Lake Como from Milan: Varenna, Bellagio, and the Iconic Villa
Overview
Visit the beautiful Lake Como departing from Milan by train. Your professional guide will give you the opportunity to explore the fascinating town of Varenna, departing for a boat-cruise on the lake to reach the charming village of Bellagio, pearl of the Como Lake. After lunch you will continue to Villa Carlotta with its magnificent botanic garden and art masterpieces in over 70.000 square meters of gardens and museum. Certainly, this land is beautiful… magnificent ridges are harmoniously combined here with waters of the crystal-clear lake and the human touch in the form of refined architectural constructions and centuries of history are waiting to reveal their secrets.
After the tour your guide will escort you back to Milan.
