If you come to Milan, Italy, be sure to leave a day for Lake Como!
Como is the most famous lake in northern Italy, a common saying among the locals is: those who have vacationed at Lake Como are the ones who truly understand life. Lake Como is near the Alps, so in addition to the beautiful lake view, there is also a magnificent feeling~.
If you come to I sincerely recommend a day trip to Como. It takes an hour by train from Milan, and there are many beautiful small towns scattered around the lake. The scenery is very stunning, many locals come here for the weekend, wearing swimsuits and jumping directly into the blue lake water, super decompression!
Route: Milan Central Railway Station-Veranna Town (1.5 hours)- Bellagio (15 minutes by boat)-Como Town (1 hour by boat)-Return to Milan (1 hour)
Travel Guide Cable Car on the Mountain Top
You can see the distant Alps and the nearby Lake Como, round-trip ticket is 6.6 euros, every fifteen minutes, 5 minutes to the top of the mountain.
Lake Tour Boat
About an hour, will stay in the surrounding towns, you can sightsee on the boat without getting off, 8.9 euros per person
Cathedral
Classic Gothic architecture, free to visit, no tickets required, but the toilet charges, if you can't accept it, you can go to a coffee shop or bar for a free use
Veranna: There are many boats from Veranna to Bellagio, but they are not direct, you have to go to Menaggio first, there is a castle on the top of the mountain in Veranna, but you have to climb the mountain by yourself, if you really don't want to walk, it's also very comfortable to walk by the lake
Bellagio: Compared to Veranna, I like it here more, although the place is very small, but there are all kinds of exquisite small shops everywhere, the alleys in the sun are like with filters, various colors of walls, taking pictures and so on are really beautiful, addicted in a second~
visited lake como in November 2023, I wouldn’t recommend going at that time of the year as we experienced a lot of rain, nonetheless it was still a beautiful place, with lots to do! We went to Bellagio and Varenna by ferry, which was super easy to use and both places were breathtaking
Just beautiful! So relaxing and breathtaking. Would love to come here in the summer and take the ferries to other towns and beaches.
Beautiful little lake town! If I could speak Italian and had good style I would move here 💯 percent!
Especially beautiful. The language is indescribable. From Milan 50-80KM. Self-driving tour [scenery]
A very scenic lake in italy that attracts many visitors. Very calm lake and scenic.
So beautiful and breathtaking view. In each of those towns there are certain elegance and a wonderful architecture set of buildings with lake view
