When Luk\u00e1\u0161 and I first laid eyes on Lake Como<\/strong>, we were standing on the platform in Varenna, completely speechless. Turquoise water, snow-capped Alpine peaks behind it, and colourful little towns clinging to steep hillsides all around. I remember thinking it couldn’t possibly be real. But it absolutely is. \ud83d\ude0a<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This Italian<\/a> lake<\/strong>, shaped like an upside-down fork, covers an area of 146 km\u00b2<\/strong> and ranks among the deepest lakes in Europe (up to 410 metres!). Along its shores you’ll find lavish billionaire villas, medieval castles, romantic harbours, and hiking trails with jaw-dropping views.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In this guide, I’ll walk you through the most beautiful towns around Lake Como<\/strong>, explain how boat transport on Lake Como<\/strong> works, and share practical tips we’ve tested first-hand. Whether you’re planning a day trip from Milan or a week-long Lake Como holiday<\/strong> \u2014 this is the guide you need.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
