Lake Como from Milan: Bellagio, Varenna & Boat Tours

About This Experience

This day trip focuses on the water, linking three of Lake Como's prettiest villages — Bellano, Bellagio and Varenna — by ferry. Leaving Milan by coach, you begin in the quiet lakeside town of Bellano before boarding a boat to cross the lake beneath steep mountains and elegant villas.

In Bellagio, the "Pearl of Lake Como," a short guided introduction is followed by free time to wander stone stairways, browse boutiques, or relax over a coffee with a lake view. Another scenic crossing brings you to Varenna, one of the lake's most photogenic villages, where colourful houses tumble toward a peaceful waterfront.

Radio guides keep you connected to your tour leader throughout, and generous free time at each stop makes this a relaxed, authentic introduction to the lake rather than a rushed checklist.
