Where to go on vacation on Lake Como
Where to go on vacation on Lake Como?
Where is it best to stay to enjoy each day to the fullest?
Fortunately, the area is quite small, you won't have to travel hundreds of kilometers to get from one place to another, but you just need to drive or take public transport for a few minutes, an hour at most, to go from Como or Lecco to the northernmost part of the lake.
The main points of interest regarding the most important villages and villas to visit are located in the center of the lake: Bellagio, Varenna, Tremezzo, and the most famous villas with their botanical gardens are concentrated in this part of the lake.
If, on the other hand, you prefer to dedicate your holiday to relaxation or sports activities, the northern part of the lake is the place for you: in fact, here the valley is much wider and allows for the right wind for all water sports activities such as sailing, kitesurfing, and windsurfing.
On the surrounding mountains there are many hiking trails, which can be traveled either on foot, by mountain bike or e-bike, as well as cycle paths that stretch for over 100 km and will take you right into the heart of Valtellina.
Moreover, this part of the lake is not as frequented by mass tourism as the central part of the lake, or the southern part which remains very close to the main cities of Como and Lecco. Here, even the most popular beaches such as those in Dongo, Domaso, or Sorico are never crowded, so you can relax undisturbed even in July and August!
By staying in the upper part of the lake, you would therefore avoid the traffic and crowds typical of the more southern part, which is much more “famous” and frequented by tourists, while still being very close to all points of interest, reachable in just a few minutes by car or public transport, both by road and by lake!
