The old town is characterized by narrow streets and picturesque, winding alleys, most of them staircases lined with charming shops, cafes and restaurants. It's a great place to wander and explore. The town's layout is reminiscent of a typical medieval village with steep and irregularly shaped streets that climb up the hillside with the rounded cobblestone paving that is quite easy to walk on.
The staircase lanes going up the hill make Bellagio something very special magical, unique. You do have to put in a little effort to climb those steps, but it's easy.
These winding hillside lanes are so beautiful you would probably enjoy walking every bit of them with a complete route covering about two kilometers.
