What people say
Garrett Sears
"Located directly across the lake from Varenna, Mennagio is one of the largest towns on the lake and is often considered by visitors to be the most beautiful.
It’s definitely worth hiking up the steep steps to the beautiful older part of the town, where you’ll find the dilapidated remains of the original city wall.
There are also some good hiking trails with incredible views that start from the nearby Breglia.
Spend time wandering through the gorgeous streets, and soaking up the views on the elegant lakefront promenade that is lined with palm trees and flower beds.
Piazza Garibaldi, with its 19th-century architecture, is the vibrant hub of Menaggio, filled with bars, restaurants, and cafes."

"Just a few minutes from the town’s pier is Piazza Garibaldi, the heart of Menaggio. Here, and in the surrounding small squares, there are many bars, restaurants and ice cream parlors with lake views. From Piazza Garibaldi, streets branch off leading to various points of interest.
📷 You absolutely cannot miss a walk along Menaggio’s lakefront Viale Benedetto Castelli, in my opinion one of the most beautiful on Lake Como. This elegant lakefront is the perfect place for a relaxing stroll among flower beds and colorful houses. Don’t miss the opportunity to take beautiful photographs with Bellagio and Lake Como in the background!"

"Menaggio is a beautiful town of ancient origins overlooking Lake Como.
The characteristics of Menaggio make this town unique: those who simply want to relax and experience the atmosphere of the lake can walk through the narrow streets of the historic center and along the very elegant lakefront, one of the longest on Lake Como.
Those who love nature, on the other hand, can choose from several routes that offer unique views and flavors."
