Lombardy (Italy) - Wink Travel Guide

Lombardy encompasses both Alps and Prealps in the north, and relatively flat plains in the south along the river Po and its tributaries. Between them there are many scenic lakes, and the alpine backdrop makes even the low-lying cities picturesque and the air rather fresh.

The regional capital, Milan, is Italy's second-largest city and the foremost centre of commerce and a global fashion capital.

Lombardy is the region of Italy with the most UNESCO World Heritage sites - and simply, a lot of history and scenic views to explore and enjoy.
