My wife and I are looking at spending two weeks in Northern Italy next year. We are active seniors if that makes a difference. We are in the preliminary stages of our planning and therefore flexible. My thoughts at the moment are to fly into Milan and then take the train to the Lake Como area. Spend probably four days exploring the area. Then go back to Milan to pick up a car and head to Bergamo. We have already been to Milan. Spend three or four days exploring the surrounding area. My son has a friend in Bergamo, so we are hoping he can give an insider's view of the area. Next stop would be Verona for a few days. Lastly we would travel to The Dolomites. Spending four days in the area. We are not set to travel in that order, but it is what I am thinking at the moment. My question to the Forum is does this makes sense and where should we stay, especially in the Lake Como Area and the Dolomites. Also what time of year? I was thinking either late May or early September. When the crowds should be less, before the end of and the beginning of school.
All thoughts appreciated
