TIPS

We recommend dedicating a day to visiting the wonderful towns around the lake. Como city is the urban center of the area, but the small towns are gems with beautiful lakeside villas. When moving around and walking along Lake Como, especially in the small towns, comfortable shoes are essential. There are many public drinking fountains in the area, and the water is safe to drink unless otherwise indicated. Tap water is also potable. You can bring your reusable bottle! If you are looking for a relatively easy hike in the area and still want to enjoy mountain views, the Greenway del Lago di Como is an easy-to-follow trail that connects the lake towns from Colonno to Griante and does not require too much climbing. A bus will take you to the starting point in Colonno. Look for traditional restaurants to taste local dishes, such as those based on fish from Lake Como. In Italy, many shops (especially small ones) and services close in the middle of the day, so be sure to plan your purchases accordingly. Lake Como is one of the deepest lakes in Europe and the deepest in Italy. Swimming and diving are prohibited in many areas and can be dangerous. However, for those who wish to dive into the water, there are some options. In Como, there is an outdoor pool near Villa Olmo, but swimming in the lake is strongly discouraged and mostly prohibited. There are beaches in other locations along the lake shores. A nice beach can be found in Careno, but it may be crowded on weekends. Locals and visitors also love to go to Nesso, where the most adventurous swimmers can dive into the lake from the ancient Roman bridge near the waterfall. The Lido di Bellagio and the beach of San Giovanni await those who want to explore the beautiful town of Bellagio, located at the center of the two branches of the lake. Lake Como is in a mountainous region. The surrounding Prealps may not seem very high, but the climate is still influenced by the nearby mountains, and temperatures can change rapidly. Pay special attention to the weather conditions during hikes and bring warm and waterproof clothing!
