How to get to Lake Como

Wondering how to get to Lake Como? Here is a little bit of information to help you

The Lake Como region is an ideal holiday destination because of its ease of access from Milan, approximately 50km away, with three international airports in Milan, Bergamo, Malpensa and Linate. The close proximity to Milan makes it a popular weekend getaway destination for the locals, even in ancient Roman times Italians flocked here to escape the heat of the city and recharge their batteries in the cool mountain air, therefore if you prefer a quieter day out we recommend planning your excursions on a weekday.

There are lots of alternative ways to get around Lake Como, even without your own vehicle, public transport will pretty much get you to anywhere you like. The buses & boat services are probably the best methods in the west to explore Como, Bellagio, Menaggio & Tremezzina. In the east we would recommend the train service between Lecco & Varenna. If you do have your own private transport you will find the roads around the perimeter much quieter than its sister Lake Garda.
