Get Lost In The Bellagio Old Town
There are so many things to do in Bellagio Italy, but this is one of the best ones.
Of course, it is almost impossible to get lost in the old part of Bellagio as there are only two parallel streets, crossed by smaller ones.
From this part of the city, you can get on the ferry and sail to one of the villages on the other side of the lake.
You can also try some delicious Italian food in one of the best restaurants in Bellagio, eventually, buy a slice of takeaway pizza.
Do some shopping, meet locals and learn some Italian words and, above all, take a walk through the atmospheric, Italian streets.
You can also visit the Basilica di San Giacomo, which is located in the heart of this place.
