Day Trip to Lake Como, Italy! A real vacation is only when you enjoy the beautiful scenery! How can you visit Milan without visiting the surrounding Lago di Como! This lake, surrounded by the Alps, is so blue that it looks like a gem, and there are many celebrities buying houses nearby for vacation. 🚄 Departure: Milan → Varenna Transportation Points! First depart from Milan Centrale to Varenna, there are many trains, about 1 hour to arrive - remember, after arriving in Varenna, buy a ferry ticket to Bellagio! You can't buy tickets if you're late! There is a ticket booth at the lakeside pier. It is very convenient to buy on site. It is recommended to go after playing Varenna. The boat ride is about 20 minutes. 🌟 Must-take pictures beautiful spots, no need to edit photos! 1. The town of Varenna 🏰Varenna Attraction 1: Villa Monastero Get off the bus and walk for 1 minute! This villa used to be a monastery, now turned into a super beautiful garden + museum - the garden is full of tropical plants, colorful flowers, walk along the promenade by the lake, the Alps and blue lake in the distance, the photos are simply beautiful! 🌿Varenna Attraction 2: Hotel Villa Cipressi Heaven’s Gate Hotel Villa Cipressi is a hotel with an iron gate at the door, after opening the blue lake water directly into the eye, crawling around with purple wisteria flowers, seems to open the door to heaven! I was super looking forward to it, but there was an event that day so I couldn't enter in the end, so he checked before it was open! 2. The town of Bellagio The "Pearl Town" of Lake Como, sitting at the fork of the lake, the whole town is as beautiful as an oil painting! There are also many boutiques and cafés in the town, sitting down and sipping a cup of coffee, looking at the lake view, lazy is the best look on vacation ~ ⚠️Tips you must know! Don't step on thunder! 1. Dressing advice: The wind by the lake is relatively strong, even in summer you have to bring a thin jacket; breakfast in the morning almost freeze to death! If you want to take pictures, you can wear a light-colored long dress that matches Lake Como perfectly! Don't just visit Rome and Florence when you go to Italy. The slow life and luxury here are the essence of an Italian vacation. Mark the guide and rush here next time you go to Italy! #Lake Como Guide #Lake View Trip in Italy #Register for August Hotel Sleep Tester 2025
