Lake Como, Italy’s third-largest lake, is in the Lombardy region of northern Italy about an hour north of Milan.

Is 3 days in Lake Como enough?

For sure! In just two or three days, you can visit the city of Como and the towns of Bellagio, Varenna, and Menaggio. Using boat trips across the lake as your transport, you’ll sightsee as you go. You’ll still have time to tick off visiting the region’s famous Neoclassical villas and flower-filled gardens.

What is the best way to travel to Lake Como?

There are several trains from Milano Centrale to Lake Como’s main station, Como San Giovanni, which is just a ten-minute walk from the center of Como. Better yet, trains run pretty much around the clock. Inspired? Download the Trainline App to search for the best fares and times for you.
