My highlight: You can take a small boat from Bellagio to Varenna, which is comparable to Bellagio in terms of beauty, just less well known with less tourists. A great time to go is In the early evening, watching the sun go down across the lake. You can have dinner in Varenna, and then catch the last boat back.
