Hi everyone,
I'll have three full days in Europe (late that Sunday night to early Thursday morning) soon to travel where I please, starting in Milan and ending anywhere within a few hour's train ride of Milan. Does anyone have route suggestions?
I love to explore food, so Lyon has always been high on my list and I'm thinking that will be the center point. Maybe something like fly to Barcelona from Milan, take a train to Lyon and then a train to Nice, where I will meet back with my company from Milan?
I'm open to any thoughts at this point.

You'll spend most of your short three days in airports and in trains. It's a far better idea to just stay around Milan.

I've been before and the last time I only had two days to explore solo. I did two separate day trips. Took a train to Rome one day and a train to Zurich the next.
It would not be hard to cover my example route of flying to Barcelona Sunday night, getting to Lyon by Tuesday/Wednesday and then meeting up with my company Thursday morning in Nice. Especially since I intend to do most of my sleeping on the plane/train.
Similar question. I'm flying into madrid and have 96 hours there. Should I split my time between madrid and barcelona, or stay in madrid.
Madrid only will be convenient but i wont get a chance to come back to europe for a while I think. Is it worth it to deal with the hassle of being tired and traveling to another city given I will only be there for 4 days?
Just pick one place and spend a few nights there.
Things I'd consider that are relatively close are:
- Bled / Bohinj, Slovenia
- Lyon, France
- Geneva, Switzerland
- Salzburg, Switzerland

madrid is a lovely city. is it possible to fly out from barcelona for you? probably not, huh?
i'd recommend a day trip to toledo from madrid for you. it's a lovely, historic city.
but going to barcelona is not impossible, hell, it might even be doable on a day-trip. the train ride takes 2 1/2 hours these days, it's somewhat pricey though.

You don't have three days to spend anywhere in Europe, you have three days to spend around Milan. If I was staying in Boston for 3 days, you woulnd't recommend me to go to Vancouver just because I'm already in Northern America, right?
So pick something near Milan and stay there. Florence is beautiful. Lyon is also alright.

Smaller things around Milano that would be worth a visit where you can find some historic sights, nice nature, very good regional food and still pretty much un-americanized in terms of tourism.
Lago di Garda (just about everything around it)
The Como & Lugano region
South Tyrolia (Bozen & Meran)
All about 4h max by train and worth a 1-2 day stay.

salzburg is not in switzerland faggot it's in AUSTRIA
Also Venice, Bologna, Florence, Verona and Turin are also close to Milan and definitely worth a visit.

Very true! My brain must've seriously fucked up there.
