The Rough Guide to the Italian Lakes is the definitive guide to this region of legendary natural beauty, and includes coverage of Milan, Verona and Bergamo as well as areas just across the border in Italian-speaking Switzerland. A full-colour section introduces the highlights of the lakes, with accounts of all the sights - from the Duomo in Milan to the shores of Lake Garda. In addition, there are full-colour inserts looking in detail at the cuisine of the lakes and the top ten villas and gardens. The guide includes practical tips on how to get the best out of the region, from exploring Lake Como to relaxing on Lake Maggiore and discovering Lake Orta or Lake Lugano, as well as venturing further afield to Mantova, Cremona or Bellinzona. There are candid reviews of the best places to stay, eat, drink and shop at all budgets, and the guide comes complete with clear, accurate maps for every region and every town.
