#20 Visit Villa Carlotta and its botanical gardens

Villa Carlotta is located in Tremezzo on Lake Como and is named after Princess Carlotta, whose husband George II, Duke of Sachsen-Meiningen, was a keen botanist and turned the park into a landscape garden. Today, more than 500 plants, including exotic and rare ones, can be found here. One of the special features of the villa is undoubtedly the spring flowering of the more than 150 varieties of azaleas and rhododendrons: an explosion of colours that is not to be missed!

The interior of the Villa houses important works of art by Hayez, Canova and Thorvaldsen.
