Itinerary

  1. This is the best place to come if you want to swim in the lake. It gets a bit crowded, but it’s worth it. It is really important to follow the rules to avoid unpleasant incidents; please do not get too close to the bridge, and—above all—stay away from the people swimming in the water.

    30 minAdmission included

  2. Overlooking the waters of Blevio, Villa Troubetzkoy is a charming 19th-century residence that catches the eye of those on the water with its distinctive architecture, reminiscent of a traditional Russian dacha.

    5 minAdmission included

  3. Also known as the former Villa Versace and located in Moltrasio, it is a magnificent neoclassical residence with a distinctive yellow hue, renowned for its splendid ornamental gardens and for having been the exclusive retreat of fashion designer Gianni Versace.

    5 minAdmission included

  4. Admire the unmistakable elegance of Villa del Balbianello, the iconic mansion on the Lenno peninsula famous for being the setting for Star Wars and James Bond. We recommend that you consider a 3-hour hike – the perfect time for an unforgettable adventure.

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).
