Lake Como in Lombardy, Northern Italy, is not ideal for swimming because it is a lake with deep areas, plus moss settles along the shore. Even though not the best, there are sections along the 47 km stretch of the lake where swimming is possible.
Lake Como is Italy’s third largest lake, 50km from one end to the other and shaped like a wishbone, with Como city at the bottom of the left fork, and a string of towns, villages, opulent palazzos and gardens along the lakefront. A boat trip on the lake is one of the top things to do in Como, with lots of different options to choose from.IPId.
