FIRST TIME TRAVELLING TO MILAN AND LAKE COMO // 4-Day Solo Travel Vlog in Italy

Lago di Como, Italia

Lake Como sits in the foothills of the Alps in Lombardy, northern Italy, stretching roughly 50 kilometres in a distinctive upside-down Y shape. Its deep glacial waters are framed by steep wooded hillsides, pastel-coloured villages, and grand 19th-century villas with terraced gardens — most famously Villa del Balbianello and Villa Carlotta. The lake is easily reached from Milan in under an hour by train.

This vlog follows a solo traveller experiencing both destinations for the first time across four days — expect first impressions of Milan's Duomo and Navigli district alongside ferry rides between Como's lakeside towns like Bellagio, Varenna, and Menaggio. A useful watch for anyone planning a combined city-and-lake itinerary on their own.
