The main points of interest, the lake, and train stations are easily reachable on foot from the apartment.

ASF buses serve Como and the surrounding towns. Tickets can be purchased on board (cash only) or at authorized points (Como bus station in Piazza Matteotti, bars, and tobacco shops). Taxi services are also available.

From the pier, ferries connect to Cernobbio, Torno, Bellagio, Varenna, Colico, and other lakeside towns. Please note that in high season, there may be long queues at the ticket office before boarding. Tickets can also be purchased online at the \"Navigazione Laghi\" website.

From Como San Giovanni train station, you can travel directly to Milan Central Station and Switzerland (Lugano, Bellinzona, Locarno). From Como Nord Lago station, you can reach Milan Cadorna station.

The nearest airports are Milan Malpensa, Milan Linate, and Orio al Serio (Bergamo). A shuttle service to and from the airports can be arranged at an additional cost. For further inquiries about transportation and transfers, feel free to contact us—we\'ll be happy to assist you!

TIPS

✔ Dedicate a day to visiting the beautiful towns around the lake. Como is the urban center, but the lakeside towns are true gems with stunning villas.

✔ Wear comfortable shoes, especially when walking along the lake or exploring small villages.

✔ There are many public drinking fountains in the area, and the water is safe to drink unless otherwise indicated. Tap water is also drinkable. Bring a reusable bottle!

✔ For a relatively easy hike with breathtaking mountain views, try the Greenway del Lago di Como—a well-marked trail connecting lakeside villages from Colonno to Griante with minimal inclines. A bus will take you to the starting point in Colonno.

✔ Look for traditional restaurants where you can try local dishes, especially lake fish specialties.

✔ In Italy, many small shops and services close in the middle of the day, so plan your shopping accordingly.

✔ Lake Como is one of the deepest lakes in Europe and the deepest in Italy. Swimming and diving are prohibited in many areas and can be dangerous. However, for those who wish to swim, there are some options:

Outdoor pool near Villa Olmo

Swimming facility near Villa Geno, where you can also swim in the lake. This area has a beach bar, a restaurant, and lifeguards for your safety.

Lido di Bellagio and the pebble beach in San Giovanni are great for those who want to explore Bellagio, a stunning town in the middle of the lake.

Many locals and visitors enjoy going to Nesso, where adventurous swimmers can dive into the lake from the ancient Roman bridge near the waterfall.

✔ Como is in a mountainous region. Although the surrounding Pre-Alps may not seem very high, the climate is influenced by the nearby mountains, and temperatures can change quickly. When hiking, always check the weather and bring warm, waterproof clothing.
