Lake Como

See OfFers

After Lake Garda and Lake Maggiore, Lake Como is the largest and one of the most popular lakes in Italy. With the area boasting beautiful scenery and set in the foothills of the rolling snow-covered Alps, Lake Como is a perfect place to indulge and get away from the hustle and bustle of a crowded city.

In addition to many artistic and cultural highlights, a number of impressive historic villas run along the idyllic shores, some of which have been converted into luxury hotels and contribute to the magnificence of this unique destination. While the lake itself provides spectacular views of the surrounding area, various little towns such as Bellagio, Tremezzo or Varenna boast their own charm and entice tourists to a stopover and stroll along their magical narrow streets.

There is a great variety of activities to choose from in the area of Lake Como. Why not rent a bike and explore the lakeside while enjoying a nice breeze or hire a sailing boat and cruise in style? Of course, you could also go hiking and discover nature via the Lake Como Greenway, which follows the edge of the lake and crosses through the charming lakeside park.

Important Notice: Introduction of the EU Schengen Entry/Exit System

Please be advised that, effective from 12th October 2025, a new Entry/Exit System (EES) will be implemented for all travellers entering and exiting the EU and Schengen Area.

This digital system will replace the current manual passport stamping process by electronically recording border crossings for UK nationals and other non-EU travellers.

At this time, no action is required from travellers prior to their journey. We recommend reviewing the official government guidance to understand how this may affect your travel arrangements.
