We are planning a 10 day trip to either the northern part of Italy (Milan, Lake Como and surrounds) or Portugal in mid-October. Any advice as to which is the better choice weather wise at that time of year? Thank you!

Maybe a toss up. We have been in northern Italy in Oct. Whether is very nice, was a little dryer, but days are getting shorter and it was noticeable. No experience with Portugal in that time frame but have been there in late Sep. Again weather is good. In both case the tourist count was down some especially in Portugal. And it depends on where you are going.

I was in Porto last October and the weather was great. Foggy and a bit wet in the Douro Valley, but otherwise warm, and dry. Had a great time.
