This is where you'll park for your time in Bellagio. Next, you have a walk along the picturesque coast of Lake Como as well as an inspection of local architectural monuments.

Could this be one of the most beautiful walkways in Italy? It's possible! You decide as you stroll along the western side of Bellagio on your way into the old town center.
Along the way, you'll find so many scenic points to stop and gaze with wonder. Enjoy the fantasy of Lake Como and its spectacular beauty!
You'll also pass by the ferry docks and many high-end speciality stores, should you care for a bit of shopping.

Built during the 11th and 12th Centuries, the Basilica of Saint Giacomo resides in the most picturesque area of Bellagio. The church, a national monument, is of Romanesque architecture so popular across Italy and features a prominent bell tower with five different bells.
They ring every hour, so if you're lucky, you'll be able to see and hear them during your visit.
The church is set on a very pretty small square, lined with local shops and gelato stalls, so this is a great place to have a look around.

La Fontanta — Bellagio, in the heart of the old town centre, is the perfect place to relax and enjoy a true Italian meal. The restaurant has a full-service bar, so treat yourself to an apéritif or cocktail.
The kitchen, with its wood-fired pizza oven, serves up amazing pies along with classic dishes such as pasta with carbonara or matriciana sauce. You can also choose delicious chef's specialities, salads or fish dishes.
Reservations are highly suggested.

You might not realize it looking out from the stunning viewpoint of Bellagio, but this lake is seriously huge, nearly 30 miles long and shaped like a giant upside-down letter "Y". With only two hours, you can't see it all, but you will be able to see quite a lot.
The most famous mansions and villas of celebrities and the uber-wealthy are mostly focused around the western shores of Lake Como so this would be a suggested focal point for your self-driving adventure.
The Bellagioa Rent-a-Boat company is highly respected and will safely teach you how to drive your boat — no boat license needed. They can also provide you with a map to help you identify the town, mansions and villas you are seeing.
And if you feel like taking a dip in the lake, go right ahead, the water is waiting for you!
In high season, please reserve your boat 48 hours in advance using the booking form on the website.
