On the shores of Lake Como sits Menaggio, a charming lakeside town. Enjoy a walk along the lakeside promenade lined with palm trees and filled with an array of colour thanks to the abundance of flowers that have been planted and the painted houses behind. Or take a rest at one of the cafes in the central Piazza Garibaldi and watch life pass by.
Or perhaps you might prefer to wander along the Via Calvi and enjoy the wares for sale in the many boutiques and shops that line the street. Or if you want to discover more, head further up the hill to the upper part of town characterised by narrow alleyways and steep staircases to the Via Strecium where you will find the picturesque bridge over the Senagra river and discover the sound of the waterfall below.
While many travelers would recommend a visit to one of the world’s greatest metropolises, a trip to a quaint town is the perfect antidote to those 21st-century blues.
