Really good ice-cream, both the cones on the go and the cups which you can enjoy sitting at a table. Parking can be a bit tricky, but it's worth the effort.

A must see during your stay in Lake Como, the drive here from land can be busy and difficult on the very narrow road. A good tip is to drive to Varenna, also worth a visit on the opposite side of the lake (easily reachable via motorway), and either take your car accross the lake on the ferry (cutting the drive in half) or ride the boat to Bellagio for a visit and then return to Varenna.

Great place for sitting on the lake beach. The water is clear and nice little fishes swim up to you.
Since the beach has pebbles (even in water) the best way to enjoy is when you have some footwear on.
