About this episode
For those of you who can only visit Lago di Como at the height of the tourist season, which is basically all summer long, we will share tips with you of how to avoid the crowds.
There are several lesser-known villages that are worthy of a walk about and small enough that you can enjoy lunch with the locals. You can also hike from village to village on the medieval foot paths that line the lake, providing views that will stop you in your tracks.
Even choosing which ferry to take, can help you dodge the most crowded boats. The allure of the lake is best seen by boat, so knowing from where and when to take a boat, will make your stay in Lago di Como as special as you hoped for, even in late July.
