Lombardy... its lakes, mountains and mythical cities. If there is one region that perfectly characterizes Italy's exceptional beauty, it is this one. Located in the north of the country, on the Swiss border, Lombardy is the most populated region in Italy. From the Alps to the Po Plain, it offers a wide variety of landscapes, each more beautiful than the next.

Renowned for their unrivalled unspoilt beauty, the great lakes of Italy will seduce both sportsmen and nature lovers. Start with the discovery of Lake La Garde, the largest lake in the country. Surrounded by vineyards, olive trees and palm trees, it is bordered to the south by the town of Sirmione: in a real postcard setting, its medieval remains stand facing the immense expanse of turquoise water. Sirmione was also the resort of Julius Caesar and Maria Callas. The change of scenery is guaranteed thanks to its quiet alleys and its imposing historical heritage which will give you the impression to stroll in another time. On the lake, fishing, swimming, water skiing, boat rides or even surfing will be on the programme. All around, you will be able to initiate you with climbing, with the VTT in family or with the excursion with horse.

Further west, 50 kilometres from Milan, make a stop on Lake Como. If it has been the meeting place of the aristocracy and the world of the jet-set for years, it is most certainly for its exceptional beauty and softness of life. Walking along the shores of this magnificent lake, in a romantic atmosphere worthy of Hollywood films, you will be able to observe many wealthy villas overlooking the lake. Finally, Lake Maggiore is a two-hour drive away. Second largest lake of the country, it is the paradise of the sportsmen. There are a total of 10 golf courses and numerous hiking trails along the lake. Just like many artists who have stayed there, you will certainly fall under its spell !

How to evoke Lombardy without talking about Milan ? Italy's economic capital, but also fashion capital, this multifaceted metropolis has a strong cultural heritage. Visit its mythical La Scala theatre, but also the Duomo square where a huge Gothic cathedral stands, the magnificent Galleria Vittorio Emanuele II and the Basilica of Santa Maria delle Grazie which houses the famous fresco of the Last Supper, Leonardo da Vinci's masterpiece. Dynamic city, it is the appointment of the amateurs of shopping, the lovers of history and the fine gourmets.

Many other cities are worth a visit, such as the art cities of Bergamo, Pavia and Mantua (listed on UNESCO's World Heritage List thanks to its Renaissance architecture, palaces and churches).

Finally, Lombardy's cuisine is generous and copious : you will certainly remember a generous Osso Buco, a fruity panettone or a delicious Milanese risotto.
