Attractions and Activities

Lake Como is a fascinating destination all year round, with the best times to visit being Spring, Summer, and Autumn:

Spring (March - May):

Spring is a wonderful time to visit Lake Como. The weather becomes milder, and nature awakens with blooming flowers and breathtaking scenery. It’s a perfect season for hiking, cycling, exploring gardens and historic villas, visiting picturesque lakeside villages, and taking boat trips.

Summer (June - August):

Summer is a lively season full of outdoor activities, cultural events, and opportunities to enjoy the lake’s natural beauty. The warmer temperatures are ideal for swimming, water sports, boating, hiking, cycling, visiting gardens and historic villas, and exploring charming lakeside villages.

Autumn (September - October):

Autumn offers mild weather and spectacular landscapes with the changing colors of the leaves. With fewer tourists than in summer, September and October are particularly pleasant for hiking, cycling, visiting gardens and historic villas, exploring lakeside villages, and enjoying boat trips.

TIPS

>We advise you to take a day to visit the marvelous little towns around the lake. Como city is the urban centre of the area, but the little towns are gems with glorious lakeside villas.

>To travel and walk around Lake Como, especially in the little towns, comfortable shoes are a must.

>There are many public drinking-water fountains in the area, and the water is safe to drink unless stated otherwise. Tap water is also drinkable. You can carry your own refillable bottle!

>If you are looking for a relatively easy hike in the area and want to enjoy mountain views anyway, Lake Como Greenway is an easy-to-follow trail that doesn't require too much walking uphill. It connects the little towns from Colonno to Griante. A bus will take you from Carate Urio to the starting point in Colonno.

>Look for traditional restaurants where you can try local foods such as Lake Como fish dishes.

>In Italy, many shops (especially the little ones) and services are closed in the middle of the day, so be careful to plan your shopping accordingly.

>Lake Como is one of the deepest lakes in Europe and the deepest in Italy. Swimming and diving are prohibited in many areas and can be dangerous. For those who wish to dwell in the water, however, there are some options. There are beaches in other lakeside towns.

Lido di Bellagio and pebbly San Giovanni beach will be waiting for those who wish to travel and explore the beautiful town of Bellagio which lies in the middle of the two Larian branches. Locals and visitors also enjoy travelling to Nesso where the bravest swimmers can jump into the lake from the ancient Roman bridge near the waterfall.

>Lake Como is located in a mountainous region. The surrounding pre-Alps might not seem very high, but the climate is nevertheless affected by the nearby mountains, and temperatures can change quickly. Be particularly attentive to the weather when hiking, and bring some warm and waterproof clothes with you!
