Travel Insider: famtip of the day
My best tip on how to fight jet lag is to drink a lot of water during the flight. Then, once you have arrived at your destination, if the current time in that country is earlier than 1:00pm, have a cat nap of no longer than three hours. Force yourself to get up and carry on the day on that time zone. If the current time is later than 1:00pm, then try to stay awake as long as you possibly can. By going to bed no earlier than 7:00pm you should be able to acclimatize to the current time zone in the easiest way possible.

There is an outdoor market in Como every Tuesday and Thursday morning, and the whole day on Sunday. This is always a great way to interact with the local people and connect.
