Como, Lake Como, panoramic view - Italy

Como is a charming and historic city in northern Italy, close to the Swiss border. It is located in the Lombardy region, about an hour's drive north of Milan, and is known for its proximity to Lake Como (Lago di Como), one of the most famous and scenic lakes in Europe. Como is the largest city on Lake Como and has a population of around 85,000. Como is a popular destination for both tourists and Italians. Como's history dates back to Roman times. The city was founded by the Romans and was then an important trading and defensive site. During the Middle Ages and the Renaissance, Como grew as a centre for silk production, a tradition that still lives on today. Inside the old town centre, which is surrounded by part of the medieval city wall, you can stroll along narrow cobbled streets and admire historic buildings.

Lake Como ( Lago di Como in Italian) - one of Italy's most beautiful and famous lakes. The lake stretches like an upside-down Y, is surrounded by steep mountains, green slopes and elegant villas. Lake Como has long attracted artists, writers and celebrities. From Como you can take a boat to several beautiful lakeside villages, such as Bellagio, Varenna and Menaggio. Another popular excursion is to take the funicular up to Brunate, a small village above Como, where you get a fantastic view of the lake and the Alps. Lake Como has three "arms" - the western part goes towards Como, the eastern towards Lecco, and the upper part is often called the Colico arm. In the middle, where the lake arms meet, lies the beautiful village of Bellagio. Lake Como is about 50 km long, up to 410 meters deep (making it one of Europe's deepest lakes) and about 146 square kilometers in size.
