What to See in Lombardy: Milan, Lakes, and Art Cities

Lombardy is a region in Northern Italy, whose capital is the city of Milan, one of the world's most important centers for fashion and finance. Your trip to visit Lombardy starts right here, also due to its proximity to the airports.

Art and Relaxation in Milan

Visiting Milan means embarking on a tour to immerse yourself in the history of great noble families like the Sforza or the Borromeo. Exploring the historic center of the Lombard capital often means discovering the city's hidden gems: after climbing the 201 steps of the Milan Duomo, the view opens up over the historic center. Looking northwest, there is Via Dante, which runs through central Milan up to the Sforza Castle. To best immerse yourself in the city, stay at the B&B HOTELS in Milan. Near the Duomo is the Ducal Palace, an important stop on the Milanese itinerary. Moving towards Cairoli, ancient luxury reigns alongside art: nearby is the Vincian Last Supper (Cenacolo Vinciano) by Leonardo Da Vinci. Within the Castle grounds is now the largest park in central Milan, Parco Sempione.

For those seeking a strategic base for both business and leisure, the Monza and Brianza area offers perfect solutions: you can stay at the B&B HOTEL Milano Monza near the famous racetrack or the B&B HOTEL Habitat Giussano to explore the Brianza area and easily reach Milan.

The Lombard Lakes: From Como to Garda

Leaving the capital of Lombardy behind, the ideal tour touches the shores of Lake Como. The route 65 starts from the small village, allowing you to admire the landscapes from the surrounding mountains: this itinerary is particularly suitable for nature lovers, who can enjoy beautiful walks along the shores of Lake Como. The best choices for staying here are the B&B HOTELS in Como.

From Bergamo to Brescia

Skirting the shores eastward, you enter the lake area, near the historic city of Bergamo: to visit it, stay at the B&B Hotel Bergamo City or the B&B HOTEL Bergamo Executive. The city connects the region's main lakes, including Lake Iseo.

Brescia is an ancient city of art whose origins date back 3200 years and possesses a rich artistic and architectural heritage. It's a city frequented for both business and leisure; whatever the reason for your visit, the B&B HOTEL Brescia has the ideal solution for your needs.

Mantua and Cremona

The tour concludes in the cities of Mantua and Cremona. Mantua, a splendid city on the shores of three lakes: take a walk through the center, enjoy a bike tour between the Ducal Palace (Palazzo Ducale) and the city's treasures, and have an aperitivo followed by typical dishes, such as pumpkin tortelli or risotto alla pilota. The B&B HOTEL Mantova is the ideal starting point for exploring the city.

Cremona, famous worldwide as the capital of violin making and located on the banks of the River Po, boasts a rich heritage of history and culture. Explore the historic center, the Cathedral, and the Torrazzo, and discover the natural beauty of the area, such as the Adda Sud Park, home to the world's oldest pile-dwelling settlement, in Rivolta d'Adda. And for a smart stay in this area, the B&B HOTEL Cremona is the ideal solution.
