Things to Do  

Buy some mushrooms?

Buy some mushrooms?, Lecco

 leics Says:  I was fascinated by this shop.It's actually a butcher's shop, but clearly does a roaring trade in mushrooms (dried and pickled) as well. The dried mushrooms, I noticed, were mainly from Bulgaria rather than Italy, but I thought the advice about how to keep them was very... 

Find the rest of the castle....

Find the rest of the castle...., Lecco

 leics Says:  There are some rather impressive castle walls still remaining, along with a filled-in and grassed moat, but you'll have to seek them out.From the railway station walk to the right, up Via Montello. Hopefully, you'll be able to spot the walls.They date from the 1300s, I... 

Explore some alleyways.

Explore some alleyways., Lecco

 leics Says:  I did find some little alleyways around Piazza Roma which gave me a taste of what Medieval Lecco might have been like.Some stepped, some cobbled, some leading to unexpected small squares (one still with its own well). Worth a wander round to see what you can see. You never... 

Seek out Torre Viscontana

Seek out Torre Viscontana, Lecco

 leics Says:  It won't be particularly easy, and you won't be able to get inside.Look to the far north-west of Piazza Roma...you'll see part of a Medieval tower. Wander along the lakeside wand seek out its other sides...you'll find just a tiny part exposed.All the rest of the tower is... 

Wander the lakeside

Wander the lakeside, Lecco

 leics Says:  To be fair, Lecco has created quite a pleasant lakeside promenade space, with tree and playgrounds and superb views across and along Lake Como.My day was grey and grim and overcast but in bright sunshine I'm sure the views would have been even more stunning.Worth a wander...

Caffe’ & Caffe’: coffe lover's delight, Lecco

Risotrante-Pizzeria Acquario: Lakeside Aquarium

Risotrante-Pizzeria Acquario: Lakeside Aquarium, Lecco

 Graceful Says:  Its the percfect example of your basic italian pizzeria and food, only it offers a nice view of the lake (although there is a road between the dehor and the actual lakeside). Good food at good prices, only you have to walk a bit along the lungo lago (lakeside road), which...

Caffè Bovara: Underground Cave

Caffè Bovara: Underground Cave, Lecco

 Graceful Says:  looks like a basic cafe'/bar from the outside, but inside and downstairs, you can see the natural beauty, inside its a rustic style "brick and cave" locale. During the day, lots of students grab lunch here, but its also a nice place to have a drink in the evening

Warnings Or Dangers  

Agressive swans

Agressive swans, Lecco

 Aurorae Says:  Swans aren't nearly as naive as they seem. If they are in the bad mood, or disturbed in their activity, they are very agressive and love to scream and fight! They rise up and start swaying their wings, screaming and showing their sharp teeth! They can run fast and you better...

wind, Lecco

 Aurorae Says:  Sometimes on the lake there is a very powerful wind, that makes it impossible almost to walk! It doesn't happen so often, but when it does, it's lethal! However, then the lake looks so beautiful with all the waves and the noise of the wind and water. Only the seagulls dare...
