2025 Como Travel Guide: Must-see attractions, popular food, hotels, transportation routes (updated in July)

#postandearn 📍Lake Como, Italy One day, four towns—Lake Como is a dream come true! Here’s how we explored Como, Bellagio, Menaggio, and Varenna in a single (magical) day. ☀️ Morning in Como We kicked off in Como with espresso and a visit to the Duomo, followed by a fun ride up the funicular to Brunate. The view? Picture-perfect lake panoramas! 🚤 Ferry to Bellagio The mid-morning ferry ride north was a highlight itself—villa views and calm blue waters. Bellagio greeted us with charming alleys, boutique shops, and a lakeside lunch of fresh pasta and white wine. 🍨 Laid-back Menaggio Next up: Menaggio. Slower-paced, with a beautiful promenade and cozy town square. We cooled off with gelato while soaking in the sunshine. 🌅 Sunset in Varenna Our final stop was romantic Varenna, with pastel buildings and a peaceful vibe. We hiked up to Castello di Vezio just in time for a sunset that lit up the lake—truly unforgettable. ⸻ Quick Tips: 🚢 Buy a ferry day pass to hop between towns easily 🎟️ Visit in the shoulder season (spring or early fall) for smaller crowds. 📷 Morning and sunset = best light for photos 🍷 Eat local—lake fish, fresh pasta, and a glass of wine are a must! #tripmoments #lakecomo

There is a table by Lake Como in Italy, the most beautiful table||There is a table by Lake Como in Italy, the most beautiful table, and of course, there must be a boat. Lake Como (Italian: Lago di Como) is a glacial lake in the Lombardy region of Italy. It covers an area of 146 square kilometers, making it the third largest lake in Italy after Lake Garda and Lake Maggiore. The lake is over 400 meters deep, making it the fifth deepest lake in Europe, or the deepest lake in Europe outside of Norway. The lake bottom is 227 meters below sea level. The lake is particularly notable for its three-pronged (Y-shaped) shape. Lake Como has been a favorite vacation destination for nobles and wealthy people since the Roman Empire, and it also has many artistic and cultural treasures to attract tourists. The shores of the lake are home to many villas and palaces, including Villa Olmo, Villa Serbelloni, and Villa Carlotta. Many celebrities, including George Clooney, Madonna, and Donatella Versace, have owned homes by the lake. In 2014, the Huffington Post named it the most beautiful lake in the world for its microclimate and its environment with prestigious villas and villages.

#europetrip #italy #como Visiting Como Cathedral (Duomo di Como) is a journey into the heart of Italian Gothic and Renaissance architecture. Situated in the charming lakeside city of Como, the cathedral is one of the most significant churches in northern Italy. Construction began in 1396 and spanned over three centuries, resulting in a stunning blend of Gothic, Renaissance, and Baroque elements. The façade, with its intricate sculptures and rose windows, is a masterpiece of Gothic artistry, while the interior features grand columns, ornate frescoes, and an impressive collection of tapestries from the 16th and 17th centuries. The cathedral also houses precious artworks, including a magnificent altar and paintings by Bernardino Luini, a pupil of Leonardo da Vinci. Its location near Lake Como adds to the experience, offering visitors breathtaking views and a serene atmosphere that perfectly complements the historical grandeur of this architectural gem.

#europetrip #italy #como While many tourists head straight to Bellagio or other popular areas, the town of Como itself is a hidden gem worth exploring. We spent two delightful days strolling through this charming lakeside town, discovering its rich history and serene beauty. Highlights include visiting the impressive Como Cathedral (Duomo di Como), admiring the elegant Villa Olmo, and wandering the picturesque Piazza San Fedele. A leisurely walk along the lakefront promenade offered stunning views of the shimmering lake, especially during sunny autumn days when the vibrant foliage added a magical touch. Como’s tranquil atmosphere and captivating scenery left a lasting impression.

Location: 5.0 Service: 5.0 Health: 5.0 Facilities: 5.0 It's another set of pictures with a huge amount of information. Unfortunately, no one took pictures for me. Fortunately, I have a pair of skillful hands. Como is the most beautiful small city on the edge of Milan, and many people like it entirely because of Lake Como. It's hard to find a hotel with a view of the lake. Fortunately, people who love to laugh are not unlucky, so I stayed in Small this time. Opposite the room is the lake, and pedestrians flow through the feet. It seems that you suddenly understand Bian Zhilin's mood. You stand on the bridge and watch the scenery, and the scenery is watching you upstairs. The bright moon decorates your windows, and you decorate other people's dreams. #100WaysOfTravel #solotravel

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~

Sweeping friends circle, Lake Como tour guide, stay at Vista Palazzo About Lake Como Lake Como is a world-famous scenic leisure resort and also a famous scenic spot in Italy. There are a lot of villas with historical value and architectural value on the lakeside of Lake Como. The lenno villa, built by the famous designer Ciacomo Mantegazza in 1926, once competed for the F1 car Schumacher and Brad Pitt, Kevin Costner and Bruce Springsteen. Its really because of these unique buildings, and its one of the reasons why many people come here to punch cards. Climate Como Lake is connected to the Alps. Many places on the shore are cliffs. It is said that you can ski there all the year round. It is quite cold this season, so remember I wear more clothes. Anyway, when I went out, I had already taken the thick coats. After all, it would be quite troublesome to get sick abroad. You can go to Milan first, then buy tickets from Milan's central railway station to Como town, or you can come directly from the airport, the nearest one should be Lugano airport. Attractions There are a lot of attractions to visit, such as Como Cathedral, Vodafone Museum, Villa Olmo, etc. It is very worthwhile to check in, right and there is Lake Center Island, don't miss it. Accommodation This time I lived in Vista Palazzo, a lakeside hotel. When I stayed, I was still very small. The whole hotel can be seen in Lake Como, using a very elegant and stylish decoration style. The most important thing is that it is very close to the train station, about 1 km away. There is a cafeteria on the top floor of the hotel. Although it is not big, it is enough to enjoy. You can enjoy breakfast here while enjoying the scenery. And the staff of the hotel is still very enthusiastic, because it is a relationship with people? ! Everyone can enjoy a very good service.

Sophie's Italian travel notes Como, half an hour's drive from Milan, Italy, has an ancient church overlooking Lake Como on the Swiss border. Of course, the most attractive thing is food. The Italian restaurant El Sombrero, which was brought to the locals, was far from the sights, and many locals were there. 10 Europe's Qingkou and Huajia platter is both a starter, but the serving size is like a staple food. Add the white wine and garlic to cook, light and sweet, if it can be better with white wine. Seafood angel noodles, noodles cooked thoroughly, not too hard to hurt the stomach, absorbing the rich sauce, is a good spaghetti I have eaten in Italy. and dessert, butter pudding and tiramisu, each serving 5 euros, the size is large, simply win the quality and price of domestic dessert stores, only hate their appetite is not big enough, can not eat a few copies at a time.

#summerbudgettrip Think Lake Como is only for A-listers and luxury villas? Think again! You can soak in the views, charm, and dolce vita without spending like George Clooney. Here’s how to enjoy Lake Como on a backpacker’s budget with first-class vibes. 🏞️ Best Free or Cheap Things To Do 🏘️ Explore picturesque towns like Varenna, Bellagio, and Menaggio by foot. Wandering the narrow alleys and waterfront promenades is totally free — and 100% magical. 🚶♀️ Hike the Greenway del Lago di Como — a scenic 10km trail through villages, gardens, and villas with unbeatable views (no ticket needed). ⛪ Visit free historic spots like Villa Olmo gardens (Como town) and charming churches scattered across the lakeside. 🏖️ Public beaches like Lido di Lenno, Spiaggia di Lierna, or Bellagio’s free pebble beach are perfect for swimming or lounging with your own picnic. 🚤 Transportation Tips ⛴️ Take ferries, not taxis — The public ferry system connects the main towns affordably. Buy a day pass for unlimited travel (cheaper than individual tickets if you’re town-hopping). 🚆 Train from Milan to Como or Varenna is quick, scenic, and budget-friendly (under €5–€8 one-way!). 🚶♂️ Walk or use local buses between smaller towns — much cheaper than driving or private tours. 🍝 Eat & Drink on a Budget 🍕 Grab slices or panini from local bakeries and cafés instead of dining at lakeside restaurants. 🧺 Have a picnic by the lake — pick up prosciutto, cheese, and fruit from markets. 🥤 Avoid tourist traps — walk a few blocks away from the water to find affordable trattorias. 💧 Bring a refillable bottle — Italy has clean, free public fountains (look for “Acqua Potabile”). 🛏️ Where to Stay (Budget Picks) 🛌 Hostels in Como and Menaggio offer budget beds with views (check Lake Como Hostel “La Primula”). 🏡 Budget B&Bs or guesthouses in towns like Dervio, Lecco, or Colico can be cheaper than Bellagio or Varenna. 🧳 Stay in Milan and take a day trip to Como — especially if accommodations are full or overpriced during high summer.

Fabulous day out to como.
