June is when we start to breathe in the atmosphere of summer: days are longer, evenings are all about being outside, and Lombardy’s landscapes are coloured with flowers. 

It’s the perfect time to get moving, to enjoy the sunshine, with trekking in the mountains, walks by the lake, and panoramic hikes. The city, on the other hand, becomes a stage for music festivals, art events and opportunities to taste typical produce, creating new occasions for socialising. And there's no shortage of initiatives for motoring enthusiasts and great sporting events. 

Every province in Lombardy invites you to explore, savour and rediscover the area during the summer season, where there are so many memories to be made.
