Inside the guide

• The Plan: a day-by-day itinerary, maps for Milan and Lake Como, and transport tips for trains, ferries and airport transfers

Travelling for fewer than 7 days? Everything is laid out clearly enough that you can leave out the stops and activities that don't appeal and keep the ones that do.

Staying longer? Use these 7 days as your foundation and build your own days around them, or get in touch about a custom consultation and I'll plan the rest with you.

Whether it's your first time in Italy or you're back for round two, this takes the guesswork out of planning and leaves you more time to actually enjoy the trip.

Buon viaggio! Happy travels!
