Lake Como is one of the most beautiful destinations in Lombardy, with steep mountains dropping straight into the water and villages tucked along the shore. Each town on Lake Como has its own personality, with some easy to reach by train and ferry, and others feeling more remote.
Bellagio – best for first‑timers and classic Lake Como views; Varenna – best for train access from Milan; Menaggio – best for families and lakeside walks; Tremezzo – best for villas and gardens; Cernobbio – best for luxury stays near Como and Switzerland; Brienno – best for quiet, authentic atmosphere; Palanzo – best for medieval charm and mountain hikes; Nesso – best for waterfalls and photography.
