TRAVEL
The landscape seems to have been painted by a romantic painter: mountains that slide into the lake, now soft and now restless. Woods, small beaches of white pebbles or soft grass, promontories bathed by placid waters.
Stone villages that are postcards from the Middle Ages. Grand Hotel and fairytale villas, with manicured gardens and aristocratic atmospheres from the Belle Epoque. It is the enchantment of Como, a lake that has inspired artists and poets of all ages.
A popular tourist destination for at least two centuries and yet capable of retaining a surprising number of authentic places, tiny villages and valleys to explore by driving along winding roads.

A good traveler should not perform affirm, explain, but keep quiet, listen and understand.

FLIGHTS
We recommend flying into Milan MXP airport. Many cities offer direct flights!
The other, smaller airport in Milan (LIN) is also an option, but makes it more difficult if you want to take the train to Como (see "Getting to Como").

Train
If you plan to arrive from elsewhere in Italy or Europe, train is a great option. You can go arrive at "Milano Centrale" station or "Milano Nord Cadorna" station and then catch a connecting train to Como.
Lake Como is on the Milan-to-Switzerland train line.
The train stops in the town of Como, the main town on the lake, where there is a tourist office in Piazza Cavour.
From Malpensa Airport, trains towards Como depart from Terminal 1.
From Linate Airport, trains towards Como depart from Milano Centrale.
