Lake Como
Lake ComoThe Italian Lakes are renowned for their outstanding beauty, with shimmering blue waters surrounded by lush green forests, and Lake Como in particular has a lot to offer coach trip visitors to its picturesque shores.
Dramatic mountain scenery reflecting in still crystal clear azure waters make Lake Como one of the most romantic settings in the world.
Italy’s third largest lake, which forks through the Lombardy region, is home to some of the most seductive landscapes in the world, only interrupted by pretty lakeside towns and palatial villas which continue to attract A-List celebrities. The ferry runs from Hotel Bazzoni across the lake to the village of Bellagio, known for its elegant architecture, quaint cobbled streets and beautiful tourist treasures like the Tower of the Arts.
Or why not take a stroll along the lakeside to Villa Carlotta, a stunning art museum, to immerse yourself in the luscious botanical garden or the rich collection of artwork inside!
A scintillating place oozing Italian style and charm that will have you in the palm of its hand throughout your entire coach break.
