1) Paperback Book Milan & The Lakes (Eyewitness Travel Guides) by DK Travel. I recently visited Milan and the Lakes and this book was by far my saving grace. It was my first time visiting Milan and I was able to navigate myself around as if I was a local! Some of my favorite things about the book are the following:
1. The book is broken up by the sections of Milan i.e. Northwest, Northeast, Historic Center etc. This made my daily planning very easy!
2. Each highlighted historic site has a brief background and summary about its amazing past along with a "visitor´s checklist". It was my private tour guide!
3. A subway map is included to make getting around the city effortless.
4. A map was included (with detailed street names) for each section.
5. Finally, a Travel Information section is included to aid you through purchasing train tickets for regional or internal travel. Getting to the Lakes and Switzerland was a breeze!

Overall, I HIGHLY recommend this book and I look forward to purchasing other "DK" books in the future.

2) Paperback Book Milan & The Lakes (Eyewitness Travel Guides) by DK Travel. This book has served as an outstanding resource during my one-week trip to Milan, Italy - or should I say Milano? It´s very well-organized, to the point, and provides moderate information for multiple neighborhoods along with regular touristy stuff. What I love about DK Publishing, in general, is extensive use of pictures, thick gloss paper, use of multiple colors, and practical color-coding; and this book offers all of these elements.

I personally cannot justify spending a week reading Fodor´s for one-week trip. So I love this layout; it´s so easy to consume that you can scan it on a JFK->MXP flight, and the book is small-enough to carry in your overcoat pocket. The author covers various aspects of everyday tourist life, such as sight-seeing, commute, dining, shopping, and detailed neighborhood maps.

Please note: it´s a city-specific guide, so it may not appeal to many tourists because most tourists would plan on visiting multiple cities on a trip to Italy. If your destination is only Milan and its surrounding areas, I would strongly recommend this guide.

Felice Viaggio!

4) Paperback Book Milan & The Lakes (Eyewitness Travel Guides) by DK Travel. This book was very helpful to read before going to Milano and Lago Maggiore.

I admit we did not do a whole lot of sightseeing at the lake, as it was a relaxing vacation vs. a run-around-and-see-stuff vacation. However, the information provided was substantial.¤
