Lake Como

Lake Como is the third-largest and deepest lake in Italy. Probably, the most beautiful lake in the country lies around 34 miles north of Milan, just a short trip away! This wishbone-shaped lake is snuggled in the foothills of the Alps at an elevation of 653 ft.

Visitors flock to Lake Como to explore the colorful lakeside town and enjoy vacations in luxurious villas. The Como town is nestled at the southwestern side of the lake. Though small, this town serves as a splendid transportation hub for those traveling to Lake Como from Milan. Here, you can explore the vibrant streets, and opulent villas, walk through the botanical gardens, shop, and dine at cafes enjoying the lake view. Notably, Milan's railway is one of the most favorable ways to reach Lake Como, which is quick as well as economical. Around 64 direct trains are there from Milan to Como San Giovanni daily. For a day trip to Lake Como, visitors can take the train to Milano Centrale train station, and to get back to Milan, take a return train from either Varenna or Como station.
