The best areas to stay in Lake Como.
Deciding on where to stay in Lake Como is that all-important but all-too-difficult question. To the innocent tourist, it’s an overwhelmingly expensive temptress. To the indecisive, it’s a minefield. That's where we here at Plum Guide are stepping in to help out.
1. Como
Located at the southwestern end of the lake, this is the largest town in the region and the main hub for visitors. Como has something for everyone, from excellent shopping to historic buildings. Its 14th-century Duomo is a stunning example of Gothic and Renaissance architecture, with a magnificent interior and dome which you can climb for breathtaking views of the city.
2. Bellagio
One of the most well-known towns in Lake Como, picturesque Bellagio is centred right in the middle of the lake where the two ‘branches’ meet. Bellagio boasts splendid views of the lake and mountains, as well charming cobbled streets, elegant villas and gardens like Giardini di Villa Melzi where you can enjoy romantic lake views.
3. Varenna
On the eastern shores of the lake is Varenna, a peaceful village with a scenic waterfront. Chances are, you've seen pictures of Varenna before – it's one of the most photographed spots in the whole area, so it's a must-visit on our travel guide to Lake Como. Take a stroll down the Walk of Lovers to admire the colourful buildings and pebbly beach. The medieval castle Castello Di Vezio sits above the town and boasts fantastic views, making for a lovely hike. You’ll be relieved to know that during the high season, there’s also a shuttle bus that runs from the town up to the castle.
4. Argegno
For a quieter, more authentic experience, head to Argegno on the western shores. Part of its charm is that there aren’t many attractions geared towards tourists, making it the best place to stay for lovebirds or those wanting an off-the-beaten-path getaway. Our suggestion is to take the cable car up to Pigra, a small village looking down over Como from 881 metres high. Continue your explorations with a scenic walk down to the old fishing village of Colonno.

The best things to do in Lake Como.
Lake Como offers a myriad of activities that cater to various interests. Whether you're a history aficionado, nature enthusiast, or foodie, this region has something special for you.
Taste local delicacies Local delicacies to make note of include missoltino (sun-dried fish grilled and seasoned with oil and vinegar), brasato di cinghiale selvatico (wild boar braised in wine), pizzocheri (buckwheat pasta strips served with cabbage or Swiss chard, potatoes and cheese), and risotto con filetti di pesce persico (risotto with perch fish fillets).
Explore the lake There are various ways to get out on the lake, ranging from private rentals to group tours and hop-on-hop-off boats. The public ferries are best for budgets, allowing you to make different stops around the lake at your own pace. For something more private, how about hiring a classy sailing boat for the day? This way you can access secluded coves, hidden beaches and cliffs that the public ferries don’t call at.
Discover museums and galleries Lake Como has a fascinating selection of museums showcasing the culture and history of the area. Museo della Seta is dedicated to the history of the region’s silk production, where you can view exhibits of antique weaving looms, fabrics, and garments. For art lovers, the museum within the 17th-century Villa Carlotta features a wide collection, from paintings by Francesco Hayez to works by Italian sculptors Antonio Canova and Luigi Acquisti.
Relax at the beach On a hot and sunny day, there’s nowhere better to relax than on the lake’s beaches. Spiaggia Pubblica di Bellagio is Bellagio’s public beach, with nearby amenities like restaurants and cafes. Parco Ulisse Guzzi is another great spot, with lawns, food vendors, picnic areas and a white pebble beach. For a more natural feel, Spiagga di Piona on the north side of the lake is surrounded by verdant greenery, and there’s even a small port where you can moor your boat.
Enjoy nature With its incredible natural surroundings, Lake Como is ideal for hiking. An easy option is the 11-kilometre Greenway del Lago di Como trail which takes you along the lake and through villages and pretty gardens. For something a little more challenging, the summit of Monte Grona boasts panoramic views of the lake and the surrounding mountains. If you don’t want to miss the views but equally don’t fancy the hike, you can drive up to Sighignola to check out the lake and valley below.
