Lake<br />

Como<br />

Turin<br />

Milan<br />

Verona<br />

With dramatic mountains <strong>and</strong> inkblue<br />

waters, Lake Como may be<br />

the most spectacular of the Italian<br />

lakes. The third largest, it offers<br />

visitors more than its fair share of<br />

charming lakeside towns, <strong>and</strong> is<br />

closest to fashion capital Milan.<br />

Como is the lake’s vibrant capital.<br />

There are plenty of boutiques <strong>and</strong><br />

medieval sites here. Head further<br />

north <strong>and</strong> the towns get smaller<br />

<strong>and</strong> more untouched. Bellagio<br />

has a good mix of historic streets<br />

filled with enotecas (wine shops)<br />

<strong>and</strong> cafés, plus great transport<br />

links to other towns. Situated just<br />

across from Bellagio is Tremezzo<br />

– a pretty town filled with lush<br />

villa gardens <strong>and</strong> fantastic gelato<br />

parlours.<br />

There are plenty of places to visit<br />

along the lake’s edge, <strong>and</strong> because<br />

of its size, hiring a car <strong>and</strong> hopping<br />

between towns is a popular way to<br />

see it all.<br />

Iulia Robe, Italy Expert<br />

"There's a lovely local restaurant in<br />

the centre of Bellagio called Bistrot<br />

Antichi Sapori – their potato soufflé<br />

is amazing!"<br />
