Day Trip: Lake Como
On our journey across northern Italy we drove from Venice to the Aosta Valley and right in the middle is the luxurious Lake Como. We could have spent longer strolling through the dozens of lakeside villages or taking tours of some of the famous villas, but we were going from point A to point B and the lake was just a mere distraction for a few hours. We drove to the little town of Bellagio and then boarded a car ferry to Menaggio. The trip last only about 15 minutes. But as you are standing on the back of the ferry with the lake all around your looking at the mountains, villages and villas just take a second to think of where you are and be happy in that truly unique moment. It is worth the money to take the ferry just to go out on the lake, but if you want a longer Lake Como experience I would recommend driving the long way around the fingers of the lake so you can see everything up close and personal.
