The Menaggio tourist office offers a puzzle tour for children to discover the town in an amusing and active way. It can be done by following the historical itinerary through Menaggio. This small circular walk of about 1 hour is mostly pedestrian. After your walk bring the quiz back to the tourist office – there is a little surprise for the children.
The historical itinerary starts in Piazza Garibaldi, where the tourist office is located. It is marked with blue arrows and lasts about an hour. Children will be busy answering the questions of their puzzle / quiz tour and making drawings of some of the monuments on the way. Historical and artistic itinerary for parents and puzzle tour to amuse and entertain children. This way discovering Menaggio also becomes fun for families. We will walk up to Castello, the medieval part of the town along narrow cobbled streets which hide some interesting medieval finds. We will see an old bridge over the Sanagra river where the ancient Roman road called “Antica Strada Regina” used to pass. We can also admire a small waterfall here. On the lakeside we can admire the tall white monument dedicated to the silk weavers by Francesco Somaini. Back in Piazza Garibaldi, the children can bring their quizes to the tourist office. They will receive a small gift.
After the walk through the town, and of course after an icecream at one of Menaggio’s ice cream parlours, we suggest a game of minigolf. Fun for young and old.
The minigolf course is located in the shade of the plane trees, directly on the beautiful lakefront of Menaggio.
opening times of the minigolf:
3 Km 00:50 h
This walk is ideal to do with children and also with strollers. You pass some nice beaches where you can stop to play or go for a swim .
2 Km 00:40 h (one way)
Above Menaggio there is the park Val Sanagra, a vast territory rich in flora fauna and ancient rural settlements. Out of the many hiking possibilities the park offers, we suggest an easy walk which follows the course of the Sanagra river.
