Many famous people throughout the centuries have fallen under the spell of the beautiful, mirror-still waters of Lake Como. This beautiful lake at the foot of the Alps is worth a visit – Bellagio is one of the prettiest towns in this area, though the villages nestled on nearby shores are close contenders.

With Lake Maggiore and Lake Garda also being in the North of Italy, why not put it on your list to visit all three?
