If it's the unique northern Italian you're looking for, Lombardy is the place for you. It doesn’t get more northern Italian than this. Hugging the Swiss border and boasting the vibrant, bustling Milan – both Italy’s industrial capital and a European leader in fashion – Italy’s Lombardy region is verdant, spectacular and cosmopolitan, a perfect combination of the efficiency and sophistication of Northern Europe along with the warmth and hospitality that makes Italy rank so highly on people’s lists of favorite countries.

Milan possesses a certain undeniable importance. Though lacking the architectural opulence and relexed way of life of some other Italian regions, what the city loses in charm, it makes up for in worldliness. Those with a hunger for people-watching will be satisfied. Milan is an undeniable world center of fashion, and this is hardly solely an export commodity.

A great place to start on your Milan sightseeing tour is the grand Duomo Cathedral, which has an astonishingly rich, and extensive collection gold and silver and ornately worked items, so many that your jaw will drop. The intense, incredible wealth of the collection is a testament to Milan’s historic importance. If you love this type of exhibition, you will also feel right at home exploring the Poldi Pezzoli Museum. Turning back even further in time, the incredible ruins at Collone di San Lorenzo are sure to take your breath away, and no first-time excursion in Milan would be complete without a visit to the impressive, towering Basilica of Saint Ambrose. At night, dive into Milan’s seductive Navigli District, which caters to lovers of delicious, Italian cuisine – influence greatly by its northern latitude near the French border – and those who love the call and pulse of bars, clubs and discos with top-notch DJ’s spinning House and Jungle all night long. Remember, this is Milan.

But don't get stuck in the city.
