在米兰的北边50公里的地方，有一个阿尔卑斯山脉的冰川湖，是意大利的第三大湖，它就是科莫湖。从米兰中央火车站乘坐火车一小时即可达到。科莫湖的一周全是风景宜人的小镇，东岸到西岸最主要的交通方式是乘坐渡船，在北方湖口的地方有一座夸湖大桥连接东西岸。我个人认为越往北边的小镇风景更好，因为离阿尔卑斯山更近，抬头见雪山，低头见绿水。如果不是专门去科莫湖度假，不推荐在科莫住宿，可以住在米兰，当天来回。如果时间充足，可以约上几个朋友一起，租一个湖边的小院，在这里住上几天，早上去爬山，下午去开船，晚上在院子里可烧烤，远离城市的快节奏，逍遥自在几天。
温馨提示：从米兰到科莫的火车一个小时一班，从早到晚都有；科莫的小镇上应有尽有，也有大型超市，不用吃的喝的从米兰背；租船提前预约，可以便宜很多；镇子上有很多整套公寓和老的别墅在booking都可以订到，不建议住宾馆。
50 km from the north of Milan, there is an Alpine glacier lake, it is the third largest lake in Italy, it is Lake Como. It costs about one hour by train from Milan Central Railway Station. Around Lake Como, there are many pleasant towns one by one on the lakeside, if you want go from East Coast to the west , the most important ways of transport is to take a ferry. In the northern part of the lake, there is a bridge connect the East and West Bank. I personally think that the more beautiful towns are located in the north side of the lake, because they are more close to the Alps, you can see the mountains are covered by the snow even during summer. If you are not specifically go to Lake Como for vacation, I do not recommend you live in Como since it is more expensive, you can stay in Milan, just spend one day walk around in Como. However, If your time is enough, you can call a few friends together, rent a small house near the lake, stay here for a few days, you could go to climb the mountain during morning, take the yacht and other water sports during afternoon, at night in the yard you can do the barbecue, enjoying the village life.
Tips: There is train from Milan to Como every one hour ; there are large supermarkets in Como, you do not need to buy food and drink from Milan ; if you do yacht booking in advance, the price is cheap; the town has a lot of apartments and old small houses in the booking website you can find, not recommended to live in the hotel in such beautiful small town.
