I love Italy: The gelato, the papagalli, the dolce far niente. Somehow my head got tangled in these clichés like a fork in a heap of spaghetti. The funny thing is: On my frequent trips to Bella Italia, I actually find these clichés reflected in the reality around me. Just like around the North Italian lake land.
Need proof?
Here is a complete guide to the wonderful Lake Como – truly a lake to like.
Bella Italia begins right in the North as soon as you cross the Alps. Here are also the famous North Italian lakes which are i. a. Lago di Orta, Lago Maggiore, Lago Lugano, Lago di Como, and the largest one, Lago di Garda – listed from West to East.
Lago di Como – a Lake to Like
Of these lakes, me and George Clooney, we like Lago di Como best.
He proved his love by buying Villa Oleandra in Laglio for 10 million Dollars from John Heinz. That’s the man who has made billions by preparing salsa from pomodori.
And I prove my love by introducing this deep blue jewel to you.
All the above-quoted lakes are longish and stretch from South to North. Lake Como is different – it’s in the shape of an inverted Y, i. e. it looks like ⅄.
Although there are many charming places along the shore waiting for your visit, I’ll introduce those located at the extreme points.
I’m starting with Como at the tip of the lower Western part, continuing with Bellagio at the angular point. Then, I’m going all the way up to the most Northern point which is beautiful Colico. Finally, I return South to the Easternmost point where the town of Lecco is located.
Since coming from Milan, you can reach many places on the lake also by train – at least on the Western shore – your stay can vary from a one-day trip to….a lifetime.
But realistically speaking, depending on your plans, I’d suggest one week.
There are many towns and villages to be visited; given their size, exploring would be an exaggeration. Whereas enjoying is exactly what you will do.
Strolling along narrow streets and alleys while the tastiest ice cream is melting on your tongue. Sipping one of uncountable espressi or latte macchiati in small cafés.
Cooling off in one of the churches.
And having the nicest view of the lake’s deep blue water at every corner.
Como
This is exactly what you can do in Como, the town that generously shares its name with the lake.
How To Get There
Getting to Como is really easy. There are trains from Milan almost by the hour – and they take a bit over an hour.
If you just flew in, you even don’t need to go downtown. You can catch the train right at the Malpensa airport’s train station.
However, not so if you landed at Linate airport.
From there, you have to go first either downtown or by direct shuttle to Malpensa.
Check your connection and all relevant info on Trenitalia’s website.
It’s really good and reliable.
Buon Giorno, Como!
The old part of Como is on the lake and really small.
Besides strolling and shopping and eating and drinking, you can visit smaller museums such as the Museo Civico and the Pinacoteca. However, I would save that for rainy days – and this is coming from me, the biggest art aficionado under the sole.
There are nice buildings to be seen just by walking. For instance, the Duomo, the cathedral. Or the over 1000 years old church San Fedele as well as the over 800 years old Porta Torre, the portal on the historic quarter’s Eastside.

Como’s Ancient Glory
The most alluring attraction, of course, is the lake with its elegant promenade and the harbor where the cruise ferries are waiting for their passengers.
But before we set sail, let’s walk South along the lake where there is the Tempio Voltanio. This neoclassic building from 1927, dedicated to Como-born Alessandro Volta, inventor of the electric battery, is housing a museum.
(Photo: Daniel Case (talk), Tempo Voltiano from southwest, CC BY-SA 3.0)
Keep walking around the lake to get to the Passeggiata di Villa Olmo. This scenic promenade runs between the lake and some of the most beautiful neoclassicist mansions and villas. And at the end, there is the Queen of them all, the Villa Olmo.
For those less culture and arts-oriented folks, there is a Lido, a public swimming pool, a few steps from the Villa Olmo. If it’s too crowded, the tanners and swimmers have to go about 3 kilometers further up to the Lido di Cernobbio. If you don’t feel like walking, there is the bus N6 taking people from Como to Cernobbio.
Where To Stay
Obviously, there are many different lodging options – from a cheap B&B to a luxurious five-star hotel.
I stayed at the B&B Ai tre Leoni*, ten minute’s walk East of the center. It was a nice experience to stay in a non-touristy neighborhood and experience real Italian life.
If you prefer to stay closer to the action, for instance, the Hotel Tre Re* is an excellent option. Located close to the main pier, this building was originally a private residence of the Vitani family. Later, it became a convent and was eventually transformed into an elegant yet affordable hotel.
Brunate
An activity not to be missed when visiting Como is a short ride by funicular uphill to the village of Brunate.
(Photo: Rehman Abubakr, Como-Brunate funicular – June2016, CC BY-SA 4.0)
Brunate is not only a very charming, picturesque village. It also grants the most breathtaking views of Como and the lake.
As soon as you get off the funicular station, you’ll spot the Chiesa Sant’ Andrea Apostolo, first mentioned in the 14th century.
Next to it are many small restaurants and shops.
To get the best view, you have to do a bit of walking. And yes, the trouble with views is that they are uphill.
So let’s go.
Turn right into the small path at the Hotel Vista Lago Brunate and keep walking straight up for about 15 minutes till you get to Chiesa San Maurizio.
Take a Good Look Around
Turn left and keep walking up a forest trail till you get to the Faro Voltiano, the Voltiano tower. Right next to it is the observation deck. And at this point, I won’t disturb you any longer, but let you catch your breath after the walk.
I’m sure it will be taken away by the views, anyway!
If you cannot part and want to spend the night in Brunate, the Hotel Vista Lago* is your best option….I mean, the name says it all, doesn’t it?!
Crossing the Lake
Although you could move around in buses and on the eastern shore even by train, one of the nicest and unmissable things to do when vacationing by a lake is – going on the lake. Of course, by boat.
There are various options like cruises with stops at various places – albeit, only during the high season starting end of May. Also, there are trips between towns.
On this website, you can check hours and prices. On the one hand, it’s pretty informative, telling you facts about the lake’s length and depth and suggesting attractions in the different villages. On the other hand, though, it’s a bit misleading. There is for instance written that going from Como to Colico takes four hours.
Are We There Yet?
Therefore, once aboard, I made myself comfortable, took out my book and my phone, and my water, expecting to relax for the next four hours. Well, after about two hours, the boat docked at…Colico! Thus, I had to jump and quickly pack all my stuff to hop off board before the ride continued.
Hence, it took about two hours.
So I suggest you use their page for getting a rough idea of where to go and what to do.
Once you’re there, you walk to the pier well ahead of your trip and ask the people selling the tickets what your options are. If you are in Como only for one day, you just go to the pier when you please since you won’t have too many choices, anyways.
Don’t worry, you’ll certainly be able to go on a boat trip – and you won’t regret it, it’s dreamy…just ask George.
Bellagio
One of the most picturesque – and also most visited – places on the lake is Bellagio, located at the angular point of the lake’s ⅄.
(Photo: RiccardoT, Bellagio dal traghetto – panoramio, CC BY 3.0)
It’s amusing and relaxing to stroll up and down the lakefront promenade or take a drink at one of the cafés overlooking the lake. And, of course, watching people walk by.
(Photo: RaminusFalcon, ChiesaSanGiacomo, CC BY-SA 3.0)
After this break, it’s time to hike up to the historic center which is located at a higher level.
Up here, the main attraction is definitely the Romanesque Basilica Of San Giacomo.
Needless to say that at Bellagio, too, there are some ancient aristocratic villas.
Bellagio’s Villas
One of the most impressive ones is certainly Villa Serbelloni. Built as a castle, it eventually became a country residence and was transformed into a villa at the end of the 15th century. Only in the 19th century, the structures were remodeled into a hotel. Today, it also serves as a venue for conventions and study tours. Its impressive park stretches all over the town’s promontory from where you have a grand view of the lake’s two branches.
(Photo: trolvag, Villa Serbelloni, Bellagio, Como, Lombardia, Italy – panoramio, CC BY-SA 3.0)
Another imposing, Neo-classical building is the Villa Melzi. It was built in the early 19th century for Count Francesco Melzi, then vice-president and Chancellor of the Kingdom of Italy.
(Photo: Paebi, Bellagio Villa Melzi, CC BY-SA 3.0)
Besides those two jewels, you shouldn’t miss the other modest housing like Villa Trivulzio. It was built in the 18th century and is located in a grand English-style park. Or Villa Trotti, built in an eclectic neo-Gothic style, adorned with Moorish decorations.
Yes, there is definitely a reason why especially during the Summer the streets and alleys of Bellagio are pretty busy.
If you choose to stay in Bellagio overnight and just found a diamond mine then you might consider treating yourself to a night at the Villa Serbelloni*.
All those who are currently not rich can stay for instance at the also very posh Hotel Du Lac*, located right across the pier, overlooking the lake.
Colico
Hidden all the way in the North, Colico is probably the most relaxed place on Lake Como.
Actually, the village of Colico is much less picturesque and posh than the other places. However, it’s totally worth the visit for the serene, beautiful surroundings where you can hike and cycle for hours.
An Italian Vacation
Then, once back in town, you can stroll along the promenade. Relax for a while on a bench and just lay your eyes on the majestic mountains in the backdrop of the green-blue lake where colorful sails move indolently across the still waters. VACATION!
Colico is also the best place to take a dip in the lake since it has some natural beaches. At the other places, you have to go to a Lido which is nice, but also a bit costly.
Here in Colico you just look for a place on the grass under a big tree, take out your book – or take a nap. On the northern shore, there is even a stretch of sandy beach in front of the meadow. But since there the water is easily accessible, that’s where all the families are staying. Hence, it’s packed and noisy and you might get hit on the head by a ball.
Eating, Resting, Shopping
Right in front of the pier are a couple of restaurants and an ice cream parlor. Obviously, it’s nice and very Italian to hang out here, especially in the early evening when it’s Aperitivo-time.
Order a nice drink like an Aperol Spritz and they will give you a plate full of niblets with it – that’s Italia!
If you are still hungry, you can order – who would have guessed? – a pizza that is really good and – considering the location – quite reasonably priced.
Sunday is the grand market day in Colico. There are stalls along the Via Nazionale from the train station all the way into town. It’s not at all touristy, it’s rather like an open-air department store. They are selling household appliances and underwear, tools and Italian leather goods, jeans, and sweets.
Accommodations in Colico range from a campground with beach access to upper-middle-class hotels in the town center.
Hotel Risi* is located right on the shore and their comfortable rooms are reasonably priced.
Lecco
It might be easier to just keep travelling by boat from Colico. While during high season, that’s a great option, till the end of May it’s basically impossible.
Ooops, does this mean you get stuck there?
Even though it wouldn’t be the worst place to get stuck, there’s no need to worry.
There are regional trains going from Colico i. a. to Milano by the hour.
Also, they do stop in Lecco, which is good since this southernmost point of the lake’s Eastern leg is absolutely worth a visit.
(Photo: Giovanni Marinelli, View of Lake Como from Lecco, CC BY-SA 3.0)
Lecco has almost 50,000 inhabitants which is a little over half of Como’s population.
However, Lecco deems less dreamy.
Palazzi
Albeit, at the historic center, are some sober yet elegant buildings from the 18th century. This Neo-Classical style from the era of the Viscounts dominates the architecture of all of the Lombardian settlements around Lake Como.
(Photo: No machine-readable author provided. GôTô assumed (based on copyright claims)., Lecco-4-16-04-2006, CC BY-SA 3.0)
Among these ancient palazzi, Palazzo Belgioioso, built in the 18th century, is one of the most impressive. Today, it houses the municipal museums.
Another one is Villa Manzoni. This mansion belonged to poet Alessandro Manzoni’s family until 1818. Manzoni spent periods of his infancy and youth at this house. Today, it is communal property.
(Photo: https://www.flickr.com/photos/renaud-camus/ Renaud Camus, Villa Manzoni, CC BY 2.0)
Since it’s only 50 kilometers from Lecco to Milan, I don’t assume that you will spend the night there. But if you choose so, Hotel Alberi* is a good, comfortable, and relaxed option

This whole northern region of Italy is still on our travel wish list. I love the views of the mountains and lakes. But the small towns would let me enjoy life as a bit of a local. It would be great to find a spot like Brunate with it panoramic viewpoint over the Como area. Good to know you can move around the lake by bus, boat and in some places by train. Maybe go one way and come back another. If I find a diamond mine I would definitely want to spend a night at Bella Serbelloni! It would be hard to visit just one of the charming spots in this region. So we will plan enough time to visit them all!
Hahaha – if I find a diamond mine, the search on a thousand websites for the best deal will certainly be over ?
I can’t believe I’ve still never been to the Italian lakes…any of them! But reading this & seeing your beautiful photos makes me believe I need to start making a plan. I love your comment that it’s less about ‘exploring’ & more about ‘enjoying’ the towns in Como. Think you & George may be on to something 😉
During this pandemic I have been missing Italy so much, I really cant wait to go back! The food, the wine, the sights… yeah, all of Italy!
I have never been to Lake Como, and I have always wanted to go, I do think its time to start planning a future trip 🙂
Wow… This piece is so detailed and informative,, bookmarking right away. Can’t wait for the situation to become better and travel again.
This so makes me want to hop onto a plane and head over to Italy right now those ancient architecture looks amazing???
I solo traveled northern Italy for two weeks in 2018 and I’m still so angry at myself for not going to Lake Como! Your pictures and story are definitely making me so upset with myself right now! I had no idea that Bellagio was one of the most traveled places on the lake, when I go back in 2021 or 2022 I will have to go visit!
These are such great recommendations! Did you feel seasick at all on the ride? On California oceans my body sabotages me haha!
I’ve heard great things about Lake Como and your post makes me want to visit even more.
Apart from food, I didn’t realize that Italy is really a good place to go. Thanks for the virtual tour!
Wonderful post! Como sounds like an amazing place to visit. I’ve never been 5o Italy, but hope to visit someday.
Gosh this looks absolutely picturesque! I’ve been to Italy once but only time, Venice and Florence. Next visit I definitely need to head to Lake Como. Thanks for the great detailed article.
Hi! We’ve spent 6 days from 30 august to 5 september at Lake Como and our apartman was in Argegno We’ve felt and experienced the same about this small, but very kind village.Just one thing is missing from this post. There is a boat hiring opporunity in Argegno, almost opposite of the cable car. It’s worth to hire a boat 2-4 hours. You don’t need any driving licence and the hosts are very kind Above all thanks for the post, i would like to go back!
This place looks so incredable and I love and beautiful view How I wish I will go there someday cross-fingers awesome photos!
I know you had fun here. Those pictures are really inviting, it makes me wanna be there, it’s really interesting. The views, the people and the whole place.
I’ve never been to Italy but wow, your pictures make me want to visit!
Wow. Very comprehensive feature. Looks like an amazing picturesque place and that funicular railway is huge.
I love freshwater lakes! This one looks oh so fabulously beautiful. I hope to actually get there someday!! 🙂
You and George Clooney…. LOL! Have always wanted to visit Lake Como in all its splendor! But wasn't sure if it my daughter would be interested so waiting for her to grow up a little. although we would eat non stop! Is it too hot in the summertime?
Last summer, we went to Lake Como and we actually fell in love with it. The best thing was that it has a culture to showcase which I feel Italy has preserved in most of the cities. Loved the pics you've shared. 🙂
Thank you – glad you like them, especially since you are a 'connaiseur' 😉
Great article. I have been to Italy twice in the past, once to Venice and once to Naples and from this Como looks even better than both of those! I should take a trip as I have very cheap flights to Milan from where I am now.
Being in Milan, you can easily spend just the day….and be back in time for the Aperitivo 😉
Lake Como looks absolutely stunning I am dying to go but so expensive.
What a dreamy and romantic place! I also love your photographs 🙂
You are making us inspired to take vacation soon!
This was exactly my intention – have a wonderful summer, Blair!
Your pictures have definitely geared me up for my next vacation. The lake looks so surreal and breathtaking that I want to visit it right away 🙂
Yes, Sayanti, it's the season ?
Lake Como looks pretty amazing. I love old world places like this rich in culture, beauty, and have amazing architectural structures. I would love to visit there sometime.
It's the combination of natural and men made wonders ?
Italy is on my bucket list for a while and lake Como seems like a truly stunning summer destination, Renata! Is it allowed to swim in the lake?
HI Lydia, yes it is. Wherever you find access to the water. They have a couple of facilities called 'Lido' – and in Colico they have beaches – more grass than sand, though.
Seems like a perfect holiday destination. 🙂
Yes, it just screams VACATION…?
Lake Como is my favorite destination in Italy. I loved your sunny pictures of Lake Como as it looks very bright and cheery. I went to Lake Como in winters, so it was all snowy but then also it was looking like fairy land. Lake Bellagio is also the stunning spot of this area. Ferrying around the lake and visiting top celebs' summer houses is great thing to do here.
Yes, I can imagine that the mountains are grand in the snow. Well, once a great destination, always a great destination, righ?!?
Thanks a for practical tips for Lago di Como, I just visited Lago di Garda and this one even seems more stunning. Otherwise Clooney and you would not picked it, right! I will make sure to use the ferry to get around, as you said, its the best.
Lago di Garda is nice, too. I prefer Como since it's smaller, so the beauty feels more 'compact'.?
Lovely post! We loved our visit to Lake Como and would love to go again some day! Northern Italy is definitely our favourite region to travel around, it's just so beautiful!
Actually, I love every cardinal direction when it comes to Italy. Have a summer full of great roaming ?
Both George Clooney and you have excellent taste! I would love to visit Como. Looks so pretty! A relaxed trip to Colico is exactly what I need after the hectic last few weeks.
It's a perfect break. Have a relaxed Summer ?♀️?♂️
I'm dying to visit Italy! Lake como isn't really on my list but after seeing your photos I might have to check it out. Is it expensive to travel there though?
Ah Italy has ALWAYS been on my bucketlist ever since I was little. You have just made me want to go even more now! I love the look of Lake Como, it looks so serene and beautiful and you describe it beautifully
This lakeside city is so beautiful and serene. I love how Como is by the lake. I love such set ups. It's a place where I can raise my daughters.
I have always wanted to go to Lake Como. I heard it's one of the most beautiful places. I think the pictures that you shared are breathtaking!
It is just gorgeous – it did me so good just looking at these beautiful surroundings ?♀️
Reading your post makes me want to go to Como right now! Thank you for highlighting Brunate. It seems fun to take the funicular all the way to the top. The views from above must be gorgeous!
Going up to Brunate was not only perfect for some of the best views – it's just very nice.
Wow this looks like a beautiful amazing adventure �� I am also loving all the info on how to get to places and bout the tourist attractions too! So helpful
such a nice place, i would go there and its my dream. Very soon me too going for same trip and enjoy like you. Thanks for sharing good trip experience.
Como looks such a beautiful place with all the blue waters, beautiful buildings and the Lake. I love the grand architecture of Bellagio. Would love to visit here whenever opportunity strikes.
Ahh if there's one place I could go back to over and over, it would hands-down be Lake Como! I stayed in Bellagio (actually at Hotel du Lac!) and explored Mennagio and Varenna when I was there. Great guide.
Wow, that sounds really grand!
Oh my! what lovely photos you have there! I hope I can visit Italy one day. Your photos are just inviting!
Actually, this place makes it easy to take wonderful pictures – you simply have to push the button
Though I am not fond of water much, your post has comvinced me to visit this place ❤❤
You're not fond of water?! But there are mountains and trails around the lake, too ?
Oh wow I would LOVE to go to Italy and Lake Como is up there on my list! What beautiful photos and this has made me even more desperate to go!
Hmm. I was thinking that there is an endless amount of things to explore in Italy and it is partly true. Now, when i traveled there well, most of places look the same to me. I kinda liked Lecco, for its mountains though 🙂
I agree when it comes to small towns and villages – but for instance Milan is sooo different from other cities. However, even if many places look similar (=beautiful), I love them all! The art, the architecture, the language, the food…it simply opens my heart!
I've never been to italy would love love to go! I really like places where their is mixture of everything I love the peaceful views of the lake, but it's nice that their are places you can go and visit the pictures look lovely.
Patrice Boothe x
To be honest I love Italy. I love visiting that country. Your pictures are very well clicked. And the way you have described it is great..
I went to lake Como many years before and thought it was stunning. I would love to return to the Lakes one day they are so beautiful!
I LOVE Italy! It is one of my favourite places on earth! I go at least once a year. I have extremely fond memories from a solo adventure around Lago Maggiore! It is one of the most beautiful places I've ever been! Great post!
Thank you, seems we are having the same soft spot for Bella Italia 😉
Como is definitely one of my favorite places in Italy, I'm in love with that lake since I was there for the first time. I would like to go back, you brought me some good memories, thanks for that! 🙂
Have you been to Lugano (Swiss) it's half an hour or hour from Como and it's really nice 😀
No, haven't been to Lugano. I believe that it must be very nice – but probably it will be more expensive than the Italian lakes since in Switzerland, you do pay a high price for all that beauty ?
I love Italy, and have always wanted to visit Lake Como. It's so beautiful, and the fact that George Clooney is obsessed with it is enough reason for me!
Yes, he is a great testimonial ?
Visited Italy three times but I have not been enthused by its lakes. I guess George Clooney saw what you saw, too. Looks like a great place to live.
To be honest, I've always been an Ocean-kinda-person, but since I had only a couple of days before my Italian class in Milan, I bit the bullet and went to Como….and what can I say: mesmerizing!
I love destinations like this where you get the best mix of everything – culture, food, the outdoors. Como looks so beautiful and this post reminds me I still need to visit it on another trip back to Italy!
I'm going back only next year – alas…
We stayed in Como and visited Brunate and Bellagio back in 2015. It was so beautiful…we absolutely loved it! Your pictures and content really brought me back. Thanks for sharing. (We were hoping to couchsurf at George and Amal, but alas, they stood us up. 🙂 )
Hahahaha, same here – I would have volunteered in house-sitting, but….
Italy is SO beautiful. I'm torn between going to the Pyrenees or somewhere in Italy later this year… maybe you've convinced me to check out Lake Como.
There are various lakes really close to each other in that area, so I would give it a shot 😀
You have nicely detailed what to see in the area of Lake Como and around. Italy is pretty. I would love to spend some time in the lake followed by strolling by the Passeggiata di Villa Olmo – I found the promenade really lovely. Thanks for the share.
Thank you, I'm glad you like it!
I've been to Italy but can't believe I missed this beauty! I guess I will just have to go back 🙂
Yeah, well, it's hidden all the way up in the North…I went there by pure incident on my way to Milan, though.
It’s one of my favorite places in Italy! It is just so pretty and I love the drop of the mountains as well. Love your pictures!!
So gorgeous! I have heard that Lake Como isn't really a budget destination. How true is that?
According to my experience as part of the poverty jet set (thanx for this one, Douglas Coupland), you can find reasonably priced accommodation and food basically everywhere (Switzerland and Scandinavia are challenge, but even there I survived). You might have to compromise: When I was in Como, I didn't stay in the center, but at a small B&B about a fifteen minute walk from the lake. Same in Colico.
Wow the photos are stunning! Definitely a lake I would love to like & go to someday!
Lake Como makes it really easy to take nice pictures….but thanks so much!
I didn't know you could reach Lake Como so easily via train from Milan. I haven't been to this region of Italy in many years, but it has been high on my list of places to visit.
There are trains by the hour and it takes about 90 minutes. Really a piece of cake (an ice-cake that is, of course, made of gelato ?
Thanks for the wonderful post! I've never been to Como but i've been told it's amazing! I really need to get to Italy!
You are very welcome – I wish you buon viaggio once you go!
Como always strikes me as being the hangout for filmstars so I am not surprised about George Clooney! Isn't that Cathedral wonderful – it's charming!
Actually the tourist crowd was very mixed – lots of local day trippers, lots of cyclists (especially around Colico). It's very, very pleasant
Italy is our fav country to visit! We haven't made it to Lake Como area yet but it's definitely on our bucket list. We hear really great things about it! Didn't know George Clooney lived there! Museo Civico would definitely be a place we'd want to visit because we love learning about history!
Italy fav country?! Same here! I don't know whether Clooney really lives there, but he has a villa there. If he ever needs a house-sitter, I'd volunteer ?
