Overview
Set against the foothills of the Alps, Lake Como offers a peaceful yet glamorous escape in northern Italy. The lake is ringed with quaint towns like Bellagio, Varenna, and Menaggio—each with its own personality, historic villas, and postcard-perfect views.
Spend your day cruising across the water, wandering cobbled streets, or sipping espresso by the shore as boats glide by. The region is known for its beautiful gardens, boutique shopping, and authentic cuisine—from fresh lake fish to creamy risottos.
Whether you are here for romance, relaxation, or a little bit of both, Lake Como delivers timeless charm with a touch of indulgence. It’s a destination that feels both exclusive and welcoming, perfect for a scenic and serene escape.
Start your day in the charming town of Como, the largest on the lake, known for its medieval streets, beautiful architecture, and vibrant waterfront. Take a stroll along the lakeside promenade for stunning views of the lake and mountains. Visit the Duomo di Como, the beautiful cathedral in the heart of the town, and the Piazza Cavour, the central square.
Tip: Don’t miss a visit to the Funicolare di Como-Brunate, a funicular ride that takes you to the top of Brunate for panoramic views of the lake and surrounding mountains.
Villa Olmo, one of Lake Como’s most famous villas, is an impressive neoclassical mansion set against the lake's sparkling waters. The villa is surrounded by beautiful gardens, perfect for a relaxing stroll. The villa often hosts art exhibitions and cultural events, so check if there are any events during your visit.
Tip: Take some time to admire the villa's architecture and the stunning lakeside gardens. It’s a peaceful place to soak in the lake’s beauty.
No visit to Lake Como is complete without experiencing the lake from the water. Take a scenic boat tour to admire the breathtaking views of the shoreline, dotted with charming villages, grand villas, and lush gardens. The boat ride offers a unique perspective of the lake’s beauty, and you will pass by iconic spots like Bellagio, Varenna, and Menaggio.
Tip: Opt for a guided boat tour to learn about the history of the lake and the famous villas that line its shores. If time allows, you can hop off at one of the lakeside towns to explore further.
Bellagio, often referred to as the "Pearl of Lake Como," is a picturesque village located at the point where the lake’s two branches meet. Known for its cobbled streets, colorful buildings, and vibrant flower-filled gardens, Bellagio is a must-visit during your day at Lake Como. Wander through the charming streets and enjoy shopping in local boutiques. Visit Villa Melzi, a beautiful villa with stunning gardens that overlooks the lake.
Tip: Enjoy lunch in one of the lakeside restaurants with a view of the water and the surrounding mountains.
For a dose of history and luxury, head to Villa del Balbianello, located in Lenno. This villa, perched on a peninsula, is one of the most famous landmarks on Lake Como and has been the backdrop for numerous films, including Star Wars and James Bond. The villa's stunning gardens, terraced steps, and magnificent views make it one of the most sought-after attractions in the area.
Tip: If you’re interested in the villa’s history, take a guided tour to explore the opulent interiors and learn about its fascinating past.
Varenna is another charming village located on the eastern shore of Lake Como. This picturesque town features colorful houses, narrow streets, and peaceful lakeside views. Visit the Villa Monastero, a former monastery turned villa, with beautiful botanical gardens and a museum showcasing the area’s history.
Tip: Take some time to relax in the town’s small cafés and enjoy a peaceful moment with a cappuccino while overlooking the lake.
End your day with a leisurely lakeside meal. Lake Como is renowned for its delicious Italian cuisine, so be sure to try some local dishes like risotto con pesce persico (risotto with perch) or missoltini (dried fish). Many restaurants offer outdoor terraces with views of the lake, providing the perfect atmosphere for a memorable meal.
Tip: Savor your meal with a glass of local wine while soaking in the stunning views of the lake at sunset.
