Chiavenna is a quaint mountain town, about 124 km (77 mi) from Milan in Italy. Visitors can take a stroll through its narrow lanes and marvel at the historic buildings and stone walls.

You can walk across an ancient bridge over River Mera and climb up Paradiso Hill for a stunning view of the town. About 15 km (9 mi) away, in Prosto di Piuro, you can visit an exquisite Renaissance villa — Palazzo Vertemate Franchi. It has a variety of frescoes depicting mythological themes. Or, you can take a trip to the impressive Acquafraggia waterfalls, less than a 15-minute drive away from the town.
