97 Best and Fun Things To Do In Varenna, Italy

This charming village situated on Lake Como’s eastern shore is a must-see for anyone interested in seeing a typical example of a town on the lake.

It’s also one of the most well-preserved medieval villages in the entire area, with its steep cobblestone streets, porticos, and antique churches.

Popular activities here include taking a walk along the scenic Passeggiata degli Innamorati (Lovers’ walk) or the terraced gardens at Villa Cipressi, both of which offer awe-inspiring views of the lake; or paying a visit to the lakeside promenade at the old borgo for some shopping and a bite to eat.
