The train and/or bus is usually the best way to travel within Italy. I just got back from a vacation in Florence. While I was there I also took the train to Pisa to see the leaning tower and to Venice to visit. Gasoline is much more expensive in Italy than in this country so driving is costly. Italian drivers are very aggressive as well so you have to watch out.

It is very warm in Italy in June, so rather then hoping from one place to the other, I would chose 2 places you want to visit so you can spend some time there, and really get to see the sites, and get a feel for the place.

Like the others have said, Milan itself is not so special. You could get the train up to Lake Como, or Lake Maggiore which is lovely and then spend a few nights there. After as someone below suggested you should go to the Cinque Terra for a while. So very beautiful there, and a lot to see too.

The Italian way of life is not to rush - so take some of our advice and slow down the pace a little!
