6 villages for an aperitif with a view

Overlooking rivers and lakes and framed by mountains, Lombardy offers many charming locations to rediscover the historical and cultural gems set in the landscape.

 

The villages, above all, are perfect destinations for a day trip that are all about immersion in local history and traditions. Exploring the landscape becomes an experience in company, to be concluded with an aperitif at sunset, to fully experience the panoramas of the region. 

From the mysterious charm of the Pyramids of the Curone Valley in Montevecchia, to the scenic waterfalls of Nesso, just a few kilometres from Como, to the views that inspired Leonardo Da Vinci on the Adda River, each place has its own history that makes it a treasure just waiting to be discovered. This itinerary recommends some of the most charming villages in the region for lovely summer walks. Please remember to respect the land and the community to preserve this natural beauty.
