Lombardy, where mountains touch the sky and lakes smooth
like glass stretch as far as the eye can see, is situated in
northern Italy and rubs shoulders with Switzerland and the
Alps. The region has the ultimate landscape and is plentiful in
treasures, like the Lakes District.
You will find that each lake has its own character. Spend the
day cruising on the lakes or simply relax and soak up the sun
along the pristine lakes of Garda, Como and Italy's 2nd largest lake, Maggiore. Lake Maggiore divides the regions of Lombardy and Piedmont. The Lakes District
is a place where you can be content with just strolling for
hours around the towns situated along the lakes, admiring the
beautiful gardens and villas, visiting boutique shoppes and
eating delectable meals ‘al fresco’ as you people watch. There are plenty of surrounding cities that will surprise you
with their gastronomic delights. And, if you want a bit more activity
during your trip, there is a variety of boating and windsurfing
opportunities.
Within an hour from the peace and harmony of the Lakes District is Milan, Lombardy’s capital and world renowned for its fashion and shopping. There is also the world famous Teatro alla Scala and Milan’s Duomo, which is the most striking example of Italian Gothic Architecture.
