  • Review this attraction
  • 1. Playing a Round of Golf

    Definitely make a round of the 18 holes at Circolo Villa D’Este and check out the course of Golf Club Menaggio & Cadenabbia.

  • 2. Mountain Biking

    The forested hills of Bellagio’s peninsula make perfect mountain-bike country. Saddle up at a local hire shop.

  • 3. Windsurfing

    The strong winds of the lake’s northern end draw an international crowd of windsurfers.

  • 4. Horse Riding

    Choose between English- or Western-style saddles and trek through mountain valleys off the Menaggio-Porlezza Road.

  • 5. Climbing

    Rock climb in the mountains ringing the lake’s southeastern end.

  • 6. Kayaking

    Get a different perspective on Como’s fabled coastline, peeking into private lakeside gardens from a kayak or canoe.

  • 7. Visiting the Divina Commedia, Bellagio

    The coolest pub in Bellagio, with the top floor a cloud-frescoed “Paradise”; the ground floor “Purgatory”; and the tiny basement a papier-mâché “Inferno”.

  • 8. Drinking at the Hemingway Pub, Como

    It’s debatable whether “Papa” actually drank atop the plush benches of this curious little bar tucked away near the port, but the cocktails are named after his books.

  • 9. Going to Farenight, Como

    On Thursdays you can have dinner and dance the night away; on Saturdays there are often live bands and an interesting crowd.

  • 10. Enjoying the Lido Giardino, Menaggio

    In daytime, enjoy the private beach and pool. On Friday and Saturday nights, the banquet hall turns into a dance club that spills out into lakeside gardens.
