Nearby Milan Malpensa Airport

Within three-quarters of an hour from Milan Malpensa Airport, you can be at Lake Como, one of Europe's most aesthetically-pleasing spots. This tranquil lake is set in the foothills of the Alps, but if it's another city you're looking to explore, Monza (50 minutes from the airport by car) is home to some breathtaking architecture, including a royal villa and gardens.

Longer drives

Fair Verona, the historic city where Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet met and fell in love, is an hour and 35 minutes' drive from Milan Malpensa. Meanwhile, the ancient city of Padua, where greats including physicians William Harvey and Andreas Vesalius, mathematician Copernicus and Casanova himself studied, takes two hours and 20 minutes to reach by car.

Eating and drinking

Italian cuisine is loved around the world, so while you're in Milan make sure to try dishes such as risotto, minestrone soup, sweet panettone and classic pastas including bolognese and carbonara in their original home, served in the traditional fashion.

Things to do

The imposing Gothic-style Milan Cathedral took almost 600 years to construct, so you should definitely go and give your admiration to this glorious architectural feat. Across town, Milan's breathtaking Sforzesco Castle, which dates back to the 15th century and was decorated by great Italian artists including Leonardo da Vinci and Michelangelo, is a must-visit.

Sightseeing

One of the best sights in Milan is Leonardo's The Last Supper, among the world's most famous pieces of art. Housed in the refectory of the Convent of Santa Maria delle Grazie, a trip to Milan would not be complete without losing yourself in awe at the sight of this monumental painting.
