Direction: Lombardy
Nice to Milan by plane, train, or automobile? That’s the eternal question. It all depends on how much time you have. Because it will take you hours to drive there, and longer if you take the train, but a Nice-Milan direct flight will get you there in just 50 minutes. There’s no way to get to the heart of the city faster (or more comfortably) so that you can sit down to a spritz while taking in Duomo, or check out the latest in fashion on the via Monte Napoleone.

What to do in
Milan ?
You can do just about anything in Milan! Italy’s economic hub and the former realm of Sforza has much to offer. Come for its exceptional sights, cultural masterpieces, the rare elegance that makes it one of four strongholds of international fashion, its designers and artists, its chic or bobo lifestyle, or else for the devotion of the Tifosi of Inter or AC Milan, the two biggest local football clubs.
