Chronicles of Lecco
Lecco, a city with a rich history dating back to the Roman era, has evolved significantly over the centuries. The town's strategic location on the shores of Lake Como led to its growth as a significant commercial centre, and its industrial heritage is still visible in the old textile mills and factories. In the 19th century, Lecco became a hub for the Italian Risorgimento movement, and its historic centre features many buildings from this period. Today, Lecco is a charming blend of medieval and industrial architecture, with a lively cultural scene and stunning lake views.

Your Perfect Room
✨ AI-generated · Jul 2026Before you check in to La Filanda, here's what to know about choosing the right room.
Best rooms to request
Request a room on a higher floor (4th or 5th) to minimize noise from the street and the nearby town's evening activity. These floors are also likely to have a more consistent, strong Wi-Fi signal.
Rooms to avoid

Top Attractions in Lecco
💡 Go early in the morning when the light hits the basilica’s facade and the square is quiet. The public benches near the fountain let you soak it in without buying coffee.
💡 Climb the campanile for €3 (one of the few costs) — the view over the lake and the Alps is excellent and rarely crowded.
💡 Look up at the frescoed dome — it shows a trompe-l'œil sky with cherubs, painted by Luigi Tagliaferri in 1903. Visit late afternoon when sunlight comes through the west window and hits the altar.
💡 The bell tower climb is worth the fee – 184 steps get you a rooftop view across the whole lake basin. Go at 11am to hear the full carillon. No lift.
💡 Walk the section between the Valsassina ferry dock and the Canottieri Lecco rowing club — it’s quieter, with fewer bikes and better mountain reflections on the water.
💡 Arrive at 7am when the light hits the mountains and few tourists are about. The market sets up here every Saturday morning.
💡 Walk south past the sailboat marina in late afternoon — the light hits the Grigna mountains perfectly, and you'll find fewer tourists.
💡 Check the basement first — the fossil fish from the Bergamo limestone are genuinely impressive, and most tourists skip it. Free entry always, not just special days.
