Lake Como

The view was breathtaking and spectacular.
1 hour boat ride was quite awesome to enjoy the beauty and the sights. It was a memorable and beautiful experience. There is a lot to experience in Lake Como. One can find variety of restaurants, souvenir shops and also walk around picturesque areas.

One of the highlights of the trip was passing by the elegant villas that dot the shoreline. Each one seemed more luxurious than the last, with their colorful facades and lush gardens adding to the charm of the surroundings. I couldn't help but imagine what life must be like for the fortunate few who call these magnificent properties home. I would have liked to have a guide to provide us with fascinating insights into the history and culture of Lake Como ( we found them online). Whether you're a nature lover, a history buff, or simply someone in search of a peaceful escape, I can't recommend it highly enough. Trust me, you won't be disappointed. You feel connected with the nature around you and with yourself as you watch the shows of lights given by the sun, the birds swimming and the life murmur on the shore.

Lake Como is extremely beautiful. The camera cannot capture the real beauty, the water color and tree color specifically in the fall season is amazing. Wear comfy shoes if you have plan to walk. Fairy is a good option to explore. Definitely want to come again.

The water shines like diamonds and pearls. A Beautiful lake surrounded by little restaurants and couples walking enjoying some romance. We ate some gelato and pizza. Flying my drone to experience and capture the beauty of all the homes up against the mountainside. Molto bene.

1.5 hours drive from Milan. Beautiful scenery and drive.
If you are driving make sure you leave well in advance because it gets busier.
Try to travel 3 must villages and if you are driving do not drive from one village to another always take fairy. It’s easy and short otherwise you will end up having difficulty uphill sharp turns.

I wanna go again and again this part of Italy

Nothing to say, Como's lake is simply it.
Walking around it feels just like you're in a movie, it's the colors,the air, the vibes you get staying there..a must see once in a lifetime

This whole place looks like from a fairytale. Amazing views, beautiful lake with mountains all around. The building and all architecture is very traditional, lets say very italian. It makes you feel like in dream really. The food in restaurants though is quite expensive.

This spectacular lake is both serene and surrounded by amazing little towns and villas all the way through to Como City at the southern tip of this inverted Y- shaped very picturesque lake. It’s also surrounded by lush green mountains. We took the boat ride from Bellagio to Como city in this leg, where all these pictures were shot from. We started off with a thunderstorm that subsided quick and then it was a lovely and calm and relaxing boat ride all the way through. One must definitely take a cruise along this lake to get a good perspective of this beautiful lake and wonders of nature surrounding this place.

It was great to see this beautiful lake and the luxurious villas

From the moment I arrived at this place, I was captivated by its breathtaking beauty. The shimmering lake, reflecting the majestic mountains that towered above, created a postcard-perfect scene. Every angle provided a new, picturesque view, as if nature itself had carefully curated each frame. The serenity of the water, contrasted by the imposing presence of the mountains, offers a tranquil retreat for anyone looking to escape the hustle.

Amazing peaceful place, shame I only went for a day, I could spend a few days exploring

one of the most beautiful lakes in the world. the views are breathtaking and there are many shop and pretty small towns..

Beautiful lake near Milan, in the border between Italy and Switzerland. Absolutely stunning views: mountains, pinturesque little towns, the Alps... We took a boat that gets you close to the most famous villas and then took us to Bellagio.

Lake como was absolutely amazing. We stopped at Varenna from Milan and took the station. The tickets were reasonably priced, around £22 (€24) for 2 people and took 50-55 mins to get there.
Varenna I’d definitely recommend stopping at as you can get to Menaggio and Bellagio via Ferry by purchasing the Middle Lake Pass which is €30 for 2 people.
The view was amazing in all 3 locations. 10/10

Very beatiful lake, we had a boat tour for one hour
