Pisa is another lovely option, especially if you want to combine the trip with Tuscany or Cinque Terre. For those of you traveling from Gothenburg, Ryanair offers two direct flights per week, on Sundays and Wednesdays.

Milan Malpensa (MXP) & Milan Linate (LIN) – The most international flight options, especially from the U.S.
