Milan and Lake Como | Pearl at the foot of the Alps

🌟Highlights: Lake Como is located at the foot of the Alps. It is a glacial lake injected by mountain snow and is also the third largest lake in Italy. The beautiful scenery here once amazed British poets Shelley and Wordsworth; Hollywood star George Clooney also has a villa here; Villa del Balbianello, where Queen Padme of Naboo and Anakin got married in "Star Wars", is also here. ❤Recommendation reason: Lake Como is a narrow lake in the shape of an inverted Y. It is a famous summer resort in Italy. Its tranquil atmosphere has attracted many celebrities to vacation and purchase properties here. The entire lake is located at the foot of the Alps, and the northern part of the lake is the Swiss border. The small town on the lakeside is a unique blend of the architectural styles of Italy and Switzerland. You can take a cruise to explore the lake area, take a cable car to the town on the mountain to see the beautiful scenery of the lake area, or make an appointment to take a seaplane to travel between the lake and the mountains. 👍Most recommended: There are many small towns along the lake, each with different characteristics. The more famous ones are Verenna, Bellagio and Como, a transportation hub. ✅Must experience: Bellagio is located in the heart of Lake Como. It has a bird's-eye view of more than 270 degrees. You can see the entire lake area and the surrounding towns. When the weather is fine, you can even see Mont Blanc, the highest peak in Europe, at the border between Italy and France in the distance. ✅Must experience: Varenna is relatively quiet and leisurely. Whether you are walking through the alleys to experience the Italian lifestyle, or finding a cafe sitting by the lake, it is a great way to enjoy it. 📍Detailed address: FLake Como Italy 🚉Transportation strategy: Lake Como is located at the border between Italy and Switzerland, 50 kilometers away from Milan. Taking a train from Milan is a better way to get here. You can take a train from Milan Central Station (Milano Centrale) to Como S. Giovanni Station in Como, which takes half an hour each way, or you can take a train from Milan North Station (Cadorna F.N.M) to Como Nord Lago Station, which takes one hour each way. 🗓Itinerary: Many people will first take a train from Milan to the conveniently located town of Como, and then take a ferry to visit small towns such as Bellagio and Varenna. 🗓Leisure route: Milan Main Railway Station-Como Town (take the cable car up and down the mountain to see the scenery + play in the town)-Milan Main Railway Station; 🗓In-depth route: Milan Main Train Station - Como Town - Take a boat to Bellagio Town - Take a boat to Varenna Town - Take a train back to Milan Main Train Station ⏳Visiting time: Each town takes about 1.5 hours to visit.
