Tirano — Basilica e Trenino Rosso
Lombardy
Tirano's basilica, built on a site of a reported 16th-century apparition, remains an important pilgrimage destination, while the town's railway station serves as the Italian terminus for the UNESCO-listed Bernina Express, one of Europe's most scenic rail routes into Switzerland. The flat streets between them are easy walking.
