Alex 30260 Posted November 16, 2019 Share Posted November 16, 2019 It used to be Ryan Air from Newcastle and that was to Bergamo. Not sure about now. Bergamo is meant to be lovely but it’s something like 30 miles away from Milan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There’ll be options from Heathrow They're the best bet, but looks like they do Verona. We're now thinking of doing that, spend a couple of days there then train it to Milan. Flew to Milan on Ryanair this summer and it was murder. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The trains were really good when I did Pisa-Florence-Venice-Pisa. Verona is meant to be beautiful anyway 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Meenzer 13991 Posted November 16, 2019 Share Posted November 16, 2019 Aye, I've heard that Italian trains are pretty decent. Easyjet fly to the real Milan airport btw (including from Manchester if that helps). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There can be hajf a dozen cruise ships every day so I'd avoid OT till 6 ish then go here.. https://www.croatiagems.com/buza-bar/ Lots of other good bars etc...

We’re right next to a place called The Pirate Social Club which seems like a cocktail bar on the rocks which I’m very excited for. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
