of Como (about 2 kilometers round trip)<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">1- Start at the sumptuous <strong>Villa Olmo<\/strong> (free tour) on the shores of the lake, with the option of visiting the interior and gardens.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">2 &#8211; Then walk along the waterfront to <strong>Piazza Cavour<\/strong> (about 10 minutes walk). Take the opportunity to gaze at the boats, dreaming yourself aboard one of them and enjoying the beautiful views over the lake.  <\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">3- Next, you can visit the imposing Gothic <strong>Cathedral of Santa Maria<\/strong> <em>Assunta<\/em>(begun in 1396 and completed in 1770). We recommend you enter the cathedral to admire the architecture and the many stained-glass windows.  <br\/><br\/>Then take the shopping street.
