We went to Milan and the Lakes last year. This, as are all DK books, is a wonderful visual presentation of the area. They are also great books for dreamers, who just don't travel, but dream of the day they will. I think there are better tour books that provide more details on hotels/restaurants/transportation, etc., but you cannot get the visual feel of a place any better than through the DK books. I always supplement the DK books with a Steves' or Fodor book, as those books do provide down to earth, necessary details for a trip. If you are investing in a dream vacation, buy this book as well as another - these books, even after the trip, will provide visual memories that no other travel book can.

A lot packed into a little book. There's a lot to see in the Milan area and a lot of history outside of the main Galleria area, which is not covered as well as could be in book. Nonetheless, the history and ideas were helpful. My suggestion is read through the book and organize your visit to the area as the majority of the sites are downtown; from there, your travels to the lakes, etc., will take some planning.

This book was updated for 2013, so it has the latest info on Milan. Of course, the pictures and illustrations that come with all DK books make it a most enjoyable reference tool. The slim design makes it ideal for traveling.
