Out and About in Lake Como

Start in Como, the lake's namesake town. An impressive cathedral will welcome you to the town's historic streets, where you can marvel at Gothic and Renaissance architecture. Take the cable car into the hills above Como and you'll be rewarded with the most splendid panorama in the area. Hikers should spend a day in Lecco and admire the fjord-like features of the lake's eastern end from the mountains above. If you're circumnavigating the lake, be sure to stop in Bellagio. This whimsical village sits atop a promontory jutting into the lake where it splits into two branches, and it boasts two brilliant gardens at Villa Serbelloni and Villa Melzi.

Eating and Drinking

Like all Italian cuisine, Lake Como gastronomy is centered around locally-produced products. Sample local cheeses and freshly-caught fish. The towns scattered around the lake all possess plenty of delicious options, but often the best food can be found on the side streets in little-known establishments. If you're looking to sample wine and beer, Bellagio offers the best selection of bars.
