Day-trip to Varenna, Lake Como
We went to Milan for a city-break and we decided to take a day-trip to explore the surroundings. After a lot of searching, we have chosen Lake Como. Even though the "pearl" of Lake Como is Bellagio, we didn't get the chance to go there, but Varenna was all we could have asked for. If you decide to stay for more than one day, you can easily access all the villages of the lake by boat. From Milan you get there by train and it costs around 5 euro(in one hour). So it's really worth it! We went there in April, so the weather was spectacular, warm and sunny.
There is no itinerary you should make for this trip, you should just enjoy walking and sightseeing. But also, do not skip Villa Monastero, it is beautiful!
There are a lot of great places to stop, just admire the scenery, relax and eat a tasty Gelato. That's what the Italian "la dolce vita" is all about:)
