Varenna, Lake Como, Italy

Varenna is one of those magical, beautiful villages along the shores of Lake Como in northern Italy. The lakefront setting gives it a marvelous ambiance with the pedestrian walkway and cafes right along the waterfront terrace, where you could have a delicious meal at one of several restaurants featuring that classic Italian cuisine and fresh fish right out of the lake or get some rich gelato from this gelateria inside an ancient stone arcade.

Beautiful place 👏🏻👏🏻👍🏻
So beautiful off season. Thank you for showing us 'the other half' and a different mood.
I was in Como in September of 2022 for the day from Milano. Easy to get there by train. Definitely a must see.
I have been looking forward to your Varenna vid. after watching your Bellagio vid. Once again Dennis you have covered much more than I have ever seen from Other Vlogs. No one else has mentioned the lovely gardens to the south of Varenna. Thank you again Dennis. Max. Australia.

Glad you enjoyed it, and those gardens!
Well presentation ❤
If you love nature you should visit Cascate di Acquafraggia e Val di Mello, one of the most beautiful alpine valleys. Both places are situated over the lake, about 30 km far from Colico.
You always make great videos :)
I'm born in Como now living in UK... Missing home despite I was there last week.... ❤
Good to see you again Dennis 👍🏻
Great video on Varenna! We were there in late October of 2022 as well. It would have been amazing to bump into you. Love all your travel videos. Varenna is very well represented here.

Welcome aboard, you will love Italy!
Wow
Varebba us wibderful. A good choice to get over jet lag for your trip to Italy. Just fly into Milan, catch a train that let's you off right on the edge of twon and then just chill out, hop on an off the ferries, eat, relax, repeat. Then you'll be ready to dive into the more intense parts of your trip to Italy!
Ја запознав и Варена.. Ви благодариме.. ❤
You should definitely visit Middelburg, Groningen and Hoorn if you're gonna return to the Netherlands in the future
Hello where do you take the bus to get to orrido di bellano in varenna?
We will be visiting in late September and I’m so excited. Do you recommend booking trains and ferries in advance? Also, I’m curious if reservations for dinner are recommended.

It should be fine, a bit cold, but not crowded.
When was this videotaped? We are hearing of issues with a land slide on May 19, 2023?

filmed October 2022, now recent floods have done some damage to a tunnel, which was along the road SP 72 in Varenna on the Lecco shore of Lake Como.
what do you think about Italy's complaints about OVERTOURISM and its related problems...

They are valid. Rome, Florence and Venice are crazy during the high season. Go in the winter! There are many other fine places to see, which is why I made my website: townsofeurope.com/index.html
