Lombardy is one of Italy’s most dynamic regions-offering everything from world-class ski slopes to luxurious summer lake resorts. Milan is the pulse of the nation-commercial, fashionable,and forward-looking.Rome may be bigger and have the political power, but Milan and the affluent north are what really make the country go. It’s also Italy’s transport hub,whith the biggest international airport, the most rail connection, and the best subway system.Leonardo da Vinci’s “Last Supper” and other great works of art are here, as well as a spectacular Gothic Duomo, the finest of its kind.Milan even reigns supreme where it really counts (in the minds of many Italians),routinely trouncing the rest of the nation whith its two premier soccer teams. Milan is more European than Italian, a new buckle on an old boot,and although its old city can stand cobblestone for cobblestone against the best of them,seekers of Roman ruins and fairy-tale tows may pass.Visitors lured by thne wolrd-class shopping will appreciate Milan’s European sophistication while discovering unexpected facets of a country they may have only thought they knew.(Contact us if more than 3 passengers)
