Italy Travel Blog: Escaping Milan for Lake Maggiore
This is not our first trip to Italy, however I haven't had time to update our 2024 trip, when I find the time it will be posted here, in the meantime if your planning a trip to northern Italy and looking for an easy escape from the busy streets of Milan, This blog takes you to Arona, a relaxed lakeside town on the shores of Lake Maggiore, known for its peaceful promenades, scenic viewpoints and charming old‑town atmosphere. If you're searching for a quieter, more authentic alternative to the big cities, Arona is the perfect place to slow down and enjoy the beauty of the Italian lakes.
After departing Palermo and arriving in Milan — a city that’s never been a favourite — we decided to escape the crowds and head straight for the nearest lake. Lake Maggiore was the perfect choice, and the charming town of Arona offered exactly the kind of peaceful break we needed. With an eight‑hour layover to kill, this lakeside stop became an ideal way to unwind, enjoy the scenery, and break up the long journey ahead.
