Menaggio is located at the mouth of the Val Menaggina, at the point where the bifurcation of the Regina state road to Porlezza and Switzerland starts.

Its panoramic position, the mild climate, the splendid lakefront with well-kept flower beds and ancient trees attract a large number of tourists, who love to stroll in the historic center and stop in the central square, bordered by shops and cafes, where city life pulsates.
