WHAT TO DO IN AND AROUND COMO
General activities:
-
Take the cable car to Brunate - a beautiful Village in the mountains - the cable car "Funicolare Como - Brunate" starts close to the pier in Como
-
Stroll through Como - visit the Cathedral of Como, go through the little shops, drink an Aperol Spritz in one of the several bars along the pier of Como

​
Ferries:
-
The ferries are probably the best way to get around Lake Como
-
You can buy tickets here
-
We recommend to do so a day in advance as they are sometimes booked out and to avoid queues at the ticket offices
-
Please be aware that there are fast & slow ferries
​
Good swimming spots:
-
GIULIETTA - beach on the lake with a restaurant, walkable distance from Como
-
LIDO DI CERNOBBIO - public swimming pool, directly on the lake, feels like a journey through time (and you have to wear a red swim cap)
-
LIDO MOLTRASIO - low-key bathing spot with a Pizza Restaurant in Moltrasio
-
Lake access in front of Villa Geno at the fountain of Como (careful, there might be dangerous currents)
