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 />
