THINGS TO DO

Lario Hotels is less than an hour by train or car from Milan and the infinite opportunities it offers. From numerous world-class museums like Palazzo Reale and the Fondazione Prada, to name just a couple, to vibrant new public spaces like the Darsena and Piazza Gae Aulenti, where you can immerse yourself in the real life of Milan: aperitivi, music, art, design, fashion, fine dining, entertainment. And of course, some of the best shopping in the world.

Close your eyes, point to a map of the territory surrounding the lake, and just go! Because there are so many places to see and things to do that it’s impossible to choose. Cities: Bergamo, Lugano. Unconventional museums: Ferrari, Volandia. Sports: water skiing, wakeboarding, kite surfing, and above all, golf, for Como is surrounded by golf courses as if by a sparkling green necklace. Sounds like a lot to take in? Trust us, this is just a taste.

The number of museums worth visiting in Como and its environs is quite surprising, and there’s something for everyone: from the traditional to the experimental, for young and old, within walking distance or a few kilometers by car. But in the end, this part of Italy is basically one giant open-air museum, with amazing sites like the Duomo and the Villa Reale, not to mention the world’s most beautiful lake.
