Lake Como, in Northern Italy’s Lombardy region, is an iconic lake destination known for its dramatic scenery and historic lakeside villas, set against the foothills of the Alps. The Lake is shaped like an upside down ‘Y’, with three slender branches that meet at the resort town of Bellagio. At the bottom of the southwest branch lies the city of Como, and its beautiful old town with renaissance architecture. Lake Como is located about 50 kilometers North of Milan. From its waters you can enjoy amazing views of charming villages, beautiful villas and lush gardens. Visitors have easy access to a wide variety of cultural and entertainment options while always being close to the outdoors.
