From Milan: Como, Lugano and Bellagio Exclusive Boat Cruise. 4.5 / 5 734 reviews. Activity provider: VEDITALIA. Add to wishlist. View all 15 images. 1 / 15. Visit 2 countries in just 1 day on this all-encompassing tour of some beautiful lakes and villages in Switzerland and Italy. Enjoy an exclusive boat cruise taking in the sights of Lake Como. Then travel to Bellagio on a fast ferry. From Bellagio, it is possible to take a ferry to Como, from where I suggest returning by train to Milan. For example, the first train leaves Milan for Varenna at 6.20 am and the last one leaves Como for Milan at 10.10 pm. It will be a busy day, but it will be worth it. 1. From Milan: Lake Como and Bellagio Private Boat Cruise. Join a full-day trip by bus from Milan to the must-visit Lake Como area, celebrated for its exquisite villas and colorful gardens. Walk around Como on a guided tour and unwind on two private Lake Como cruises. Enjoy the greenery at the Villa Olmo gardens. 1. Plan your transportation method. There are several ways to get around Lake Como. Each transportation method has certain things to keep in mind (e.g., ferries don’t run late into the night, buses aren’t as frequent as you may think, trains are only available in some areas), so make sure to plan ahead. 2. Lake Como is a popular day trip from Milan, but the logistics of visiting on your own are a hassle. With this day trip, meet your guide at the Milan station to board the train to Varenna. Enjoy a guided stroll through the village, then catch the ferry together to Bellagio. End with a scenic ferry ride to Como and a guided city tour before the return train. One lake that stands out from the rest is Lake Como, and the town bearing the same name is an easy day trip from busy Milan by train. It might take you the same amount of time to drive the 22.4 miles (36 km) from Milan to Como as it would take the train, but the train eliminates the hassle of navigating roads and finding parking, particularly 70 helpful votes. 5. Re: Taxi or Uber. 1 year ago. Save. If you need a taxi from the hotel to Como (train station), maybe a TA poster will know about that, or you might check the hotel's web site (or e-mail them) to see if they have that information. Surely guests arrive and depart all the time. Report inappropriate content. Passeggiata degli Innamorati, Varenna Varenna, a short boat ride from Bellagio and easily accessible by train from Milan, offers a charming lakeside promenade - the famous Passeggiata degli Innamorati - that leads to the small bay of Riva Grande, where you will find plenty of cafes, restaurants and local craft stores.
