3 days before flying out Milan 'what to do?"

I am off for a wedding in Toceno little mt town north west of Milan.
4 days in Milan and La Scala 1 night booked and catch up with son
Monterosso 4 days with friend.
Toceno 5 days wedding commitments
I would love to see a opera in Verona but need your help if I am trying to train too much and if it is the best option.
I will be traveling alone with my little suit case. Thanks for all the advise on this one.

You might not be able to get tickets as this late date, but Verona is only 1:22 by train from Milan. I would plan to stay overnight in Verona if you can get opera tickets.

Be sure to go to the top of the duomo. You can walk around the roof among all the buttresses. The experience is AMAZING!

Visit the Poldi Pozzoli Museum in Milan, a real gem. Not far from La Scala, by the way. And we had a wonderful meal at Bebel's in Brera.

"Il cenacolo", the most famous painting by Leonardo Da Vinci and "La Pietà Rondanini" by Michelangelo are also a must. For the Cenacolo you've got to do reservations beforehand. Call Mo-Sa 8.00 am to 6.30pm 02 92 800 360.
