Getting To Lake Como
If you want to visit Lake Como and the surrounding area, you'll need to fly to Milan Bergamo Airport, Milan Linate Airport, or Milan Malpensa Airport. It depends on the airline you're flying with. For example, Ryanair offers very reasonably priced flights to Milan Bergamo Airport if you're okay with traveling light and following their policy.
Getting Around Lake Como
The best way to experience Lake Como and its beautiful views is by traveling by car. This allows you to get everywhere quickly and not have to depend on public transportation. If you're driving and worried about getting across the lake to Menaggio, Cadenabbia, Bellagio, or Varenna, there are car ferries available. You can find all the timetables and ferry information here.
