Introduction

Lake Como is one of the famous glacial lakes in the Alps, located 50 kilometers north of Milan and is the third largest lake in Italy. The lake is surrounded by majestic mountains and presents itself in a Y-shape. The clear and transparent lake water creates a pleasant scenery, attracting a large number of tourists and holidaymakers to visit and cool off. The most famous attractions of Lake Como include the Bellagio promontory and the town of Lenno, where the Villa Del Balbianello is located, which was also the film location of "Star Wars". Tourists can reach the town of Como by train from Milan, then take a boat tour of the lake area or take a cable car to the mountain town to enjoy the magnificent scenery of the lake area. In addition, tourists can also book a seaplane to swim leisurely between the lake water and mountains, enjoying a very comfortable and relaxed travel experience. The expenses in Como are relatively high, and hotel prices are also expensive, with an average of 100 euros per night. Therefore, it is recommended for tourists to make a day trip from Milan, or choose the multiple trains to Switzerland.
