Lake Como

You have most probably heard of Lake Como, Italy’s most famous lake, probably. Since Roman times, it’s been the place where the rich and famous went to enjoy their downtime, and today many Hollywood stars and global celebrities own a house along its shores.

Lake Como is one of the deepest lakes in Europe measuring 400 meters at its deepest and sit’s just North of Milan in the foothills of the Alps just by the Swiss border.

Standing on the shores of Lake Como is like sitting in a postcard, seriously. The views are out of this world as the shimmering lake waters combine with a backdrop of the Alps falling into them.

The main town of Como sits to the south of the lake as is a quick train ride away from Milan. It’s home to Roman cathedrals, a cable car that takes you up into the Alps, and there are regular ferries to most of the other towns on Lake Como’s shores.
