About Lake Como

Lake Como is a deep, Y-shaped lake in Lombardy, ringed by steep green mountains, pastel villages, ornate villas and terraced gardens.

Lake Como is shaped like an upside-down Y, with three arms that meet near Bellagio. At more than 400 metres deep, it is one of the deepest lakes in Europe, held between steep wooded slopes that rise towards the Alps. Villages with painted houses and small harbours stand along the water, and a network of ferries links them, making a boat the best way to see the shoreline.

Top-ranked sights in Lake Como: Villa del Balbianello, Villa Melzi Gardens (Giardini di Villa Melzi), Como-Brunate Funicular Railway (Funicolare Como-Brunate).
