Stay in Lombardia (Lombardy)

One Day

Milan is all you can handle with only one day. From its iconic central focal point at Piazza Duomo to Sant’Ambrogio church, exhibits and museums all across the city, Brand and luxury shoppers from all corners of the globe descend upon Quadrilatero d’Oro.

Three Days

For a more historical vantage point on Lombardia head to the towns of Pavia to the south and Mantova to the east. In Pavia explore the grounds at the Certosa monastery then direct yourself to Palazzo Te on the outskirts of Mantova for a real head first dive into antiquity.

One Week

It’s time to witness the sheer beauty of Italy’s lake district for yourself. Lake Garda and Como are enormous and visibly stunning. The mountainous Alps jut out along the shorelines in stark contrast, bringing lush forested landscapes that are ripe for exploring. Maggiore in the west is not to be overlooked as they contain resorts, beauty, and inspiration galore.
