Varenna Essentials

The best of Varenna fits into one unhurried day. Walk the lakeside path from the ferry pier to the main square, with its two medieval churches. Visit the long lakeside gardens of Villa Monastero, then climb to Vezio Castle for the view over the centre of the lake. A short walk south leads to the spring of the Fiumelatte, one of Italy's shortest rivers.

Historic Churches

Varenna’s religious architecture spans several centuries, featuring the 11th-century Romanesque San Giovanni Battista and the 13th-century San Giorgio. These sites preserve significant medieval frescoes, 16th-century polyptychs, and Baroque stucco work. The collection includes central parish buildings in Piazza San Giorgio and the isolated San Pietro in Ortanella, providing a comprehensive view of the stone masonry and spiritual history of the Lake Como region.

Historic Sites

Varenna was a fortified fishing village in the Middle Ages. Vezio Castle still watches over it from the hill, and the old squares keep the shape of the medieval village. South along the shore, Lierna has its own small castle hamlet on a point in the lake.

Scenic Walks and Gardens

Varenna’s waterfront is defined by a network of stone-paved squares and scenic pathways along Lake Como. This route includes the Passerella degli Innamorati, a red metal walkway suspended over the water, and the extensive botanical gardens of Villa Monastero, which stretch nearly two kilometers. Historic centers like Piazza San Giorgio feature medieval architecture, while the local marinas provide access to the lake's ferry network and traditional boat moorings.

Stunning Viewpoints

Varenna offers several elevated locations providing panoramic views of Lake Como's central branch. The medieval Castello di Vezio features 11th-century ruins and a permanent falconry center overlooking the water. Nearby, the Hotel Eremo Gaudio, a former hermitage built into the cliffside, is accessible via a funicular. For hikers, the Baluardo lookout and the 863-meter summit of Monte Fopp provide distinct perspectives of the Bellagio promontory and the surrounding Grigne mountains.
