My aunt and uncle were invited to a wedding in Lake Como, but they asked for help creating an itinerary for a few days leading up the wedding. The catch? They wanted non touristy hidden gems. Orta San Giulio enters the chat.
If you want that Italian lake town vibe without the crowds of Como or Garda, this is it. The whole village is an idyllic combination of lakeside ambiance and medieval charm. Think narrow cobblestone streets, stunning lake views, and a magical little island in the middle.
If you're planning Italy, put this on your list.
