👍👍 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.

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...

Isola Comacina

👍👍 Beautiful small island. There's a restaurant a place to moor the boats and a path to explore the island walking. Located near a beautiful shore on the western branch of Como Lake. It's worth a trip. Recommended, better on a private boat. In the photo it's possible to see a beautiful historical villa...

However when you get into the park, you can follow the trail 4 signs and signs to Tobi and end up at a river. We did this based on a locals recommendation and found a nice cool, quiet space. Such a relief f...

Belvedere di Pigra
Scenic spot
👍👍 A relatively easy ramble through woodland reveals a fantastic viewpoint over the lake, with the Bellagio promontory clearly visible. Shame about the pylons however you can still enjoy and be wowed by the beauty of the lake.
The easiest of all the Pigra based walks, and one that allows you to experi...

Claino Borgo dipinto

👍👍 Un borgo silenzioso e ricco di dipinti che si trovano sulle case (muri, porte..) nelle vie di tutto il paese. Una bella passeggiata per ammirare la particolarità di questo borgo. Vista Lago di Lugano che merita davvero!

Chiesa di San Giacomo
Tourist attraction
