Located in the North of Italy's Lombardy region, Lake Como is known for its dramatic beauty. Shaped like an upsidedown Y, this vast lake stretches about 50 kilometers or 30 miles and is set against the foothills of the Italian Alps. Unlike other Italian lakes, Como boasts a chic atmosphere, with historic villas and elegant towns lining its shores. In this video, we highlight 12 of the best things to do in and around Lake Como, including some hidden gems.
