2025 Como Travel Guide: Must-see attractions, popular food, hotels, transportation routes (updated in February)

#europetrip #italy #como While many tourists head straight to Bellagio or other popular areas, the town of Como itself is a hidden gem worth exploring. We spent two delightful days strolling through this charming lakeside town, discovering its rich history and serene beauty. Highlights include visiting the impressive Como Cathedral (Duomo di Como), admiring the elegant Villa Olmo, and wandering the picturesque Piazza San Fedele. A leisurely walk along the lakefront promenade offered stunning views of the shimmering lake, especially during sunny autumn days when the vibrant foliage added a magical touch. Como’s tranquil atmosphere and captivating scenery left a lasting impression.

Location: 5.0 Service: 5.0 Health: 5.0 Facilities: 5.0 It's another set of pictures with a huge amount of information. Unfortunately, no one took pictures for me. Fortunately, I have a pair of skillful hands. Como is the most beautiful small city on the edge of Milan, and many people like it entirely because of Lake Como. It's hard to find a hotel with a view of the lake. Fortunately, people who love to laugh are not unlucky, so I stayed in Small this time. Opposite the room is the lake, and pedestrians flow through the feet. It seems that you suddenly understand Bian Zhilin's mood. You stand on the bridge and watch the scenery, and the scenery is watching you upstairs. The bright moon decorates your windows, and you decorate other people's dreams. #100WaysOfTravel #solotravel

Como is the most famous lake in northern Italy, a common saying among the locals is: those who have vacationed at Lake Como are the ones who truly understand life. Lake Como is near the Alps, so in addition to the beautiful lake view, there is also a magnificent feeling~. If you come to I sincerely recommend a day trip to Como. It takes an hour by train from Milan, and there are many beautiful small towns scattered around the lake. The scenery is very stunning, many locals come here for the weekend, wearing swimsuits and jumping directly into the blue lake water, super decompression! Route: Milan Central Railway Station-Veranna Town (1.5 hours)- Bellagio (15 minutes by boat)-Como Town (1 hour by boat)-Return to Milan (1 hour) Travel Guide Cable Car on the Mountain Top You can see the distant Alps and the nearby Lake Como, round-trip ticket is 6.6 euros, every fifteen minutes, 5 minutes to the top of the mountain. Lake Tour Boat About an hour, will stay in the surrounding towns, you can sightsee on the boat without getting off, 8.9 euros per person Cathedral Classic Gothic architecture, free to visit, no tickets required, but the toilet charges, if you can't accept it, you can go to a coffee shop or bar for a free use Veranna: There are many boats from Veranna to Bellagio, but they are not direct, you have to go to Menaggio first, there is a castle on the top of the mountain in Veranna, but you have to climb the mountain by yourself, if you really don't want to walk, it's also very comfortable to walk by the lake Bellagio: Compared to Veranna, I like it here more, although the place is very small, but there are all kinds of exquisite small shops everywhere, the alleys in the sun are like with filters, various colors of walls, taking pictures and so on are really beautiful, addicted in a second~

There are a lot of villas with historical value and architectural value on the lakeside of Lake Como. The lenno villa, built by the famous designer Ciacomo Mantegazza in 1926, once competed for the F1 car Schumacher and Brad Pitt, Kevin Costner and Bruce Springsteen. Its really because of these unique buildings, and its one of the reasons why many people come here to punch cards. Climate Como Lake is connected to the Alps. Many places on the shore are cliffs. It is said that you can ski there all the year round. It is quite cold this season, so remember I wear more clothes. Anyway, when I went out, I had already taken the thick coats.

Attractions There are a lot of attractions to visit, such as Como Cathedral, Vodafone Museum, Villa Olmo, etc. It is very worthwhile to check in, right and there is Lake Center Island, don't miss it. Accommodation This time I lived in Vista Palazzo, a lakeside hotel. When I stayed, I was still very small. The whole hotel can be seen in Lake Como, using a very elegant and stylish decoration style. The most important thing is that it is very close to the train station, about 1 km away. There is a cafeteria on the top floor of the hotel. Although it is not big, it is enough to enjoy. You can enjoy breakfast here while enjoying the scenery. And the staff of the hotel is still very enthusiastic, because it is a relationship with people? ! Everyone can enjoy a very good service.

Sophie's Italian travel notes Como, half an hour's drive from Milan, Italy, has an ancient church overlooking Lake Como on the Swiss border. Of course, the most attractive thing is food. The Italian restaurant El Sombrero, which was brought to the locals, was far from the sights, and many locals were there. 10 Europe's Qingkou and Huajia platter is both a starter, but the serving size is like a staple food. Add the white wine and garlic to cook, light and sweet, if it can be better with white wine. Seafood angel noodles, noodles cooked thoroughly, not too hard to hurt the stomach, absorbing the rich sauce, is a good spaghetti I have eaten in Italy. and dessert, butter pudding and tiramisu, each serving 5 euros, the size is large, simply win the quality and price of domestic dessert stores, only hate their appetite is not big enough, can not eat a few copies at a time.

There is a table by Lake Como in Italy, the most beautiful table||There is a table by Lake Como in Italy, the most beautiful table, and of course, there must be a boat. Lake Como (Italian: Lago di Como) is a glacial lake in the Lombardy region of Italy. It covers an area of 146 square kilometers, making it the third largest lake in Italy after Lake Garda and Lake Maggiore. The lake is over 400 meters deep, making it the fifth deepest lake in Europe, or the deepest lake in Europe outside of Norway. The lake bottom is 227 meters below sea level. The lake is particularly notable for its three-pronged (Y-shaped) shape. Lake Como has been a favorite vacation destination for nobles and wealthy people since the Roman Empire, and it also has many artistic and cultural treasures to attract tourists. The shores of the lake are home to many villas and palaces, including Villa Olmo, Villa Serbelloni, and Villa Carlotta. Many celebrities, including George Clooney, Madonna, and Donatella Versace, have owned homes by the lake. In 2014, the Huffington Post named it the most beautiful lake in the world for its microclimate and its environment with prestigious villas and villages.

#europetrip #italy #como Visiting Como Cathedral (Duomo di Como) is a journey into the heart of Italian Gothic and Renaissance architecture. Situated in the charming lakeside city of Como, the cathedral is one of the most significant churches in northern Italy. Construction began in 1396 and spanned over three centuries, resulting in a stunning blend of Gothic, Renaissance, and Baroque elements. The façade, with its intricate sculptures and rose windows, is a masterpiece of Gothic artistry, while the interior features grand columns, ornate frescoes, and an impressive collection of tapestries from the 16th and 17th centuries. The cathedral also houses precious artworks, including a magnificent altar and paintings by Bernardino Luini, a pupil of Leonardo da Vinci. Its location near Lake Como adds to the experience, offering visitors breathtaking views and a serene atmosphere that perfectly complements the historical grandeur of this architectural gem.

Milan Pilgrimage Tour - Como Everything is the best arrangement. Since you can't go to Rome, let's go to Como. Start the third day of the trip. Everyone's strategy for playing Lake Como is from far to near, Varenna - Bellagio - Como Town, but the guaranteed train is only to Como, so let's go the other way. Don't think about checking in at the attractions when you come to Como. Go straight to the town center after leaving the train station, and then walk slowly along Lake Como. When you are tired, take a rest on the bench by the lake and bask in the sun. This is travel. Como's century-old mountain cable car, the cable car station is by the lake, and the ticket office is in the quaint building in Figure 4. At first, I thought it was a restaurant, and I almost missed it. The round-trip ticket price of the cable car is 6.6 euros. When you reach the terminal, you can continue to walk around the mountain road. There is a church where you can overlook Como Town. I didn't go, I just wandered around the station and took the cable car down. Como Cathedral Cattedrale di Santa Maria Assunta, Figure 8, is a landmark building in the center of the town, built of marble bricks, very spectacular. There are Christmas markets around and many roadside shops to visit. The home stadium of Como 1907 Football Club (Figure 10) is also by the lake and is worth checking in. Como has made great progress in the past two years, jumping three levels in six years, and the team has our old friend Cutrone. I checked the data and statistics of the league 15 games and 4 goals, crushing the 100 million striker Belotti Xiangxiang, I hope he will get better and better. The stadium can only be seen from the outside and cannot be visited. Today is not a match day, so it is very incomprehensible.

Fantastic memories in Como

Lake Como has long been a summer destination for those either looking for a longer break or on a day trip from Milan. However, visiting in the winter as we did can provide an alternative view of the lake. Without the crowds, and expensive prices you can feel free to explore this beautiful corner of the country with some places feeling like you’ve got the whole lake to yourself. In addition this can be coupled with a trip to nearby ski resorts such as Foppolo which has lift passes for a bargain €16 per day.

On the way from Milan to Switzerland, I was tired of driving, so I found a hotel near the highway... I thought it wouldn't be too good, but I didn't expect it to be a big surprise. The overall feeling is very good. ...The rooms are all password locks. The front desk gives you a card with a password written on it (if you arrive at night, you can check in by yourself). The room is very large, the bed and pillows are also quite comfortable, and the breakfast is also good. You can stay there in the future (very cheap) #100WaysOfTravel #solotravel

The area around Lake Como is home to many famous lakeside towns, each with its own unique charm. All of these towns have docks, and ferries and speedboats travel between them, making transportation very convenient. If you choose to spend the night at Lake Como and stay in a hotel or guesthouse room with a view of the lake, you will definitely feel that the trip was worthwhile. Como Town, named for its picturesque location on the shores of Lake Como, is an ancient town with a history of over 2,000 years. Como Town attracts many tourists with its beautiful natural environment and tranquil lifestyle. Here, you can experience a slower pace of life and enjoy the gifts of nature. Whether you are strolling along the shores of Lake Como or climbing to the top of Mount Como to overlook the entire lake area, you will feel refreshed and reluctant to leave.

On the seventeenth stop of the Swiss Panorama Tour, we step into the picturesque Como, Italy. This historic city is like a splendid historical painting. By the shores of Lake Como, a gentle breeze caresses the water, shimmering with reflections of the charming buildings along the shore. As early as the Roman era, it emerged as an important center for trade and cultural exchange. Throughout the ages, it has witnessed countless changes, with architectural relics from various periods serving as the best testimony. From medieval castles to Renaissance palaces, every brick and stone carries the memory of history. Como is equally rich in cultural atmosphere. In the streets and alleys, artists passionately display their talents, with paintings, sculptures, and other artworks visible everywhere. The local residents are warm and hospitable, preserving ancient traditions while embracing modern changes with an open mind. During festivals, grand celebrations are lively and bustling, with people dressed in traditional costumes, singing and dancing, showcasing their unique cultural charm. The first sight to behold is the Tempio Voltiano, a Palladian-style temple built in 1927 to commemorate the centenary of Alessandro Volta's death. It stands quietly, with two floors displaying items, instruments, and memorabilia related to this great inventor, as if narrating the glories of the past. Continuing along the left bank promenade, we arrive at the 'Villa Walkway' built during the Habsburg dynasty. The first villa is Villa Saporiti, also known as Villa La Rotonda, designed by architect Leonard Pollack at the end of the 18th century. Its ancient walls and exquisite decorations exude former grandeur, and it is said that Napoleon Bonaparte, Queen Isabella of Naples, and Austrian Prince Ferdinand I once stayed here. Villa Olmo is one of the most beautiful villas on Lake Como, with a history dating back to 1782. Its neoclassical style is enchanting, and before entering its splendid rooms, you will first be captivated by its magnificent park. In the city center, the Gothic and Renaissance-style Como Cathedral stands out. The marble surface of the cathedral glistens in the sunlight, and its high octagonal dome adds to its solemnity and sanctity. The architectural style blends Gothic, Romanesque, and Renaissance elements, making it unique and charming. The cathedral is located at Cathedral Square, from where you can overlook the Broletto Palace built in the 13th century. Its exterior walls exhibit Gothic and Romanesque styles, blending together in a distinctive manner. Behind the cathedral stands the former Casa del Fascio, a masterpiece of rationalist architecture. Its four facades are devoid of additional decorations, treated independently, yet the main facade and side elevations cleverly respect the relationship with the surrounding environment. Facing the square, the large colonnade on the main facade reinforces the 'hollow' feeling, providing a unique visual impact. Additionally, Palazzo Terragni is one of Como's iconic buildings. This building is clad in white marble, with each of its four facades differing, leaving ample space for the display of the column-beam structure grid. Terragni understood the concrete frame as an abstract grid, satisfying modern architecture's exploration of structural features while maintaining traditional proportional divisions. Based on the layout of an Italian mansion, he introduced the concept of 'a glass house that everyone can see through,' using large areas of glass and a double-height atrium to connect the interior and exterior, subverting and transforming the mansion's meaning. When sunlight filters through the glass bricks into the interior, the interplay of light and shadow creates a dreamlike atmosphere. Strolling through the streets and alleys of Como, feeling the blend of history and modernity, each building is like an open book, telling the story of this city.

The lake is surrounded by mountains, creating a breathtaking background. The lake is perfect for relaxing boat rides, water activities, hiking, and exploring the little towns along the shoreline. There are three charming towns along the lake como, namely Bellagio, Varenna and Como. They are offering historical sites, gardens, and beautiful cafes. If you want to unwind, day trip to Lake Como is definitely a good ideal place.
