Mountains, lakes and seaside close by
If you ever exhaust the leisure opportunities that Milan offers, you still have at hand the entire range of Italian tourist attractions. The Italian Alps are an hour's drive away for skiing, walking or climbing. The lakes and their mild climate and beautiful gardens are even closer. And you need approximately only two to three hours by car to enjoy the Mediterranean coast, whether you head to Venice and the Adriatic Sea or the Liguria Riviera with its cosy villages steeped in sun and history.
