  • Whether you want to explore the flatlands to the south, tackle mountains rising sheer from the north shores, or simply wend along the lake itself, hire a bike to see Garda at a leisurely pace.

  • Find out about the heroes after whom two-thirds of Italy’s streets are named at this museum tracing Italy’s 19th-century risorgimento (unification) movement.

  • Bolognini’s mansion houses exhibitions on the history of Milan and its families, as well as nautical memorabilia.

  • Dinosaurs and taxidermied creatures are among the exhibits at the natural history museum founded in 1838.

  • From hand-written scores to costumes, anything related to La Scala is at this temporary home until 2005 (see Museo Teatrale alla Scala, Milan).

  • Also slightly fizzy, lighter and tangier than Lambrusco. The Garda region also produces familiar varietals.

  • Succulent veal chops, cut across the shin bone, dredged in flour, lightly fried, then slow-cooked in wine and tomatoes with a bit of lemon-parsley-garlic gremolata tossed on top. Proper ossobuco is served on the bone (its very name means “bone-hole”, though that sounds better in Italian): digging out the rich marrow is an integral part of enjoying the dish.

  • A 17th-century palazzo containing a Tiepolo fresco and a museum of cinema.

  • Palazzo Litta

    Italy’s state railway headquarters and a theatre occupy the expansive Rococo palazzo near the Last Supper .

  • Palazzo Marino

    Milan’s Mannerist town hall.
