Lombardy
Northern Italy's most economically developed region, with fashion capital Milan and lake scenery at Lake Como, Lake Garda and more.
Lombardy lies in northern Italy, bordered to the north by the Swiss Alps, with the Po Valley plain to the south. Its capital, Milan, is a center of fashion, design and finance, and Milan Cathedral, The Last Supper and La Scala opera house are must-sees; in the north, the scenic lakes of Como, Maggiore and the western shore of Garda are beautiful, and old towns such as Bergamo and Mantua are also worth a visit. Spring and autumn are the best seasons for the lakes, and in winter you can ski in the Alps. Milan Malpensa, Linate and Bergamo airports are the main gateways, and rail runs to the rest of the country and Switzerland.
