Veni Vidi Lago is a lifestyle blog from your local Lake Como friend. I want you to skip all the tourist traps, find the hidden gems, and live like a local.
Hi, I'm Simona! First time I visited Lake Como, I made all the possible mistakes: got in the most tourist trap restaurants, visited only the Como city, came in at the hottest month... I still fell in love with this place, but only after moving to a small town by the Lake Como, I have discovered the real magic of it. I made it my mission to help people to travel better, avoid tourist traps and have the best possible local experiences. I have been advising visitors for quite a while now! Below you will find hidden gems, best hotel stays, restaurants, activities, transport hacks, and unfiltered moments from life in Lake Como. If you're planning a trip or just daydreaming, you're in good company here. Start with downloading my free full 1-day guide above, scroll down to see the blog posts on the frequently asked questions, or sign up for my weekly local newslettert. Let's live that Italian dream!
