Regional Information
Think of Lombardy, and often all that springs to mind is Milan. With its stunning Gothic cathedral, Da Vinci's Last Supper, La Scala, and home to Italy's fashion designers there's certainly enough for a weekend. But to rush out of Lombardy after seeing Milan is a mistake for the region has much to offer.
To the north are the Alps offering excellent skiing in world famous resorts like Livigno, In summer, hikers will appreciate the wild beauty of the Stelvio National Park. Those who prefer their Alpine views without the effort should head to the lakes. Lakes Como, Maggiore and Orta offer breathtaking Alpine vistas, yet a mild climate ideal for water sports or gentle strolls.
There's culture too. Lombardy was the cradle of Romanesque architecture of which you'll find stunning examples of in most towns such as Pavia where Romanesque churches are tucked away in hidden piazzas. Although the town's main claim to fame are its medieval towers that rival those of San Gimignano. Another medieval delight is Cremona, with its narrow honeycomb of streets and jumble of domed roofs.
The birthplace of Stradivarius; today the tradition lives on with over 100 violin makers vying for trade here! And for a flavour of Venice, visit Bergamo. Once owned by the Venetian Republic, the higher part of the town is characterised by its Palladian style villas and ornate, wrought iron balconies. And no visit to the region is complete without seeing the Ducal Palaces of Mantua, a Renaissance gem hailed as having the “most romantic skyline in the world”. With cosmopolitan café chic, medieval towns, world famous fashion houses, beautiful lakes, Alpine vistas and Lombardy's hard to beat.
