We will be in Milan mid-November and have an extra 6-8 hours to take a train to a local town. It will be on Monday, so I'd like to go to a town where the main sights would be open. I'm sure any local town would be great to walk around. Would any of them have a market on Mondays?
Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
I don't know what they have going in November, but Varenna (on Lake Como) is only an hour from Milan. We loved it!
Like food? Parma or Bologna
Like gardens and scenery? Any of the Lake Como towns
History? Turin
Viator is always a good choice for day trips (use the navigation bar on the right to sort for shorter day trip.
Gwen,
A time frame of 6-8 hours is not long, but another you could consider is Stresa on Lago Maggiore. In addition to having a look around the town, you could visit one or more of the Borromeo Islands (Isola Bella is gorgeous).
