TIPS
We recommend dedicating a day to visiting the wonderful towns around the lake. While Como is the urban center of the area, the towns are pearls with beautiful villas on the lake.
When moving around and walking along Lake Como, especially in small towns, it is advisable to wear comfortable shoes.
There are many public drinking fountains in the area, and the water is safe to drink unless indicated otherwise. Tap water is also drinkable. You can bring your reusable water bottle!
If you're looking for a relatively easy hike in the area and still want to enjoy mountain views, the Greenway of Lake Como is an easy-to-follow trail that connects the lake towns from Colonno to Griante and doesn't require too many climbs. A bus will take you to the starting point in Colonno.
Look for traditional restaurants to taste local dishes, such as those based on Lake Como fish.
In Italy, many shops (especially small ones) and services are closed in the middle of the day, so make sure to plan your shopping accordingly.
Lake Como is one of the deepest lakes in Europe and the deepest in Italy. Swimming and diving are prohibited in many areas and can be dangerous. However, for those who want to take a dip in the water, there are some options. In Como, there is an outdoor pool near Villa Olmo, but swimming in the lake is strongly discouraged and mostly prohibited. There are beaches in other locations along the lake shores. A beautiful beach is located in Careno, but it could be crowded on weekends. Residents and visitors also enjoy going to Nesso, where the bravest swimmers can dive into the lake from the ancient Roman bridge near the waterfall.
The Lido di Bellagio and the beach of San Giovanni await those who want to explore the beautiful town of Bellagio, located in the center of the two branches of the lake.
Lake Como is located in a mountainous region. The surrounding Prealps may not seem very high, but the climate is still influenced by the nearby mountains, and temperatures can change rapidly. Pay particular attention to weather conditions during hikes and bring warm and waterproof clothing!
