Road from Milan to Varenna: Traffic, Photos & Coffee Stops 😎
First fast, then beautiful – but with character
The first part – from Milan to the town of Lecco – is the SS36 highway. Pretty straightforward: you drive fast, no big surprises. About 40–50 minutes, and you’re already at the lake.
Then things get interesting. The road from Lecco to Varenna (SP72) is a classic lakeside road: narrow, winding, lots of curves, and tunnels carved right into the rocks. It’s stunningly beautiful – but it demands attention. That’s why it’s so nice to have a pro driver while you just sit back and enjoy the view.
Where might you get stuck in traffic?
Traffic is mostly seasonal, but here’s where it can get slow:
- SS36 near Monza – weekday mornings (7:30–9:30 AM), when everyone’s commuting to Milan.
- Lecco exit – Friday evenings and Sunday evenings. Classic: people heading to/from the lake for the weekend.
- Lecco city center – summer weekends. Narrow streets, lots of cars, traffic lights.
- SP72 (the scenic road itself) – July–August, around lunchtime. Cars crawl, almost nowhere to pass.
- Varenna town entrance – afternoons, everyone’s hunting for parking. But lucky you: your driver drops you right at your hotel – zero parking stress.
Our drivers know all these hotspots and will avoid them when possible.
Best places to stop for photos
| Spot | Vibe | Best time |
|---|---|---|

| Abbadia Lariana | 10 km north of Lecco. Old church, lake view, very chill | Anytime |
| Lierna | Halfway there. Small harbor, water, mountains – very Instagram | Late afternoon |
| Viewpoint near Olivedo | 2 km before Varenna. You’ll see the whole town + castle + lake | Golden hour (sunset) |
| Varenna waterfront | The famous “Lovers’ Walk”. Pink houses, blue water, mountains behind | Sunset or early morning |
