Fun things to do in Lecco: 12 fun attractions and activities

Good museum

So beautiful and interesting 💛

Center of Lecco is worth visiting each alley and street, BELLISSIMA

Very nice museum, full of interesting art pieces

A great recent renovation has created a modern and very functional multi story exhibition centre in the very heart of town. Very helpful and knowledgeable staff too.

Good To Visited There

Good muzeum

We got in with the Fai Associate discount, they have a nice archive of adaptations for the “Betrothed” and a mini cinema with vintage chairs but honestly it felt a bit empty.

Great museum for kids. The mammoth at the entrance will leave any kids amazed. Nicely presented but it needs a bit of upkeeping and modernization.

Beautiful Villa, but I never heard before about Manzoni. Dont tell the italian if you dont know Manzoni, he was somebody really important in Lecco.

Interesting visit, but it would be nice if there was a little bookstore with works by Manzoni.

Very nice, I was expecting a little more inside

Very nice place and very nice staff.

Very suggestive place

Amazing climb! At very high place... so if you fear heights... its still the place to go! 200m climb by stairs. We came here from Lecco by walk. 12km trip which ended to train station. (If ya come here by feey you should use train. Only 1,8e ticket.)

Beautiful place, majestic view. It's a long and tiresome climb, but it's rewarding. Of course, a wheelchair can't climb up the mountain, but that's normal if you consider the age of the stairs.

A beautiful place for an energetic but peaceful day out.

Short hike and definitely offers amazing views of towns near lake como and river adda. Level: Easy

Not much of a castle, but great hike and wonderful view over Lecco and Adds river valley

Parking - huge parking space in Santuario di San Girolamo Emiliani, then walk few distance to start the path uphill.

Wonderful area! Great views! Nice hike up.

Very realistic memorial of Manzoni. Alessandro Manzoni is the greatest Italian writer of all time, he wrote " I promessi sposi". The statue is over 3 meters tall and is a little worn, but not too much. If you're passing by, I raccomand you take a look.

Basic statue but nice.

Good monument

Nice monument of a very important Italian writer, wouldn't come to lecco just for this but it's nice to take a look at it

I love how North Italy gives importance about their revolutionary history. Martyrs monuments everywhere in Lecco.

It shows the history from long ago for the poet ..the carvings are very good ...

Good place for afternoon walk. Close to the center of lecco

Suppost to be open since 2, we came at 2, it was close, we came at 2.15, it was close....really?

(Translated by Google) Well-kept ancient tower, with free entry, it was a surprise because we didn't know it could be visited, we also saw a photographic exhibition with the kindness of the photographer who created the latter who illustrated everything to us, thank you very nice, bye Mery (Original) Torre antica ben tenuta , con ingresso gratuito è stata una sorpresa perché non sapevamo che era visitabile , inoltre visto mostra fotografica con la gentilezza del fotografo autore di quest'ultima che ci ha illustrato il tutto , grazie molto bello ciao Mery

(Translated by Google) Of fourteenth-century origin, the tower is probably the oldest building in Lecco. The highest part of the tower was built during the fifteenth century. The tower is all that remains of the triangular-shaped city walls, an integral part of the military fortress. The castle was part of the latter, located in a central position and close to the lake, which was the main entrance gate to the village open towards Milan. It was demolished by Joseph II between 1782 and 1784. On its left side there was a guardhouse, from which one could access the staircase that led to the bastion of the pier, where the sentry box was located, while on the right there was a large warehouse as well as a courtyard for the soldiers. After the restoration of 1816, by the Lecco architect Giuseppe Bovara, the tower was used as a prison (a use recovered from the time of the Spanish domination of the Duchy of Milan) and, starting in 1932, after a further restoration, it was entrusted by the State to the Municipality of Lecco which initially established the Museum of the Risorgimento and Resistance of the city, to later convert it into a venue for temporary exhibitions of the Civic Museums and the Department of Culture of the Municipality of Lecco. On the ground floor, the guardhouse and some stone cannonballs are still visible (Original) Di origine trecentesca, la torre è probabilmente l'edificio lecchese più antico. La parte più alta della torre fu realizzata nel corso del Quattrocento. La torre è tutto ciò che rimane della cinta muraria, a pianta triangolare, parte integrante della piazzaforte militare. Di quest'ultima faceva parte il castello, situato in posizione centrale e a ridosso del lago, che costituiva la principale porta d'ingresso al borgo aperta verso Milano. Esso fu abbattuto da Giuseppe II fra il 1782 e il 1784. Al suo fianco sinistro era presente un corpo di guardia, dal quale si accedeva alla scalinata che portava al bastione del molo, dove era presente la garitta della sentinella, mentre sulla destra si trovava un grande magazzino oltre ad un cortile per i soldati. Dopo la restaurazione del 1816, per opera dell'architetto lecchese Giuseppe Bovara, la torre fu utilizzata come carcere (destinazione d'uso recuperata dal tempo della dominazione spagnola del Ducato di Milano) e, a partire dal 1932, dopo un ulteriore restauro, fu affidata dallo Stato al Comune di Lecco che vi impiantò in un primo momento il Museo del Risorgimento e della Resistenza della città, per convertirla in seguito in sede di mostre temporanee dei Musei Civici e dell'Assessorato alla Cultura del Comune di Lecco. Al piano terreno sono ancora visibili gli alloggi del corpo di guardia e alcune palle di cannone in pietra

(Translated by Google) Unfortunately, I wasn't able to get inside due to the holiday. I admired the building from the outside. I will come back here again and I will definitely come here. (Original) Niestety nie udało mi się dostać do środka ze względu na święto. Budynek podziwiałem z zewnątrz. Gry wrócę tutaj ponownie na pewno zawitam do środka.

(Translated by Google) The times indicated are valid only in the presence of exhibitions. In the absence of exhibitions the tower is closed and not visitable. (Original) Gli orari indicati sono validi solo in presenza di esposizioni. In assenza di esposizioni la torre è chiusa e non visitabile.

(Translated by Google) 07/06/2023 monument closed contrary to indication on the outside and on the official website!!! Post a notice about the non-opening and don't make people wait outside!?!!! nooo too tiring (Original) 06/07/2023 monumento chiuso contrariamente indicato all esterno e sul sito ufficiale!!!Affiggere un avviso sulla mancata apertura e nn fare aspettare la gente fuori!?!!!nooo troppo faticoso

(Translated by Google) I often visit the exhibitions in progress at Torre Viscintea: they are usually free and curious. The exhibition space is not very large but it is always managed in the best way. If you have the opportunity, visit it. The staircase that leads to the entrance is quite suggestive. (Original) Visito spesso le mostre in corso c/o la Torre Viscintea: solitamente sono gratuite e curiose. Lo spazio espisitivo non è molto grande ma viene sempre gestito al meglio. Se avete l'occasione, visitatela. La scala che porta all'ingresso è piuttosto suggestiva.

Such a beautiful place to visit alone, even with his girlfriend or boyfriend I highly recommend to you to visit this city in Italy for some point like the view the food or even the culture in the city, which is absolutely beautiful. There’s even some beautiful pictures that you can take there so it’s not that impressive than Como but I do really recommend you to visit this city !

Lovely little town, definitely worth visiting. We had a walk along the water and some lunch so was there no more than 3 hours. Parking cost around €3.

An amazing lake view promenade and park 😍 absolutely LOVE this natural beauty. Friendly local and user-friendly walking / running tracks. One improvement perhaps to have more public wash rooms and or WC and more drinking water fountains would be great addition to this gorgeous place with the amazing natural beauty surrounding.

5⭐️ Peaceful Promenade with Stunning Mountain Views Lungolago di Lecco is a beautiful and peaceful promenade with breathtaking views of Lake Como and the surrounding mountains. You can clearly see Malgrate just across the lake, making for a postcard-perfect backdrop. It’s never too crowded, even in summer, and offers amazing sunrise and sunset views. Great for a relaxing walk, quiet reflection, or some truly stunning photos. 📸 Highly recommended if you’re looking to enjoy Lake Como without the tourist rush.

A picturesque place with stunning views of the lake and surrounding mountains. The town is charming and perfect for a walk along the waterfront. I'd say it's convenient to reach by train if you’re exploring the Lombardia region. Definitely worth a visit!

Gorgeous area! Very quiet! Definitely would recommend visit!

Closed from train station, little walk to have sun during cold season. Watching duck and bird on the lake eating bread.

Its mostly closed so you cannot really visit. But nice surrondings.

Old remains of the city wall

Good monument

(Translated by Google) This is the only part of the defensive walls still visible, built in the fourteenth century by Azzone Visconti to fortify the village. The walls also incorporated the castle near the lake, of which the Visconti Tower can be admired, even if half hidden by various buildings. The village was also strengthened during the dominion of the Sforza and, subsequently, until the early sixteenth century, the period to which the bastion, which was located at the beginning of the current Via Bovara, dates back. The Spanish, towards the middle of the 16th century, strengthened the fortifications to adapt it to new warfare techniques with the use of artillery. The walls of Lecco were demolished at the end of the eighteenth century, when, under Austrian rule, the castle of Lecco was sold to private individuals. I was pleased to notice that this area has been enhanced in recent years and presented to the attention of tourists with interesting information panels. The black iron shape that portrays Azzone Visconti is a bit minimalist and not very nice to look at. (Original) Si tratta dell'unica parte ancora visibile delle mura difensive, fatte costruire, nel Trecento da Azzone Visconti, per  fortificare il borgo. Le mura inglobavano anche il castello vicino al lago, di cui si può  ammirare, anche se seminascosta da vari edifici, la Torre Viscontea. Il borgo fu potenziato anche durante il dominio degli Sforza e, in seguito, fino ai primi anni del Cinquecento, epoca a cui risale il bastione, che si trovava all'inizio dell'attuale via Bovara. Gli Spagnoli, verso la metà  del XVI secolo rafforzarono le fortificazioni per adeguarlo alle nuove tecniche belliche con uso dell'artiglieria. Le mura di Lecco furono abbattute alla fine del Settecento, quando  sotto il dominio austriaco, il castello di Lecco fu venduto a privati. Ho notato con piacere che quest'area è  stata valorizzata, negli utlimi anni, e presentata all'attenzione dei turisti con interessanti pannelli informativi. Un po' minimalista e poco bella a vedersi la sagoma nera in ferro che ritrae Azzone Visconti.

(Translated by Google) Thanks to the collaboration with the municipality of Lecco and the FAI delegation of Lecco, guided visits are scheduled on a monthly basis to the ramparts and the underground of Lecco which are what remains of the medieval defensive system of the castle of Lecco. 3 towers have been preserved, one of which is this one (the ramparts).

You will find detailed information on Facebook on the Lecco FA delegation page or on Lecco today. It is mandatory to book because it is very popular and the list fills up quickly Unfortunately, given the space is not huge, it is not possible to add extra people It is truly a beautiful curiosity that is little known in Lecco (Original) Grazie alla collaborazione con il comune di Lecco e la delegazione FAI di Lecco mensilmente sono programmate delle visite guidate al vallo delle mura e ai sotterranei di Lecco che sarebbero ciò che rimane del sistema medievale difensivo del castello di Lecco. Si sono conservati 3 torrioni di cui uno è questo ( il vallo delle mura ) le visite partono dalla biblioteca di Lecco e sono su prenotazione.

È obbligatorio prenotarsi perché è molto gettonata e l’elenco si riempie subito Purtroppo visto gli spazi non enormi non si possono aggiungere persone extra È veramente una bella curiosità poco poco conosciuta in quel di Lecco

(Translated by Google) A well-preserved fragment of the old walls. Although to see a really large piece of history, i.e. much larger walls, I recommend going to Bergamo. (Original) Dobrze zachowany fragment starych murów. Choć żeby zobaczyć naprawdę duży kawał historii, a więc dużo okazalsze mury to polecam wybrać się do Bergamo.

(Translated by Google) Very close to the train station, a very spectacular city wall, but there is grassland below, not a moat (Original) 距離火車站很近，非常壯觀的城牆，不過下方是草地不是護城河

Great park located quite high, but easily accessible by car and short walk. The terrace with amazong view to the Como lake surrounded by mountains makes a huge impression. In April it was not crowded. I met only few people on the way.

Breathtaking view. About a 35 minute hike from the nearest parking, with clear signage on which path to follow. For a tourist, the ride up the mountain to the parking area could be a bit scary, so if you’re not into that, it might be best to avoid.

breathtaking views !! gorgeous walk and scenery - we started the walk at Ballabio but there’s a car park with only a 20 minute walk to the platform !! definitely recommend if you’re in the area !! 🤌🏼✨🇮🇹

Scenic spot on an easy trail. We were able to park nearby for free in April and walked 30 minutes up a gentle trail to this viewpoint. We were met with stunning views, and luckily, we visited in the off-season, and there were no queues. Highly recommend visiting this spot to get great photos of Lake Como.

Once in life experience view of the lake and the beautiful mountains chain all around! Easy to each... Once here walk up left like 10-15min to reach a higher view point...

To get there, easiest way is to park car at “Parcheggio Valentino 23821” (search it in Google maps) and the walk is about 30 minutes. Do not put this place for directions as it will take you to bottom of the hill. Amazing views and very low effort, the drive up the hill is a bit tricky if you have big car but should be fine.

A place that offers the best view over Como lake. Some minutes of walking until there but it is easy. Many children can be seen on the way, so no dificulty.

Amazing Views, quite steep, but totally double if you are fit.

Pretty steep but great view at the same time

Perfect place if you can walk uphill. Quite a hike I would say but worth the trip!

Go to Medale, top the Crocione and reach after the rifugio Piazza, for a sandwich and coffee with grappa :-)

Got there with the beautiful "sentiero dei pizzetti" (but check it out before going, it's not for everyone)

it's just super there

Crocione

was absolutely amazing and excellent! Mr. ILJE was incredibly kind, helpful, and truly wonderful—he made the experience even more enjoyable and memorable. At first, I thought the price was a bit high, but after the trip, I can honestly say it was totally worth it. We requested halal food, and they provided us with drinks and light snacks, which was a nice touch. Highly recommended!

Alex took my wife and me on a sunset cruise to dinner while on our honeymoon in Lecco. The booking process was relatively easy before we landed in Italy. Taxi Boat Malgrate even made us a dinner reservation at Crotto del Misto (totally recommend!) to make the logistics easy. Alex stopped and pointed out many of the major villas along the way. Overall this was a very special and romantic evening and I’m so happy we booked with them.

My husband and I had so much fun on the taxi boat in Malgrate—it was one of the highlights of our trip to Lake Como. The ride was smooth and relaxing, and the views of the lake and surrounding mountains were absolutely breathtaking. The boat was very clean and comfortable, and the captain was friendly and professional, making the whole experience even more enjoyable.

(Translated by Google) I honestly think that this is one of the most interesting attractions on Lake Como. A fantastic form of recreation and visiting villas located by the lake. It is the view from the boat that allows you to see these objects in their full glory. The captain eagerly stopped at each of them and told the history of the place. The cruise from Malgrate to Varenna will always remain in my memory as something extraordinary. I recommend. It's worth it! (Original) Myślę tak totalnie szczerze, że to jedna z najciekawszych atrakcji nad jeziorem Como. Rewelacyjna forma rekreacji i zwiedzania willi położonych nad jeziorem. To właśnie widok z lodzi sprawia że można zobaczyć te obiekty w pełnej okazałości. Kapitan chętnie zatrzymywał się przy każdej z nich i opowiadał historię danego miejsca. Rejs z Malgrate do Varenny na zawsze pozostanie w mojej pamięci jako coś niezwykłego. Polecam. Warto!

We booked a 3 hours trip for 2 persons and It was an amazing experience. Special thanks for Alex and Ingrid for their hospitality!

Thank you very much for the best experience! Ilje was amazing! The best and the kindest person!

(Translated by Google) We ordered a personal walk on the Lake (2 passengers). Everything was comfortable. Went on time. Stayed in beautiful places, the captain told about local attractions in understandable English. Well knows the features of his boat, so we have not been so much swing on the waves.

Beautiful place

(Translated by Google) It is a monument that can be admired during a walk along the lakeside of Lecco. It is located in a suggestive setting: the front part has the colors of the lake and the villages overlooking it as a background, the back part has the area with the monument dedicated to Stoppani. A necessary meditation stop. (Original) È un monumento che si può ammirare durante la passeggiata sul lungolago di Lecco. È posto in uno scenario suggestivo: la parte frontale ha come sfondo i colori del lago e dei paesini che si affacciano su di esso, quella sul retro l'area con il monumento dedicato a Stoppani. Una sosta di meditazione necessaria.

(Translated by Google) Almost a century after the foundation of the Lecco group of Italian Sailors, established in 1921 by veterans of the Great War. The monument placed in 1986, facing the lake with a view of the Parè fortress, in the background the Stoppani building and Mount Resegone, also recalls the strong link of the territory with the Badoni industries during the war period. (Original) A quasi un secolo dalla fondazione del gruppo Lecchese dei Marinai d’Italia, costituito nel ‘21 dai reduci della Grande Guerra. Il monumento posato nel 1986, fronte lago con vista sulla rocca di Parè, sullo sfondo l’immobile Stoppani ed il monte Resegone, ricorda inoltre il forte legame del territorio con le industrie Badoni durante il periodo bellico.

(Translated by Google) The monument symbolizes the sacrifices of the sea. It's worth stopping for a moment and looking around. (Original) Pomnik symbolizuje ofiary morza. Warto zatrzymać się na chwilę i rozejrzeć.

(Translated by Google) Nothing special, but nice area around the monument. (Original) Nic specjalnego, ale ładna okolica pomnika.

(Translated by Google) THE MONUMENT IS LOCATED IN PIAZZA STOPPANI BEHIND THE STATUE AND IN FRONT THE LAKE WITH ITS SPLENDID VIEW SYMBOLIZES THE BROTHERS WHO FELL INTO THE SEA (Original) IL MOMUMENTO SI TROVA IN PIAZZA STOPPANI DI DIETRO SI TRIVA LA STATUA E DI FRINTE IL I LAGO CON LA SUA SPLENDIDA VISTA SIMBOLEGGIA I FRATELLI CADUTI NEL MARE

(Translated by Google) Monument on the long lake (Original) Monumento sul lungo lago
