Explora la cultura de Lombardy: Tradición viva
Sumérgete en la rica historia y cultura de Lombardy a través de sus museos y monumentos.
Lombardy is the economic engine of Italy and a region of astonishing sophistication and diversity. It is a land where the peaks of the Alps give way to rolling hills and the most glamorous lakes in the country, finally extending across the fertile Po plain. Its capital, Milan, is a vibrant metropolis, a nerve center for finance, fashion and design that sets global trends. But beyond Milan, Lombardy treasures cities of art such as Renaissance Mantua, historic Brescia and charming Bergamo with its walled upper city. The region is a melting pot of history, from the cave paintings of Val Camonica to Roman villas and medieval castles. Traveling through Lombardy is enjoying an aperitif at the Navigli in Milan, sailing through the blue waters of Lake Como, exploring the vineyards of Franciacorta or marveling at the genius of Leonardo da Vinci.

Aviso de Viaje
Booking a ticket to see 'The Last Supper' by Leonardo da Vinci must be done **several months in advance**, as they sell out very quickly. Driving in large city centers such as Milan is restricted by Limited Traffic Zones (ZTL); It is better to use public transportation. The region is a major business center, so hotels in Milan can be expensive, especially during big trade shows like Fashion Week or the Salone del Mobile.
