Nestled on the Mediterranean and just a short distance from Milan lies Lake Como, one of the most private and tranquil areas of Italy. If there’s one thing Lake Como is known for, it’s the view. Three lakes converge to connect Lake Como to the towns of Bellagio, Tremezzo, Menaggio and Varenna. All four towns can be accessed by boats and buses and travelers vacationing in Lake Como are urged to find time to explore the other towns. Whether you’re staying in Lake Como or visiting one of the surrounding towns, you’ll find each town packed full of cultural sites and lined with breathtaking scenery.
Known locally as Lago di Como, travelers vacationing in Lake Como are generally looking for a quiet escape from the hustle and bustle of Europe’s bigger cities. Flights to Lake Como arrive in Milan where tourists can take buses or cars to their respective villa rentals or hotels. Renowned for its exquisite villas and secluded location, it’s no wonder Lake Como is a favorite spot for celebrities. George Clooney, Matt Damon, Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie are just a few of the Hollywood A-listers who retreat in Lake Como. After some rest and relaxation, take a walk into Lake Como’s town center and visit Old Town, where centuries-old buildings sit within the walled town and views of the lake are picturesque. For those travelers flying to Lake Como during the week, an outdoor market takes place every Tuesday and Thursday morning, and all day on Sunday.

- After the Lake Como flight to Milan, forget about air travel and do as the locals do: travel by boat. Purchase a boat pass in Como and take a boat trip round the lake for stops in various towns surrounding Lake Como. It is a wonderful journey with the mountains that surround the lake always in sight.
- Visit Bellagio, which has been touted the prettiest village in Europe. Its cobble-stoned streets add to the ambience of this little town and arriving by boat only enhances the experience. All the restaurants are welcoming whether you are looking for simple pasta and pizza dishes or something more elegant.
- Climb up to Mount Bregagno for a breath-taking view. The hike takes about one and a half hours from Breglia (on the western side of Lake Como) just above Menaggio.
