AMAZING LAKES IN ITALY

Not into mountain hikes or hot weather? Northern Italy still has you covered if you stick to its stunning lakes region instead during summer in Italy. Drive or take the train about an hour north of Milan and you’ll reach the bottom-most points of Lake Maggiore and Lake Como. Both have adorable little towns around them that make for an ideal base from which to explore the lake (recommended: Varenna or Menaggio on Lake Como, Stresa on Lake Maggiore). Apart from relaxing and frolicking down cobblestone alleys, definitely take a breezy boat trip around the lake in order to thoroughly admire the gorgeous scenery, and cool off with a dip in the lake or the pool (if your accommodation has one). Frugal Tip: The lakes are super easy to reach by train from Milan and the journey takes about the same time as it does by car. There are ferries and buses that operate around the lakes, so you’re able to explore plenty without having to drive. #historicculture#summervacation
