It is situated at the end of the south eastern branch of Lake Como.<br /><br /><span id="goog_1698374791"></span><span id="goog_1698374792"></span><br /><br /><table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="float: left; margin-right: 1em; text-align: left;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-84yG65ONA0Q/Tg9jCtjwYOI/AAAAAAAAAAM/mZUR7XY_wpg/s1600/116.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" height="640" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-84yG65ONA0Q/Tg9jCtjwYOI/AAAAAAAAAAM/mZUR7XY_wpg/s640/116.JPG" width="480" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">View of Lecco from the lakeside</td></tr></tbody></table><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div>The towns setting is stunning, with the crisp, clear blue water of Lake Como at it's base, and the green, rugged mountains behind. The town itself is full of shops, cafe's and bars, and there are plenty of things to do and places to see.<br /><br />You can walk along the shore of the lake and sit under the shade of the trees. Boats offer cruises around the lake, and there are several different destinations, although Bellagio is highly recommended (see post on Bellagio). The views from the boat are stunning (see below) and it is by far the best way to see the area.<br /><br />Lecco itself is an attractive town, with plenty of history and beautiful architecture.<br /><br /><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-310q3mh2M_Y/Tg9jNDKrXlI/AAAAAAAAAAQ/Q3-yKccIDoU/s1600/118.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" height="300" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-310q3mh2M_Y/Tg9jNDKrXlI/AAAAAAAAAAQ/Q3-yKccIDoU/s400/118.JPG" width="400" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Small harbour on the Lake with Lecco in the background</td></tr></tbody></table><br /><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-hTPzlBiCDWc/Tg9jXfh2Y8I/AAAAAAAAAAU/9Yb_r1yMyEM/s1600/119.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" height="640" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-hTPzlBiCDWc/Tg9jXfh2Y8I/AAAAAAAAAAU/9Yb_r1yMyEM/s640/119.JPG" width="480" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">The small cobbled streets of Lecco</td></tr></tbody></table><br /><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-XuPitjsyNIM/Tg9jp-lvXRI/AAAAAAAAAAY/sFMtoa9qAuQ/s1600/122.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" height="640" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-XuPitjsyNIM/Tg9jp-lvXRI/AAAAAAAAAAY/sFMtoa9qAuQ/s640/122.JPG" width="480" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">The small streets are better suited to bikes and mopeds than cars</td></tr></tbody></table><br /><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-HavsNf4HdTE/Tg9j0STaubI/AAAAAAAAAAc/hvcU36oMNSk/s1600/123.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" height="300" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-HavsNf4HdTE/Tg9j0STaubI/AAAAAAAAAAc/hvcU36oMNSk/s400/123.JPG" width="400" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">The best way to explore Lecco is on foot or by bike, allowing you to find some of the old architecture of the town</td></tr></tbody></table><br /><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-C83elP-RqoU/Tg9j9x9h_KI/AAAAAAAAAAg/Frepe07Gd0A/s1600/128.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" height="300" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-C83elP-RqoU/Tg9j9x9h_KI/AAAAAAAAAAg/Frepe07Gd0A/s400/128.JPG" width="400" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">From the small streets, it is possible to reach the shores of the lake in minutes</td></tr></tbody></table><br /><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-eCTwzaLVVFk/Tg9kL3NxpGI/AAAAAAAAAAk/TIxQDfAN7Qg/s1600/140.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" height="300" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-eCTwzaLVVFk/Tg9kL3NxpGI/AAAAAAAAAAk/TIxQDfAN7Qg/s400/140.JPG" width="400" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Lake Como is perfectly suited to watersports and boat trips are highly recommended</td></tr></tbody></table><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8673989589957045645-8241708993126681339?l=whynotvisit.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Mattnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8673989589957045645.post-70037884158195948342011-07-02T18:25:00.000+01:002011-07-02T18:25:49.416+01:00Hey there! Welcome to <i>Why Not Visit. </i>My name is Matt, and I love travelling. So far, my voyages have taken me around Europe, but I hope to add other continents to the list soon!<br /><br />Through this blog, I hope to share some of my amazing experiences around the world, and hopefully inspire other people to travel and explore these places for themselves. So whether you are interested in travelling, looking for a great holiday destination, or somewhere off the beaten track, you've come to the right place! Enjoy...<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8673989589957045645-7003788415819594834?l=whynotvisit.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Mattnoreply@blogger.com0
