What is the best way to get around Lake Como?
If you are planning to visit a town on the western side of Lake Como (Como, Bellagio, Menaggio and Tremezzina among others) buses and boat service are a great way to move from town to town. If you want to visit a town on the eastern side (Lecco, Varenna, Colico, etc.), train service is probably the best option.
Is there a train around Lake Como?
TRAVELING TO COMO (and to the Western Branch) by train
On the western branch of the lake, the city of Como is the only one to have train stations. Como S. Giovanni and Como Nord Lago are the two main stations: both are very close to the city center and connect Como to Milan in about one hour.
Do you need a car to get around Lake Como?
In general, there is not much public transport.
Lake Como is fairly easily accessible at both Como and Lecco, which have trains that go from Milan. But, for many of the storied, smaller towns, there is no public transport. You‘ll need a car, or you‘ll need to pay for cabs.
How many days do you need in Lake Como?
How many days should I spend in Lake Como? I‘d suggest to spend at least 3-4 days, because there are a lot of towns and things to see and you will need time to experience Lake Como at its best.
Should I stay Como or Bellagio?
Como is good for certain train connections but it is very city-like. Bellagio is very nice but slightly inconvenient as it needs to be approached by water (easy) or road (less easy). My recommendation would be Varenna. We’ve been there twice and each time we visited Bellagio via ferry.
