Travel With Me // Milan in Two Days, Milan, Italy

For our final country on聽our extended backpacking trip, we picked Italy, a destination that has been at the top of my dream travel list for many years. When we left the US a couple months earlier, we actually didn鈥檛 know if we would be able to make it to Italy. We decided to play it by ear and see how the budget and our energy levels were. Well, we ended up being able to tack on this last country, and we were so glad that we did!聽Some of our best memories from the trip happened聽in Italy.

We started just across the Swiss-Italian border in聽the Lombardy region. Our first city was Milan! Milan is a key player in the world of fashion and design, but it is also home to amazing architecture, culture, and history. We had about two days in this city, and we packed in the activities and the Italian food!
