Eurotrip around Interlaken

1. Como, Italy

Lake Como is worth a detour. Between the beauty of its landscapes and the Italian Dolce Vita, you are probably wondering what to see and what to do at Lake Como. A popular tourist destination, Lake Como offers wonderful mountain landscapes bathed in blue and green waters as well as prestigious villages such as Varenna or Bellagio. An easy and must-see destination during your Eurotrip from Interlaken

A few days are enough to visit Lake Como. The ideal duration in my opinion is 3 full days on-site. This will allow you both to take the time to enjoy the landscapes, but also not to get bored.

Como is the main city of the region and overlooks all of Lake Como. It is a small medieval town where you can visit many historical monuments and where the streets have kept their charm of yesteryear. In particular, do not miss Piazza Cavour: a former marsh, it is now the main square of the city. You will find many bars and restaurants there as well as the best ice cream parlor in the region (Cavour Gelateria). Another point of interest in the city of Como: is its Duomo, which is one of the most important Gothic churches in northern Italy. It took 400 years to build Como Cathedral.

Definitely, a place to visit during your journey in Europ. The architectural style of the city oscillates between the rococo of the 18th century and the neo-classicism of the 19th century. This city was marked by the presence of the Wittelsbachs, who left as traces the castle of Nymphenburg (their summer residence) but also the palace of the residence which is located in the heart of the city.
