TIPS
To move around and stroll by Lake Como, especially in the small towns, it is essential to wear comfortable shoes.
There are many public fountains with drinkable water in the area, and the water is safe to drink unless otherwise indicated. Tap water is also potable. Feel free to bring your refillable bottle!
If you are looking for a relatively easy hike in the area while still enjoying mountain views, the Greenway del Lago di Como is an easy-to-follow trail connecting the lake towns from Colonno to Griante and passing through Ossuccio. Look for the Greenway signs in the area.
From Ossuccio, you can take a taxi boat to reach Isola Comacina.
In Italy, many shops (especially smaller ones) and services close in the middle of the day, so be sure to plan your shopping accordingly.
Lake Como is one of the deepest lakes in Europe and the deepest in Italy. Swimming and diving are prohibited in many areas and can be dangerous. However, for those who wish to dive into the water, there are a few options. Nearby, there are the Lido di Ossuccio and the Lido di Lenno. In other small towns, there are more beaches and bars by the lake. The Lido di Bellagio and the pebbly beach of San Giovanni await those who want to travel and explore the beautiful town of Bellagio. Locals and visitors also love heading to Nesso, where the bravest swimmers can jump into the lake from the ancient Roman bridge near the waterfall.
Lake Como is located in a mountainous region. The surrounding Pre-Alps may not seem very high, but the weather is still influenced by the nearby mountains, and temperatures can change quickly. Pay particular attention to the weather conditions when hiking and bring warm and waterproof clothing!
