Cernobbio, the first town you come across from Como going north towards Switzerland, has always been a famous tourist destination. The center of Cernobbio is characterized by a square and a very charming lakeside promenade. In Cernobbio there are two of the best-known villas on Lake Como. Villa Erba is a villa that was built at the beginning of the 1900s by the noble Erba family, surrounded by a huge park, and today hosts an exhibition centre. Villa d'Este is today one of the most well-known 5-star hotels in all of Italy. The hotel maintains a very classic style, in its architecture and service: entering this luxurious residence feels like taking a leap into the past.

Como is the capital and main city of the area around the lake, the point where one usually arrives as the first destination to then explore villages, nature and historic villas. Como is ideal as a base to stay for one or more nights or as starting and arrival point for those who decide to visit the lake for a day. Don't miss the narrow streets in the historic center, the walks on the lake and the viewpoint from Brunate, reachable by funicular.

The Comacina island is the only island on Lake Como, off the coast of the village of Ossuccio with which it forms a small bay. The island is rich in history: when the Lombards invaded northern Italy, the island was one of the last outposts of the Roman empire to resist.

Bellagio is one of the most well-known villages on Lake Como. Located in a unique position, which places it exactly in the center of the waters of the lake, which here divides into two branches. The village of Bellagio is characterized by narrow stepped streets, passages and porticoes, local craft shops. The parks of Villa Melzi and Villa Serbelloni can be visited every day and are undoubtedly among the most beautiful on the lake. Finally, a walk to Pescallo and Punta Spartivento to admire the lake from a different perspective.

Blevio and Torno are two small villages on the right side of the western branch of Lake Como. The banks of Blevio are characterized by a multitude of historic villas, currently used as residential complexes, hotels or private structures. Torno is one of the many characteristic villages of Lake Como, less known than Bellagio or Varenna, and therefore suitable for those who want to enjoy a very local experience.

Moltrasio, Carate Urio and Laglio are three villages located on the left side of the western branch of Lake Como. Their shores are characterized by a multitude of villas and gardens, mostly visible from the lake. This area is also recommended for those looking for a relaxing place to stay for a few nights and fully enjoy the peace of Lake Como.

Varenna is a charming village on the banks of the Lecco branch, characterized by the typical pastel-coloured houses and the network of streets that descend steeply towards the lake. A short distance from the center stands Villa Monastero, while an hour's walk takes you to the castle of Vezio, the tower of a medieval castle, from which you can admire a fantastic panorama of the lake that will leave you speechless.

Villa Balbianello is one of the most spectacular places on Lake Como, an extraordinary marriage of architecture and lake views. In the past it was the villa of cardinals and noble families, today it is owned by the FAI and can be visited every day except Mondays and Wednesdays. The villa can be reached on foot from Lenno (approximately 20 minute walk), by shuttle or private boat. The villa has been made famous in recent years for hosting scenes from Star Wars and Casino Royale.

Tremezzo is a village located in the central part of the lake, exactly in front of Bellagio. Tremezzo is mainly known for the beautiful gardens of Villa Carlotta and the Grand Hotel Tremezzo. Villa Carlotta is at the top of the list of must-see attractions on the lake. In spring, the blooms of azaleas and rhododendrons make it famous throughout the world. The interiors of the villa have been used as a museum with a collection of important sculptures. The villa is open to the public between March and November, the entrance fee is 12 Euros. Next to Villa Carlotta, the Grand Hotel Tremezzo, one of the most popular 5-star hotels on the lake.
