Is there a direct train from Desenzano del Garda to Malpensa airport?
Many thanks

Hi, which area do you recommend to stay?

I have some friends hiring a car out of Verona and driving around the lake to stay at a hotel in Malcesine in mid June. What are weather/road conditions like there now. Will it be ok in mid June 2013?

Any cheap bus deals from Florence to Mantova?

I've street viewed it, pretty easy, turn right off Gioia down Pirelli.
But we may be rushed, and I fear the metro, in a rush, could be just as problematic. We are aiming for the 08:20 to Tirano, get in on the 07:10 sleeper from Rome.
The train used to pull into Central at 06:55 but it now comes into Garibaldi and we are all booked.
My query is really that street view was taken with these boards up along the north side of Gioia and I cant see how pedestrians make their way out of the statiion in that direction. The maps show a park north of Gioia up to the station. If it's obvious, e.g.. they've finshed building, you just walk out of the front of the station now and it's all clear, just keep to the left till you get to the dual carriage way Gioia and turn left, under the road spanning building and then turn right down pirelli and keep going, just say.
I make the walk 1km dead, which with 10 people on an unfamilair tube system with a critical arrival time isnt worth the track mileage of getting the metro.

We are doing this fyi. So no, we cant change either the arrival or departure details for Milan.

I've been told that the best way is to travel from Ferrara to Bologna by train and then change for Como Nord Borghi.

Hello everyone,

looking to book tickets to see the Last Supper in Milan. We would like to combine it with a city tour as well and have seen on some websites that this can be done. I don't see any other option but booking through a tourist site such as Viator, so just wondering if anyone has any suggestions as to where would be the best place to book it.
We are from Australia if this means anything and will be in Milan 26th-27th July.

We will be driving from Como to Genoa at the end of June and want to stop off and see Milan for a couple of hours. I understand it is not adviseable to drive into Milan. We want to visit the city centre. Can you advise where we should leave the car and how we should get to and from the centre of Milan. Thanks.

Hello travel gurus,
I will be in Italy May 22-June 25. I want to use the train some of the time. Taking into account that it will be busy and some of my destinations are popular...Is it worth my time and money I purchase Eurorail (which is First Class)from the states or purschase 2nd class when in Italy. My girlfriend and I are in our 30's-40's and have no physical limitations.
Thank very much.
