Ideal destinations near Lake Como



Lake Como: what to know

Lake Como offers beautiful landscapes for lake-view experiences. The area is not only famous for magnificent villas on the shore, but also for delicious local products, such as cotechino and bresaola, as well as for villages and towns, such as Varenna, Menaggio, and Bellagio.

What to do at Lake Como

The best activities at Lake Como are undoubtedly horse riding from Colico, to immerse yourself in the waters of the lake along with your horse, or in the mountains above Lecco. Otherwise, you can always opt for a boat ride from Bellagio or a lake-view e-bike tour for the more athletic. On the other hand, if you are looking for a more intimate culinary experience, tastings of local products are for you!

A special occasion at Lake Como

Varenna, Bellagio and Menaggio guarantee an atmosphere suitable for any type of occasion. Whether you are looking for a romantic dinner, a couple's boat tour on the lake, wine tastings or a nice horse ride with friends, Lake Como is the right destination!
