HIKING
Stunning view of Como and the lake from the top of the hill; would be even better from the tower, but unfortunately it is open at very infrequent times.
From the centre 30/40 minutes on foot or you take the first section by car and park near the basilica of San Carpoforo, the estimated time is 10/15 minutes.

NEARBY ATTRACTIONS
Brunate is known as the Balcony of the Prealps.
To reach Brunate’s terrace settlement, you need to take a funicular from the lakefront’s east end. At the top, you’ll get an encompassing view of the southern part of Lake Como, the villages surrounding it, and mountains in the distance.
You can easily see Volta Lighthouse, another monument dedicated to Alessandro Volta. It’s perched right atop the hill in Brunate. Great spot to take photos, especially if you climb the 143 steps of the Lighthouse :)

This is a natural gorge created 15 million years ago by the erosion of the River Pioverna and the Adda glacier which, over the centuries, have shaped the rock into gigantic potholes, dark ravines and suggestive caves.

The restaurant is situated 1 km away from Bellagio center in the old fishing hamlet of San Giovanni. Not everybody knows that the fishing is still practiced on Lake Como.

€€€ - Careno (15 km from Como).
Traditional recipes, all based on lake fish. The menu is fixed.
The village seems out of time, almost magical.
I advise you to call before going there, because to access the parking lot you have to agree with the restaurant and then the descent is quite demanding, it would be absurd to do it without the certainty of having a table.
The experience is absolutely worth it, especially if you want to try something traditional.
However, not recommended for those with walking difficulties.
