Discover the Italian Lakes
A visit to the Italian Lakes includes spectacular landscapes, colourful local towns and a relaxing beach experience by the majestic water's edge. Two of the most popular Italian lakes to visit are Lake Garda and Lake Como
Lake Garda
Situated in the northeast of Italy, dividing the regions of Lombardy, the Veneto and Trentino Alto-Adige, Lake Garda is Italy’s largest and most cherished lake. With the low-lying, undulating land of the southern shore standing in stark contrast to the northern bank’s majestic mountains and cliffs, Lake Garda offers striking juxtapositions.
Equally as varied are the many charming lakeside villages, boasting a wonderfully relaxed atmosphere and a fascinating historical heritage. The lake’s crystal clear waters and picturesque surrounds make it a perfect destination with plenty of outdoor adventures on offer. Whether your idea of a perfect holiday involves hiking, swimming, sailing and windsurfing or spending the day exploring the historical villages strewn with quaint shops and cosy cafes, it is hard to imagine a more idyllic setting than Lake Garda.
Lake Como
Resting in the foothills of the Alps in northern Italy’s Lombardy region, the mighty Lake Como is the third-largest in Italy and has been a popular holiday retreat since the days of the Roman Empire. The lake boasts a treasure trove of artistic, cultural and natural gems hidden in the numerous villages and towns dotted along its shores. These towns are home to a plethora of grand villas, opulent palaces, and some lovely lakeside beaches fringed with lush sub-tropical plants. Spend your days soaking up the Mediterranean-like climate by trying an array of watersports, or ferry hopping from town to town. From the bustling historic town of Bellagio to the small peaceful resort of Varenna, there is plenty of variety to suit any taste and interest.
