Lake Como, one of the top places to go in Italy is known for its villas, gardens and beautiful scenery. It’s a good destination for hiking, water activities, or a relaxing vacation and there are pretty towns and villages to visit all around the lake. While it’s best to spend a few days, Como is easy to visit as a day trip from Milan by train.
Como Town
Como, the largest town on the lake and the closest to Milan, is a good place to start your visit to Lake Como. From Milan it’s less than an hour by train to Como so you could even visit on a day trip from the city. A great way to explore the lake is by taking a ferry from Como to visit other towns around the lake. During summer season you can also take an excursion boat cruise or rent a small boat or paddle boat to explore on your own.
