The Lombardy region, or Lombardia, in northern Italy, is one of the country's most diverse and culturally rich areas. Bordered by Switzerland, and the Italian regions of Piedmont, Emilia-Romagna, Trentino-Alto Adige, and Veneto, it combines Alpine peaks with some of Italy's most stunning lakes, including Lake Como, Lake Maggiore, and Lake Garda. Its capital, Milan, is the nation's fashion and cultural hub, and the wealthiest city in Italy. Unlike more tourist-heavy regions, Lombardy remains refreshingly less crowded, offering visitors a chance to experience authentic Italian life while exploring breathtaking scenery and world-class destinations. Discover quaint towns and villages like Bellagio, Bergamo, Baveno, Cremona, Riva del Garda, Stresa, and Mantova to name a few.
