>To travel and walk around Lake Como, especially in the little towns, comfortable shoes are a must.

>There are many public drinking-water fountains in the little towns, and the water is safe to drink unless stated otherwise. Tap water is also drinkable. You can carry your own refillable bottle!

>If you are looking for an easy hike in the area and want to enjoy mountain views anyway, Lake Como Greenway is an easy-to-follow trail that doesn\'t require too much walking uphill. The Greenway connects the lakeside towns from Colonno to Griante and goes through Ossuccio. Look for signs indicating Greenway in the area!

>From Ossuccio, you can take the taxi-boat to Isola Comacina.

>In Italy, many shops (especially the little ones) and services are closed in the middle of the day, so be careful to plan your shopping accordingly.

>Lake Como is one of the deepest lakes in Europe and the deepest in Italy. Swimming and diving are prohibited in many areas and can be dangerous. For those who wish to dwell in the water, however, there are some options. In the near vicinity, there is Lido di Ossuccio and Lido di Lenno. In other little towns, there are more tiny beaches and lakeside bars. Lido di Bellagio and pebbly San Giovanni beach will be waiting for those who wish to cross the waters and explore the beautiful town of Bellagio. Locals and visitors also enjoy traveling to Nesso on the other coast where the bravest swimmers can jump into the lake from the ancient Roman bridge near the waterfall.

>Lake Como is located in a mountainous region.
