The 8 Most Beautiful Towns To Visit Around Lake Como

Typically seen as a getaway to other towns around the lake, Como is probably the most underrated of the group. This is indeed where you can catch ferries to various parts of the lake, but Como is so much more than that. If you choose to spend some time here, the town will reward you with its rich history and pretty architecture. Pass by the marvellous churches, such as the 15th-century Duomo or the imposing San Fedele, and stroll along the lovely lakeside promenade. Other must-sees include Porta Pretoria, the ancient gate to the town, and the medieval centre, marked by beautiful 12th- and 13th-century buildings.
