With Milan as its capital, Lombardy constitutes part of the beating heart of Europe. One of the most prosperous, dynamic and beautiful regions in Europe, Lombardy is home to 11 UNESCO World Heritage Sites. Situated at the foot of the breath-taking Alps, Lombardy offers exceptional hiking, sailing, and winter sport opportunities across its Alpine peaks, glacial lakes and fertile plains. For food-lovers, Lombardy’s culinary heritage reflects its geographical and historical diversity: from Alpine cheeses and rich risottos to sparkling wines and saffron-laced dishes.
Milan offers one of the world's best fashion centres, a beautiful Gothic Cathedral and Leonardo Da Vinci's painting 'The Last Supper'. Visit La Scala opera house and shop in Galleria Vittorio Emmanuel. Outside the cities, explore the Italian 'champagne' region of Franciacorta, the race tracks of Monza, the beautiful medieval towns of Padua, Mantua and Bergamo or head north into the Italian Lakes.
Once the capital of the Western Roman Empire and long a centre of European commerce, Milan today remains a dynamic and cosmopolitan city, where aperitivo culture, Michelin-starred cuisine, and contemporary art galleries coexist with Roman ruins and Renaissance masterpieces.
Whether your interests lie in design, gastronomy, history or high fashion, Milan offers a refined and rewarding experience for every kind of traveller.
