Varenna, Italy is one of the most romantic towns on Lake Como, and exploring it felt like stepping into a living painting. Just across the water from Bellagio, this village has cobblestone alleys, colorful homes stacked against the hills, and a lakeside walkway that makes you feel like you’re floating above the water. In this video, we climb up to Castello di Vezio for sweeping views of Lake Como, wander the narrow streets that inspired painters and poets, and discover why Varenna has such a unique charm compared to the other towns on the lake.
If you’re planning a trip to Lake Como, Varenna is one of the easiest towns to reach by train from Milan, making it perfect for a day trip or a base for exploring nearby Bellagio, Menaggio, and the surrounding villages. This video will give you the full walking experience of Varenna, with hidden details, local history, and tips for making the most of your visit.
