Family holidays Lombardy

You can spend your family holidays Lombardy in the mountains or by the lake, as here you can find many hotels in the mountains or by the lake for children. Some of the most popular destinations are: Valtelline (German: Veltlin, Italian: Valtellina), the valleys around Bergamo for winter and summer holidays in the mountains or the lakes: Lago Maggiore, the Como Lake, the Iseo Lake, and so on. A museum which shouldn’t be missed during your family holidays Lombardy is the “Dolls and Toys museum” in Angera, near Varese, on the Lago Maggiore. The museum lies in the famous “Rocca Borromeo”, a historic and panoramic residence. Nearby lie the famous Borromean Islands (Italian: Isole Borromee), visited and praised by important writers like Flaubert and Dickens. The most important ones are the “Isola Bella” and the “Isola Madre”.

If your children are studying the Alessandro Manzoni novel “The Betrothed”, why not visiting the city of Lecco, where this very important Italian novel was set?
