"5⭐️ Hidden Gem with Postcard Views of Lecco
Lungolago di Malgrate is a quiet, scenic spot with unbeatable views across the lake toward Lecco and the dramatic mountains behind it. It’s peaceful, clean, and rarely crowded — perfect for a relaxing lakeside moment.
From here, you get amazing sunrise and sunset views, and watching the city lights of Lecco reflect on the water in the evening is magical.
📸 One of the best spots for photos if you want natural beauty without the crowds."

"It was a delightful experience for me and my husband and friends to be in this amazing place. I love the view of this beautiful lake and i watched sunset here. Also it is a suitable place for walking and running. Or you can just seat on the chair and watch lake and think about everything. Because it is a quiet and peaceful place."
Tahira Zakeri
"Great park along the lake. There are some restrictions, see images of signs. There is parking along the road with entrances for both directions, and what appears to be multiple boat launches as well. Great views of the lake for picnics or just relaxing on the benches. Despite signs indicating it is absolutely forbidden to swim, we saw people in the water, either to just cool off, or to splash around a bit. There were some porta-potties, both full and without TP. The playground looked nice."
