Lombardia, or Lombardy, is one of Italy’s most northern regions, and borders Switzerland. It is full of alpine thrills, lakes with glamorous visitors, and the country’s commercial powerhouse: Milan. A city so unlike its other Italian counterparts, Milan is well worth exploring to get a different feel of Italy (think, some skyscrapers) and enjoy the best risotto of your life.
