Who doesn’t love a cosmopolitan city break? We know we do, especially if there’s a train involved, especially if there’s a cross-country train involved. Interested? Then board the train from Geneva to Milan, it takes just under four hours, and lets you enjoy a front-row seat to the beautiful scenery of Switzerland and Italy. Plus, with comfortable SBB trains carrying you there, you can sit back, relax and congratulate yourself on a fabulous trip. So, get started in Geneva. Its lake and awe-inspiring fountain are a must-see, but the season’s hottest styles are calling, and that can only mean Milan!
Galleria Vittorio Emanuele II houses the very best of Italian fashion houses as well as other global giants of impeccable style, all within its ornate 19th-century arcade. There’s a mosaic bull that is known to give luck if you spin on it, so even if you don’t have a fortune to spend on designer gear, you can still take some good fortune away with you! The neighbouring Duomo perfectly suits the high-fashion feel of the city, after all, it’s topped with a gold Madonnina statue! Sforza Castle has plenty more regal style to offer, with pretty fountains you can dip your feet in on a hot day. Ready for a stylish getaway? Just see our journey info below!
