Como Lake Itinerary
A lot of people come to Como Lake just for one day from Milan. Which is possible of course to close top destinations. But, believe me, you will not understand Como within one day.
I truly recommend spending 3-4 days minimum. We stayed 5 and enjoyed every moment. We were traveling by car and ferries. But Como has also great train connections. So please check transportation based on your needs. I will add links for trains and ferries below.
Based on your wallet there are public ferries, but there are a lot of private ferries you can book for you/your group to have luxurious time on a lake.
Regarding place to stay we chose staying in different places, so I will add all our hotels, but of course you can stay at one place depending on your wishes.
For every day you will have brief and detail. In case you have less days - all cities mentioned in the guide by the importance of visiting them from my point of view.
Day 1: Como
* Spend the day exploring the city. Visit the beautiful Como Cathedral, the historic Villa Olmo, and the beautiful waterfront promenade.
