Top Milan Day Trips

While there’s plenty to keep you entertained in Milan, the city is a handy base for exploring nearby, thanks to good road and train links to some of northern Italy’s most beautiful countryside. If you’re eager to see more, Milan day trips can transport you to the wine-making regions of Piedmont and Oltrepo Pavese; Lake Maggiore and Lake Como in the Italian lake district; and the UNESCO-listed fishing villages of the Cinque Terre. Plus, the historic port city of Genoa and sophisticated seaside town of Portofino are also within easy reach.
