The city of ComoJust half an hour from noisy, bustling Milan, Como province is a jewel like oasis of

tranquillity, a magical combination of lush Mediterranean foliage and snowy alpine peaks. Lake Como (Lago di Como) is one of the famous Italian Lakes destinations,

long (50km), slender and extremely deep. The southern end forks into two long ‘arms’, with the picturesque town of Bellagio situated on the promontory between

them. Like the other Italian Lakes, Lake Como has been popular as a resort since the days of the Roman Empire. Visitors ever since have admired the blue waters and

relaxed in luxurious villas in the wooded lakeside slopes above. Como preserves important monuments from each important era of its history, such

as its Gothic-Renaissance cathedral completed in the 19th century with the dome of Filippo Juvarra or the many 400-year-old buildings and the basilica in Piazza San Fedele, at the heart of Como’s walled Old Town. For all these reasons, Como and its

lake have become, over the years, more and more popular with both tourists and celebrities alike as it is in a fantastic location, with its magnificent mountains and

valleys and the many quaint villages with beautiful lakeside villas. The lake offers also many things to do: walking or hiking and of course a multitude of watersports to choose from with many schools towards the northern part of the lake (Dongo, Domaso, Colico) where you can book lessons for sailing, windsurfing,

diving etc.

How to get there• You can easily reach Como by plane, arriving at the 3 airports of Milan (Malpensa,

Linate and Orio al Serio) and at the one in Lugano, Switzerland. The airport in Lugano is only 20 minutes by car from Como, while the airports of

Malpensa, Linate and Bergamo (Orio al Serio) are 50-60 minutes by car from Como.

• Como is also well connected by train to all the most important cities in Italy and Europe. Fast and frequent train link Como to Milan and to Switzerland:

Ferrovie Nord Milan (Milan North Railway) links Como to the centre of Milan-Milano Cadorna- with a frequency of a train every 30 minutes.

Ferrovie dello Stato (National Railway)-station of Como San Giovanni, situated on the International line Milano-Chiasso links Como to the major European and Italian

cities.

• You can also reach Como by car, using the A9 motorway from Milan.
