Welcome to Milan
and the Lakes
Milan is Italy’s city of the future, a fast-paced metropolis where
creativity is big business, looking good is compulsory and after-
work drinks – known as aperitivi – are an art form. It’s also a
city with ancient roots and extraordinary treasures that you’ll get
to experience without the usual queues. At the weekends, join
the urban exodus to the elegant towns and tiered gardens of
the Italian lakes.
