One of the pecks of living in Milan as a non-European citizen is the agreement between European Union countries to allow free movement of residents and even tourists within the Schengen Area without the need for a Visa.
Day trips from Milan do not require a lot of time to plan. The regional train ticket prices remain fairly the same, except for fast trains like FrecciaRossa which gets more expensive closer to your travel date.
A perfect choice if you looking to escape Milan for a day to somewhere peaceful and with a beautiful view.
As regards to costs of items, Florence is quite on the same radar as Milan. But if you keep your eyes out for Trattorias and dig just a little more, you can score good deals that will help you save more on your trip!
The city was quiet and still asleep. Few cars and people were on the road, also because it was a Sunday. The houses at the northern part of the city are built in similar clusters and modern – no anciently carved balconies or windows.
On arrival, it seemed there was a mini street food festival on the lakeside. There were little food trucks, playing loud and funky music with moving statues and clowns adding more life to the frenzy.
Families were here and there and the city was bustling with life.
Some people, like me, are stuck in Milan due to work and will only have the chance to get away during the Ferragosto holiday or weekend. Our only respite right now is in tons of gelato and cold baths.
If you are a lover of the countryside and serenity, you would love Travo. This little town, nestled up against the hills in the Emilia Romagna region is one and a half hour drive away from Milan.
