Hi, everyone!

We will spend a couple of days in Milan in laste June and then will head east to Verona and Padova, but intended to spend a few hours in Sirmione. I could rent a car or take the train (consider that we will have our backpacks with us at this time since we will be moving to a different city), but I am concerned with two possible problems associated with each option - lack of parking space or lack of lockers at the train station. Any suggestions or ideas?

Hi, I am scheduled to arrive at Milan Malpensa airport on Sunday morning, Sept. 18. I understand a train strike is scheduled from 9:00 p.m. Saturday Sept 17 until 9:00 p.m. Sunday Sept 18. We had planned to take a bus from the airport to the Milano Centrale train station, then the train to Desenzano station. Hadn't decided the best way to into Sirmione from there. So my questions, what are the options for getting into Sirmione from Desenzano train station. And second, what are the options to get there if in fact there is a train strike? Thanks!
