The 9 Best Historic Walking Areas in Lake Como, Lombardy

December 16, 2021 Myesha Cogley

A gorgeous spot that’s a convenient day trip from Milan, Lake Como recently earned fame as home to Hollywood star George Clooney. But celeb-spotting aside, it’s known for jaw-dropping natural beauty, elegant old villas—and the scenic towns surrounding the lake. Check out Varenna, Bellagio, and Menaggio, which offer great views, historic churches, and water-based activities such as ferries and passenger-only boats.

A 10,5 km course with a small difference in altitude about 200 mt from Colonno to Griante. It's fantastic path with amazing lake view. Everyone can this path from youngest to oldest. From Tremezzo to Griante the path is on the lakefront and you can visit the gardens of different villas. Moreover you can do the path fully (3 hrs) or a part of this, caming back with a ferry boat.

We meandered through downtown Como our last day in town and discovered many interesting sights. We were impressed with the Como Cathedral (Duomo), Piazza di San Fedele with it's many bars,restaurants and the Basilica di San Fedele, the walkway along the lake, and many other bars and cafes all over town.

Isola Comacina

Starting from the Antiquarium Museum, near which you can visit the Romanesque church of St. Mary Magdalene with it’s famous Gothic tower, you embark on the waters of the lake, crossing the so-called “Zoca de l’oli” to reach the Comacina Island.
