Product Description

Food, fashion, and finance may be Milan’s claim to fame, but this insider’s guide goes far beyond the city's mainstays. Local experts offer unbiased coverage of the hopping music scene, attractions like the newly revived La Scala, and the best restaurants, bars, and cafés, from sleek and chic to cozy neighborhood trattorie. Side trips to historic cities are also included.

Review
"'Good for delving under the skin of a city and pulling you off the beaten track...' - Fred Mawer, The Mail on Sunday"

About the Author
Local writers, experts and residents lead you through the thoroughfares and backstreets of Milan and the cities of Lombardy - Brescia, Bergamo, Mantua, Cremona and Pavia; around the shores of large lakes - Como, Maggiore, and Garda - and small; and up into the glorious mountain peaks of Lombardy for a summer hide or a winter ski.

Customer Reviews

Extremely useful resource - before/during/after trip5
As a frequent traveler, used this for a short visit to Milan also scheduled on short notice. Found it very valuable in both pre-trip planning (figuring out layout of city, street maps, metro map, restaurants) and also "on-the-ground" while actually in Milan. Referred to it numerous times during trip - the links from the text to the street maps are excellent. (It's just like your "London A-Z"...plus recommendations.)

Much more useful/informative than either Frommer's or (surprisingly) Lonely Planet, which both often lack perspective because of their target traveler-markets. This covered both ends of the spectrum nicely.

Consider this as a serious alternative to the more-established travel publishers. Happy trails.

(Updated May 2009: Used the latest edition for another trip to Milan, contains excellent updates. Probably the best feedback: Colleagues in Milan found the info very accurate and relevant, so I gave them my copy. Five stars.)
