Time stands still in the Italian village of Varenna on Lake Como. Varenna is best known for its historic buildings, including the 14th-century Gothic Romanesque Church of San Giorgio in the Piazza San Giorgio. The church is home to many of the most famous 15th and 16th religious paintings in Italy and is also made from local marble. There are also a boutique and artisan shops to visit along the cobblestoned streets, a lake promenade that leads to the boat landing and ferry station. The Villa Monastero Botanical Garden and Museum are also popular with tourists along with the Village Cipressi, which is surrounded by gardens all the way to the shores of Lake Como. Varenna
