Traveler photos and experiences

🇮🇹 ขับรถรอบ Lake Como บนเส้นทางที่สนุกเกินคาด

For four days, we spent our time driving along Lake Como, surrounded by stunning Alpine mountain views. The sunlight reflecting off the water's surface in the mornings and evenings created a particularly beautiful and enchanting scene. Along the way, we passed through many small villages, stopping to admire the scenery, strolling along the lake, and experiencing the simple way of life of the people in each town. The pastel-colored houses lining the lakeside added to the lake's charm. Each town had its own unique character and atmosphere, making the journey interesting every step of the way. For us, Lake Como was another route that offered fun and excitement throughout. Every curve and every village we drove through offered different scenery, making the drive around the lake anything but boring. Caution: The road around the lake is quite narrow, in some sections very narrow, with numerous continuous curves, including some steep and sharp turns. Drivers should exercise extra caution, especially during holidays or peak season when traffic is heavy. Also, parking in each town is limited and usually costs money.

🏔️💙 Lecco — Lake Como’s underrated gem 🇮🇹

When people think of Lake Como, they often picture Bellagio, Varenna or Como. But on the southeastern branch of the lake, Lecco offers a completely different experience — and it deserves much more attention. ✨ Surrounded by dramatic Alpine mountains and sitting right on the shores of Lake Como, Lecco combines spectacular nature with authentic Italian city life. 🌊🏔️ Take a walk along the lakeside promenade, explore the historic center, enjoy an espresso in one of the cafés and simply admire the mountains rising directly behind the city. The atmosphere feels relaxed and local, especially compared with some of the lake’s more famous destinations. 🥾 For nature lovers, Lecco is also an excellent starting point for hiking in the surrounding mountains. The iconic Resegone dominates the skyline, while trails around the area offer incredible panoramic views over the lake and the Alps. 📸 My tip: visit around sunset and walk along the waterfront. As the mountains turn golden and the lake becomes perfectly calm, you understand why this corner of Lombardy is so special. ❤️ If you’re exploring northern Italy, don’t just pass through Lecco on your way to Lake Como’s famous villages. Stop here and discover its quieter, more authentic side. 👉 Would you choose Lecco over the more famous towns of Lake Como? #Lecco #LakeComo #Lombardy #Italy #HiddenItaly #NorthernItaly #ItalianLakes #LakeComoItaly #VisitItaly #ItalyTravel #TravelItaly #OffTheBeatenPath #Tripcom

Life Between the Mountains and the Lake: My Lecco Story 🏔️💙

Living in Lecco feels like having a front-row seat to one of northern Italy’s best-kept secrets. Nestled right between dramatic Alpine mountains and the tranquil waters of Lake Como, it’s a town that instantly slows you down in the best way possible. What I love most about daily life here is the balance. You can spend your mornings walking along the lake promenade with a espresso in hand, hike up Mount Resegone on the weekends for breathtaking views, and still enjoy a calm, tight-knit community vibe that never feels overwhelmed by tourist crowds. It’s small enough that you quickly bump into familiar faces, yet vibrant enough to keep you inspired every day. If you appreciate nature, fresh air, and a peaceful everyday pace surrounded by stunning landscapes, Lecco truly feels like home. #lecco #lakecomo #italy #dailylife #livinginitaly #howislivingthere

The Riverside Marathon: 18km Along Lake Garlate

Trekking the full loop of Lake Garlate (Lago di Garlate) is the ultimate way to experience the industrial and natural soul of the Adda Valley. Just south of Lecco, this 18km circuit is a journey through Manzoni’s landscapes, where the mountains seem to dip their toes directly into the water. I spent my day on the Ciclabile dei Laghi, a well-paved path that keeps the lake on one side and the dramatic peaks of Mount Resegone on the other. Crossing the Ponte Azzone Visconti felt like walking through history, while the stretch through the Olginate wetlands offered a sudden, quiet burst of nature. Whether I was stopping for a quick espresso in the sleepy village of Pescate or admiring the silk-making history at the Abbadia Cerchiari, the constant lake breeze made every kilometer feel effortless. It’s a rhythmic, scenic challenge that rewards you with ever-changing views of the Lecco skyline. #italy #travel2026 #thingstodo #travel2026

🇮🇹 Head to Lake Lecco, where tranquility and romance meet 🌿

Located in Lombardy, northern Italy, **Lake Lecco** is a peaceful lakeside town located southeast of the famous Lake Como. Away from the hustle and bustle of the tourist areas, you can experience the laid-back atmosphere of locals. ✨ The scenery of the surrounding Alps reflected on the water's surface is like a painting. Spend a stroll along the lakeside or feel the breeze while sipping an espresso at a cafe. ☕ It's a place where time seems to pass slowly. It's about an hour by train from Milan, making it perfect for a day trip. 🚆 Recommended for those seeking quiet relaxation with fewer tourists. 🌤 📍 Address: Lecco, Lombardia, Italy 🚆 Access: Approximately an hour from Milano Centrale Station to Lecco Station. 🕒 Recommended Time: Morning to evening golden hour (the light reflects beautifully on the lake. ✨) 💬 More tranquil than Lake Como, this place blends nature and local life. Just relaxing by the lakeside left me feeling so much lighter. 🍃 #TravelAdvice

Lake Como journey

A short trip to lake Como. We stayed in a Lecco hostel and as such used Lecco as our base, spending a day in Lecco alone - then the next in Como/Nesso. I found Lecco to be a quieter alternative to Como with it being less touristy and just as beautiful, would very much recommend. However of course, Como itself was unreal. Nesso (a small village along the coast of the lake) was just the icing on the cake with its famous bridge you just have to jump off. #travel #como #italy

Lake Como

visited lake como in November 2023, I wouldn’t recommend going at that time of the year as we experienced a lot of rain, nonetheless it was still a beautiful place, with lots to do! We went to Bellagio and Varenna by ferry, which was super easy to use and both places were breathtaking

Milan Cathedral

Have been multiple times, it's worth returning once in a while. Stunning cathedral and view

Piazza del Duomo

The place is iconic and always crowded. There is a secret metro exit that helps you create a trend video going upstairs and looking at the Duomo. There are always a lot of pigeons as well so be careful )

Ekaterina Kolesnikova

Villa del Balbianello

It takes about 2 km to travel to the bus stop and the pier. It's beautiful, but the entrance fee is expensive, about 900 baht. Actually, every place in Tomo is beautiful. Don't forget to check the boat schedule and opening and closing times.

Santa Maria delle Grazie
