Parhaat nähtävyydet Varennassa

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.
