avatarpicture eastonboyer THE BEST REVIEW
Must See : Go there! Place with spectacular view cut from the Italian-Swiss border with a view that on clear days spreads spectacularly across the Alps. Normally you can also see Lake Maggiore, just to understand the extent. I recommend leaving the car at the lower parking lot and do the last stretch on foot, pleasant walk plus car in the shade!

Church of San Gottardo Full review
avatarpicture noahritchenko THE BEST REVIEW
Just Amazing : Mostly liked the bell tower of the church. Inside - the remains of an ancient fresco. If you are in the Duomo museum - visit because it is on a sightseeing trail and the entrance is paid. If you do not want to go to the museum - just look out of the street.

The road from Como to Tremezzo Full review
avatarpicture stephaneretra THE BEST REVIEW
Must See : This is the best way to get around the lake. Parking is a nightmare. Hoping on a taxi and relaxing with great scenery is the best way to enjoy a long day hopping from village to village. Great place indeed.

avatarpicture noahritchenko THE BEST REVIEW
Best of nature and great views that we fell in love with : Located on the banks of Lake Como, Monte Bisbino is a great place if you like to go hiking or even biking. The climb can be tiring, so be sure to get your walking shoes. Get to the top and enjoy the best of the view, where one side you'll have the views of Italy and on the other side it's Switzerland.

avatarpicture ethannorid THE BEST REVIEW
Can't Ask For More: Beautiful basilica. On the day we went (last day in December) they had a life-size crib inside the cathedral. There are also large tapestries hanging all along the aisles. Outside is just as interesting as they project lights on the walls of all the buildings around the church. Magical.

Exciting Place : Church with a beautiful facade, the interior is beautiful but not as beautiful as the facade. Visits by reservation. There is no mass in it. Fortunately, I managed to get inside :).

Brilliant Experience : Beautiful gardens. I was expecting something bigger but I guess there is not that much space but the whole area is lovely. Easy to go have a look around and then you can pop back into town for brunch and a glass of vino.
