Italy is a country with many different flavors. Northern Italy is a unique and exquisite experience where you'll find a more continental European feel with majestic mountain views, and stunning natural wonders.

Milan is a bustling cosmopolitan city charged with its own unique energy. It is home to the world's fashion industry, artistic masterpieces such as Leonardo da Vinci's "The Last Supper" and the world-famous opera house, La Scala.

Milan is the perfect launch for jaunts into the lake region, nestled just below the Italian Alps. Lake Como provides breathtaking vistas dotted with quaint lakeside towns and lavish villas.

For the most beautiful gardens in Italy, visit the shores of Lake Maggiore. Straddling the border between Italy and Switzerland, this glorious setting may just be the single most romantic spot on Earth.
