We are camping in Lake Garda end of June for 2 weeks and i was wondering if anyone has had any experience of public transport in Italy with young children? We fly into Milan Malpensa to go to a campsite near Salo on West edge of lake garda. Ds 6 is fine in the car dd1 4 gets car sick and dd2 2 just gets grumpy! Have heard horror stories about italian roads esp the Milan ringroad and wonder if we really need a car as some days we will not leave the campsite and i know there are good rail and boat trips from there. So basically just getting to and from airport... any views would be much appreciated. thanks

I've only been to Italy once. We were in Milan, Lake Como and Bergamo for a few days each. the rail links were great but do watch out for the frequent strikes! We also used the bus and boats, all of which were fab.

We've driven around Milan , chaotic in the city itself but the ring road was fine and the airport a fair way out iirc.
