About this trip
Three of Italy's best-known lakes in one trip, moving between Maggiore, Como and Garda by first-class train with plenty of free time to explore each base at your own pace.
Along the way there are two proper optional extras: a scenic rail ride from Lake Maggiore into Switzerland through the Centovalli valley to Locarno, and the chance to ride the Bernina Express from Milan up to St Moritz.
The trip winds down with two nights in Milan, giving you time to see the city before heading home.
