Milan Surroundings | Lake Como Day Trip

| Lake Como Day Trip. If you plan to visit Lake Como in Milan, here is a brief guide: Transportation From Milan, you can take a train to towns around Lake Como, such as Varenna or Como, which takes about 1 to 1.5 hours. In the Lake Como area, buses connect the towns, and ferries are a great way to enjoy the lake view and travel between towns. You can also choose to drive or cycle. Itinerary Day 1: • Arrive in Varenna in the morning and visit the cathedral and Villa Monastero garden. • Have lunch at a lakeside restaurant and try local delicacies, such as Lake Como fish pasta. • Stroll around Varenna in the afternoon, admire the colorful buildings, and visit local specialty shops. • Take a ferry to Bellagio, tour the town, and enjoy the lake view. • For dinner, we recommend dining at a restaurant in Bellagio, such as La Punta Restaurant. Day 2: • Take a ferry tour of Lake Como in the morning and enjoy the rolling hills and villa views on both sides. • Have lunch in Bellagio or Como, such as Italian vegetable risotto. • Visit Como Cathedral in the afternoon, tour the park by Lake Como, and take a cable car to the top of the mountain for a panoramic view of Lake Como. • Return to Milan in the evening. Notes • Plan your itinerary and transportation in advance, especially during peak tourist season. • Pay attention to safety when taking a ferry and follow the crew's instructions. • Train tickets in Italy need to be manually validated, so remember to validate your ticket in advance. • Wear comfortable shoes, as Varenna, Bellagio, and other towns are hilly with many cobblestone streets. Lake Como attracts visitors from all over the world with its tranquility and beauty. Whether it's the elderly fishing leisurely by the lake or children playing on a ferry, they all blend into this poetic picture. We hope this guide will help you better plan your trip and enjoy a wonderful travel experience!
