HangarBicocca is a contemporary art space in Milan. A former industrial space previously owned by Ansaldo-Breda in the area which was once dominated by Pirelli factories, it was converted to house exhibitions and events. The area has become urbanised and trendy with shops, houses and galleries popping up all around since HangarBiccoca's opening. With a unique approach to organising events, utilising space and involving the general public as well as a rather special site, the HangarBicocca is one of the most interesting contemporary art spaces in the world.

Lake Carezza in the Italian Dolomites is one of the most, and one of the many, beautiful lakes that the area can boast. However, it is also one of the more unique, and especially stunning, lakes in the region. Also known by locals as “Lec de ergobando”, or Rainbow Lake, due to the way light and the surrounding landscape reflects colourfully on the surface of the waters, it is shrouded in local legend. If you're looking for a holiday drenched in natural beauty, otherworldly settings and stories of lovesick sorcerers and drowned rainbows, this might just be the place for you. Find yourself a holiday rental in Trentino Alto Adige and you can explore this natural phenomenon and the myths surrounding it for yourself.

Venice is a city steeped in fascinating history but sometimes all that history can be overwhelming or unending and you need a little bit of a break from it or to absorb it in a different way. It's easier to learn or take in information if it's in a fun way, which is why it might be a good idea to do the ghost tour of Venice, rather than a regular guided tour. Taking place at night and on foot, it's a fantastic way to get a real feel of the layout and atmosphere of the city while learning and being thrilled at the same time!

So, to help you out, we've rounded up a list of some of the best places and shops to visit on your next trip. Find a holiday rental in Milan and shop until you drop.
