Lombardy is a region that offers something for everyone. Milan is the country's business capital and the center for everything that's up-to-the-minute. The great Renaissance cities of the Po Plain -- Pavia, Cremona, and Mantua -- are stately and serene, embracing their past with nostalgia while at the same time keeping an eye on the present. Topping any list of the region's attractions are the Italian Lakes -- glacial waters stretching out below the Alps -- which have been praised as the closest thing to paradise by writers throughout the ages, from Virgil to Hemingway.

Millions of travelers have concurred: for sheer beauty, the lakes of northern Italy -- Como, Maggiore, Garda, and Orta -- have few equals. Along their shores are 18th- and 19th-century villas, exotic formal gardens, sleepy villages, and dozens of resorts that were once Europe's most fashionable, and still retain a powerful allure.

The region of Liguria (known to pleasure-seekers as the Italian Riviera) has northern Italy's most attractive stretch of coastline. Though there are some good beaches, the main appeal is the beauty of the seaside cliffs and coves, and of the small towns interspersed among them. The most celebrated is tiny but glamorous Portofino, though these days it gets competition from the even tinier villages of the Cinque Terre, famous for the hiking paths that run between them. Smack in the middle of the coast is Genoa, Italy's busiest port. It holds the region's main cultural attractions, intermixed with some port-city grit.
