Things to Do

Staying for a few days — or extending to a holiday? Here’s a list of fun things to do nearby:

1. Boat Tour of Lake Como

Ferry and boat tours on Lake Como are a must if you want to fully experience your trip to this picturesque region and explore the iconic towns and villas on the lake
A convenient public boat service is available from Lecco to Bellagio, stopping at Valmadrera, Abbadia Lariana, Mandello del Lario, Onno, Vassena, Limonta, Lierna and Bellagio, where there are other services to various places on Lake Como.  Definitely our top recommendation!

2. Bergamo

A medieval heart and a contemporary soul, Bergamo is a jewel set within ancient World Heritage walls 

Bergamo is one of a kind. It is characterised by an older part located on a hill, rich in medieval remains, and a modern part at its foot. Two souls and one heart.

3. Lecco

In Lecco, for a romantic itinerary in the footsteps of the Bride and Groom

At the southern end of Lake Como, Lecco became famous because it is on its shores that the famous novel by Alessandro Manzoni I Promessi Sposibegins. To visit “That branch of Lake Como, which turns at noon” in the footsteps of Renzo and Lucia - as well as those of the many other characters in the book - just one day is enough, provided it is intense.

A day in the Manzonian places, between walks at sunset, boat tours and breathtaking views is a perfect idea all year round.
