Varenna Day Trips From Milan

Travel in comfort from Milan to Lake Como, with stops in the medieval village of Varenna and the town of Bellagio

Fishermen founded Varenna in AD 769 on Lake Como's eastern shore, about 60 km (37 miles) north of Milan, and the village still holds onto that medieval character today. This small-group day trip gets you there without driving, with time to climb to Castello di Vezio for lake views or wander the gardens at Villa Monastero, a former Cistercian monastery. The same tour crosses the lake to Bellagio, so you see two of Como's best-known towns in a single 10-hour outing from Milan.
