The waterfront of Bellagio has beautiful little cafes, a car park, shops, a gellateria, and hotels. There are about 6-7 pedestrian walkways (Salite) that lead up the hill. They are narrow and steep and the steps are made of river stones.
In the opposite direction on the waterfront (Piazza Mazzini) is a pedestrian promenade with lots of park benches and scenic lookout points and further down is Villa Melzi.
