Located between Switzerland, Piedmont, Veneto, Trentino-Alto Adige, and Emilia-Romagna, Lombardy is the Italian region that offers its visitors exceptional sites. Massifs, plains, cities, museums, places of worship, or gastronomy, there is so much to visit in Lombardy! This region is famous for its numerous lakes, which attract millions of visitors every year. It is also one of the most important places for Italian gastronomy. The Lombards have invented many dishes, such as risotto alla milanese, polenta and gnocchi, and with a population of ten million inhabitants, it is the most populated region in the country. From the Alps to Brescia and Cremona, you will soon realize that Milan is not the only place worth admiring. The history of northern Italy passes through Lombardy, as does the history of the development and industrialization of the Belpaese. But Lombardy is also a fascinating region from a landscape point of view, where the imposing peaks of the Alps, bordering Switzerland, and the foothills of the Alps descend into the Po Valley, crossed by rivers that give rise to some of the largest and most important lakes in Italy. The richness of Lombardy's historical traditions, apparently hidden in the large commercial cities, is to be found, genuine and heartfelt, in the provinces and in the villages of the lakes and mountains. A good way to discover Lombardy is to follow the numerous enogastronomic itineraries, real passe-partout to discover the different stories of its valleys, lakes, rivers and its many cities of art and hidden villages. Milan! The journey to discover Lombardy cannot but begin with its capital, Milan. With centuries of history, with periods of particular splendor in which it played major historical roles, Milan is rightfully among the great Italian cities of art that preserve famous monuments of the past. Defined as voluptuous by Stendhal, Lake Como has been fascinating visitors from all over the world for centuries, attracted by its flourishing parks, its thick forests and the pleasant villages that rise on its shores. Other famous lakes in the region are Lake Garda, Lake Maggiore, and Lake Iseo. Finally, a town that few people know about but is totally worth a visit is Pavia. The city is home to the famous Universita degli studi di Pavia, and it has it all: a medieval castle, a market in the heart of the city, a duomo of incredible dimensions, and a covered bridge to marvel at the sunsets. This city, like many others in the region, reflects Italian culture at its core. Worried about expenses? We're here to help you stretch your budget with free accommodations.
