Menaggio is ideally located to enjoy all parts of the lake, by boat, car or bus which can all be found in the centre of the village. Bellagio is just a short boat ride across the lake, famous for its paintings, silk and leather. Villa Carlotta with its majestic gardens, Villa balbianello, lakeside scenery par excellence and Villa Gaeta (as seen in the james bond movie,2006) are all close by.
Como city with its gothic 14th century cathedral and pretty piazzas is well worth a visit, don't miss Alessandra Volta's musuem, lauded for his invention of electricity back in 1801. Milan for history (Leonardo Da Vinci's last supper painting), football, fashion and formula one (monza) is 1 and a 1/2 hours away. Switzerland is close to the border (30 mins by car).. San Moritz is just 2 hours away.
