The Lake Como Region: What to Visit and Try
22 July 2025
In the heart of Lombardy lies Lake Como, a place woven from light and centuries-old beauty. Along the shore are towns: picturesque Bellagio, romantic Varenna, elegant Menaggio.
Flower-filled villas and an aperitif in the sunset light by the water – here every moment feels like a scene from an Italian movie.
What to do on Lake Como, according to Á la Carte Premium experts:
Attend a cooking master class
Italian cooking lessons with professional chefs, with whom it will be easy to learn how to cook fresh pasta, saffron risotto or traditional tiramisu in one of the ancient estates or legendary restaurants on the lake. We recommend taking part in a master class from chef Luigi Gandola in Bellagio.
Walk in the Orrido di Bellano Gorge
The rocky Orrido di Bellano Gorge with waterfalls and footbridges hanging over the turbulent water is just a few minutes’ drive from the lake. Here, travelers will feel the power of wild nature. Open to visitors all year round.
Take a seaplane flight over Lake Como
One of the most unique experiences is a seaplane flight over the lake and the foothills of the Alps. Taking off straight from the water, guests will be able to enjoy breathtaking panoramic views of the lake, villas, islands and mountain peaks.
Book a photo shoot on Lake Como
This is an opportunity to capture a trip to one of the most picturesque places in Europe. A professional photographer will help create stylish, romantic and emotional shots against the backdrop of villas, narrow streets, gardens and, of course, the legendary Riva boat.
