As many of you may know, Northern Italy is studded with picturesque cities and villages. One example is Mantua, which has been named a UNESCO world heritage site for its charming Renaissance cityscape. Visiting these cities is surely a beautiful experience, as you’ll find yourself surrounded by art, eye-catching architecture and luxurious nature. However, traveling from one city to another is the best part of it all. And in this article I will tell you about the the most fantastic trip I have ever made in my life.

One day, a friend of mine and I were in Peschiera, a town at the southern end of Lake Garda, Italy’s biggest stretch of water. It was sometime in March, and the day was perfect: no clouds in the sky, and a cool breeze blew from the North. We happened to be in town to catch a train to Milan to attend a music event that same night. Since we were already there, we decided to chill at the lake that morning, and to head to Milan in the late afternoon.
