Change your mind if you imagine the bustling art cities, the famed beaches, or the mountains of Tuscany and Umbria. The Italy of the Northern Lakes is a unique kind of Italy with ties to a wealthy, carefree past and a subdued appeal.
The peaceful flow of the water, the tranquil existence of the towns reflected in it, and the routes of the mountains surrounding it all determine the rhythm of life on Lake Como. You can endure the fairest services with homes for rent on Lake Como.
The Ideal Vacation Spot in Every Season
All seasons are worthwhile for visiting Lake Como. Even though most visitors arrive in the warmest months of the year, from May to August, the best time to visit lake Como and its surrounding is between September and April when there are significantly fewer visitors and the benefit of low season prices. The snow on the mountain peaks will be central to creating stunning holiday photos! However, if you are sensitive to the cold, be sure to take warm clothing for your trip, and avoid travelling in January when the nighttime lows can reach 0 degrees.
Explore Livigno
Livigno, commonly known as “The Little Tibet,” is a town in the Italian Alps, close to the Swiss border, on a plateau at around 1800 metres above sea level. Livigno is a duty-free area with special tax rebates, making it a shoppers’ paradise as well as a fantastic destination for people who love the outdoors. In the winter, Livigno is a top-notch ski resort, and in the summer, it has hiking and bicycling paths.
The duty-free exemption covers designer clothing, leather products, electronics, cosmetics, and other items in addition to cigarettes and alcoholic beverages. The village, which has more than 200 stores, can be compared to a huge outdoor shopping mall. So be sure to swing by when you’re visiting Lake Como!
Traditional Foods
The holidays are undoubtedly quite significant, especially if you are travelling to Italy. The regional specialities served in eateries near Lake Como reflect tradition, zeal, and the local way of life. A number of dishes from the poor heritage that combine the flavours of the lake and the mountain reflect the local cuisine, such as the Risotto con Pesce Persico (rice with fried fish and herbs). It’s imperative to try a Furmagitt if you adore cheese. Goat cheese has indeed been created by hand using a traditional method for many years.
Shopping
Never before has shopping around Lake Como been so simple. For instance, 40 stores at Bellagio are open until 11 p.m. throughout the months of July and August. After a delicious meal, take a tour through the old city in search of antiques to take home. Como and the rest of the region are still regarded as the world’s centres for silk production. Ties, scarves, especially bags and leather products are available for purchase. Of course, all items are produced in Italy. Although Bellagio does not have any shopping centres or stores, you will enjoy exploring the weekly market and the quaint shops along Via Roma and Via Garibaldi.
Haven’t visited Lake Comp but looks gorgeous. Have visited Lake Garda and that was excellent. Gardaland was a great theme park for the whole family.
