Lake Como

One of the most beautiful lakes in Europe is Lake Como commonly referred to as Lario, which is a glacial lake in the Italian region of Lombardy. It is the third-largest lake in Italy, behind Lake Garda and Lake Maggiore, with a surface area of 146 square kilometers. The lake's bottom lies more than 200 meters below sea level, making it the fifth-deepest lake in Europe and the deepest one outside of Norway. Since Roman times, aristocracy and wealthy people have used Lake Como as a getaway. Today, it is a very famous tourist destination with many important works of art and cultural treasures. There are numerous palaces and mansions there, including Villa Olmo, Villa Serbelloni, and Villa Carlotta. Numerous well-known people have resided near Lake Como and still do.


Since Pliny constructed his palace on its eastern bank during the Roman era, the affluent have flocked to frolic at glitzy Como, the cover-girl of Italian lakes. Hollywood celebrities now pick it as their getaway retreat. The stylish and picturesque town of Bellagio is located at the point where the long, narrow Como separates into two arms at the southern end, giving it the shape of an inverted Y.


The former Roman city of Como, which is located at the base of the lake and is accessible to Milan by train, is best known for its spectacular Romanesque cathedral and its cable car that ascends to provide views of the lake and the surrounding snow-capped Alps.
