Ultimate Northern Italy: Top Destinations, Sights, & Activities

Lake Como is one of the most stunning places I have ever visited. It is truly picture-perfect. We stayed in Varenna and used public transportation to get everywhere! 

This is a basic guide with my favorite places around that lake that I recommend checking out during your vacation. 

In this guide, you will find a list & map of: 
 - Hotel recommendations
 - Restaurant recommendations
 - Things to do and places to see
 - Experiences (boat trips / cooking classes)

Lake Como

Many destinations have been in 🐆 fashion and then out over the years but Milan and Lake Como are constant in their splendor. This is a living guide to the very best places to eat and drink when in the area.

Everybody has their favorite of the 30-plus towns and hamlets, all linked by the scenic Antica Strada Regina. To truly understand the local saying, 🚤 ‘the lake should be seen from the lake’, meander through its least explored corners towards the only island, Comacina (where spectacular firework displays mark the feast of San Giovanni in June); or hop over to the ‘pearl of the lake’, Bellagio, on the tip of the cape where the lake splits into two legs.

My recommendations cover the entire lake Como district - the Alps ever-present, vast and dreamy, climate never too hot, never too cold - and Milan capital of fashion and design setting new trends for Italy and beyond. Tips include dishes to order, background about the place, and some personal anecdotes to give extra color to each destination!

NB: As I travel back to the region I will continue to update this list. If you purchase today, you will receive all future updates.

Non-Touristy Lake Como Itinerary For 5 Days

Ponte della Civera

Nesso is a really enchanting place that you can reach by boat but also on foot with a not too challenging descent. Here you can dive and swim under the romantic historical bridge of the village and enjoy the amazing view 🥰. 

If you want, you can swim and also jump from the bridge to the lake or rent a boat here and visit the bridge from the waterside! 

Visiting this place is free of charge and it is also 24/7 open.

Go bridge-jumping and swim around, or just take in the sights in the beautiful area of Nesso!

You can jump off this bridge into the lake!
