👍👍 The best botanical garden that I have ever visited! There are numerous exotic plants and trees and some artificial waterfalls and springs. It is really beautiful and there is a spectacular view to the lake from the top of the hill with the olive trees.

Da Franco Piadineria e Panetteria
Bakery
👍👍 Oh, the proprietor and his partner were so wonderful! We stopped in to get some breakfast breads and they helped so much. They sold chocolate salami! It is NOT meat, just chocolate and so good. They had a type of flat bread, I forgot the name, and it was awesome and made there. We are from Kentucky...

Enoteca Cantina Follie
Wine bar
👍👍 This place was amazing, great little spot right off the main road. Staff was very friendly and helpful, and the wine, cheese and meats were all delicious! Can still see the lake from the terrace but don’t have all the cars flying by you while your enjoying your wine.

Al Prato Restaurant
Italian restaurant
👍👍 Al Prato surprised us with the most exquisite and delicious food ! Come here early because they do close at around 2 pm to end their lunch service.
We ordered the octopus to share, and the octopus was cooked to perfection. You could easily cut it with a butter knife.
The truffle beef tartare was o...

Monte Crocione
Vista point
👍👍 As others have posted, many reviews do not capture the hike from Tremezzo. Beginning in Tremezzo, it is roughly a 30 minute walk up a bike path to the start of the trail. This walk is uphill in a cobblestone path.
The entire hike from the beginning is quite steep, hiking poles would be tremendously...

Osteria Il Governo 1801
Restaurant
😐 Unfortunately it was a big disappointment! So much expectation on this restaurant but in the end no a single dish wowed me. All the presentations were super nice and pretty, the execution of the dishes were nicely done, but in my opinion every single dish lacked salt, consequently, flavour. For me,...

Dispensa 63
Restaurant
👍👍 You’ll forever regret not eating here if you’re in lake como, it doesn’t matter where you’re staying, in Varenna, Menaggio, all the way down in Como, or even Milan, it’s worth the visit to Bellagio to experience it at least once - be warned they are fully booked pretty far in advance, and it’s under...

Museo del Ciclismo
Museum
👍👍 After climbing the epic hill either way to Ghisallo, the museum is a must see. It doesn't look like much from the entrance where the shop is but once you walk down the ramps, the scale of it and the care with which it has been designed and put together is remarkable. You could spend as long here as...

Punta Spartivento
Observation deck
👍👍 Worth visiting to see a beautiful scenery, as you may have seen that its right at the intersection of the 2 branches of the lake!
It's better to get here by foot, the roads ~500mt are too narrow and also have tourists walking around. Parking is a bit tough to find on the streets due to the crowd bu...
