Is LAKE COMO Worth the HYPE?!

What to do & where to stay in Lake Como:

HOW I MAKE MY VIDEOS 🎥

When you are living on Lake Como, sometimes you don’t even realize how lucky you are. Always in your everyday routine… But when you stop for a moment, taking some time for yourself, you always fall in love with this place.
Our Earth is full of beautiful places that are waiting to be visited. Greetings from Lake Como🇮🇹

I come from Como and just don’t understand why tourists only stay in those villages on the lake and forget to visit Como city center: it’s so beautiful and really worths a walk through its streets eating a good gelato!

i've travelled a reasonable amount across europe, Lake Como is without doubt the best place I've visited and certainly the best out of all the lakes (i've visited them all) - It's picturesque, charming, calm but also vibrant and atmospheric, diverse, I could go to Como every year for the rest of my life and never get bored!

[danielazziptrips]

Lake Como looks so beautiful! Italy is one of those countries I just can't get enough of!

[be_de]

That’s one of the very few nice places I’ve been to. So YES the hype is well deserved 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

I’ve been to Lake Como once and it is so gorgeous. I went during off-season and it was amazing. Definitely worth it for the scenic views !

I've heard nothing but great things about Lake Como. One of my good friends went there a few years ago and absolutely loved it. I feel that with any picturesque lake like Lake Como or even Lake Bled in Slovenia that a boat ride is a must!

Whenever I travel and see vloggers I'm like gosh I am so happy I don't need to film everything, talk to a camera and do all this documentation work. Really it must be a though job and also hard to actually enjoy holidays like that after all. So thanks for doing this job and making it possible for us to experience it from the couch! Well done

I usually travel Asia and Africa so I’m missing so many gems in Europe! Everywhere in Italy just seems insanely beautiful

Without watching: YES IT DOES!!! Just been there over the weekend 😭 Love you Lexie and can’t wait for your book!!!!

We were just there in early October and it was perfect, the weather, not crowded, everything was just lovely. We found hotels and restaurants to not be super expensive so we were pleasantly surprised. We did not take a wooden boat tour but you can still see beautiful views from the ferry so unless you have a couple hundred you want to spend on the boat ride, you can easily skip that. Also the best things to do around places like Varenna is visit all the gardens of the villas, those are the most beautiful (and photographed) spots, if you just stay around the city you will feel disappointed.

I go to lake Como a lot and the number 1 mistake that visitors make in my opinion is staying by the lake for their entire trip. The most beauty is found by walking up on the old mule trails up in the woods behind the towns. These walks are incredible. You hike through the forest that is much cooler than the lake in summer, running into small abandoned villages and sometimes wild boar in the distance (they run a mile as soon as they see you, don't worry). And you can end up at a restaurant in the mountains with an incredible view.

Another tip I would say is to visit Bellagio briefly and then go find somewhere quieter. Varenna is a quieter alternative, but still quite busy. The smaller villages can be amazing. Rezzonico is gorgeous. Hardly any shops and only two restaurants, but it's gorgeous.

Tip: go off-season! During summer holidays it’s way too crowded. After holidays the weather is still great and the quietness will give you more time to see the beauty of the places.

You can do Lake Como on a budget. We stayed in central Como for around 50 € per night in an AirBnB and just took the ferry from there to the other spots at the lake. The old town of Como is worth visiting as well.

Going there tomorrow.i appreciate your advice about having “no expectations “ and to just freely live the moment and enjoy the blessing of spending time there. 💓

Ciao! I am from Lake Como and I agree with the fact that you defenitely should not take a car here because there are not so many parking spots and in summer there is too much traffic. You can use bus, water public transports or walk! ;)
In Varenna I reccomend the Castello di Vezio which is a wonderful castel from where you can admire the first part of the two branches of Lake Como. It's the place where you can see the most wonderful view on Lake Como!
And if you want to enjoy it completely, you have yo go off season (april/may and october). It's not too crowded and the colors are wonderful!
NIce video!!

€390 for a 3-hour boat rental?! Wow! I know these tourist hot spots can be pricey. But that takes price-gouging to new extremes

[littlebigjohn]

im a spaniard and italy and japan are my favourite places in the world, and been to most of the civilized part of the world because of my job. im a history and art freak, and italy has more unesco sights like 55 compare to china 50 by the way i also like but italy is a living museum art form. great art is not cheap and i hope tourist appreciate this and one who doesnt stay away you ruin the beauty .

[reelhappytravellers]

Beautiful pearl in the world .
What a great video, stay happy forever

in my life i have been to two places that are hyped like crazy. one of them is cappadocia in turkey and the other one is como in italy and both of them are even better than their hype
