Hi Everyone,
I just scored a super deal from Boston to Milan in mid May. We have two weeks to play with. Traveling with another couple, long time travel buddies though we are seniors we like to see it all and do not mind roughing it. We are thinking of immediately doing a road trip into Switzerland, or heading to Italian Riviera and Cinque terre. We would then come back to Milan ditching the car and using Milan as our base for day trips for four or five days, maybe Bologna, Parma etc. Not as interested in Lake Como area. Would love to hear comments from others that have done road trips from Milan. Also would love to hear comments on day trips from Milan that others have really liked. We like to have bases and then utilize the trains for the shorter destinations. Since I literally just booked am not opposed to anything. Have done Rome, Naples and Amalfi on other trips. Have not done Cinque Terra or Italian Riveria. Our trip is the last two weeks of May so weather should be pretty good. Thank you in advance for any insight or recommendations.
