Discussion on Lake Como
I want to go to Lake Como in Italy. Which town is best to stay in? How long would you recommend going for?
"The city of Como is nice and fairly well-connected by train/bus to visit other places too. However, I personally prefer Bellagio as a place to stay. I wouldn't stay more than a week and while I was there, I would definitely go to Bergamo for a day. You might consider Lago Orta rather than Lago Como it's very scenic and somewhat cheaper. Another option is Lago Garda, because it's much easier to take day trips to places like Venice, Verona, or Mantova that are all worth seeing."
"Are you there for work? Silk? Como is not a bad place - nice town and you are well connected to Milan. Take the trip to Monza should you have the chance and visit its Duomo and wonderful park with the "Villa Reale" (Royal Villa). Como - there is a lot of territory to explore but several days should probably suffice."
"Lake Como is to overrun now - try one of the neighboring lakes to get away from tourists"
"It depends...the lake is shared by two provinces Lecco and Como. I went three weeks ago to Varenna on the Lecco side of the lake and it was marvelous. There were many americans there too. Visit. While you are in Como..take the opportunity to visit the other lakes too. Lago di Lugano is about thirty minutes from Lake Como. In Varese, about 40 minutes from lake Como...there's Lake Varese. On the other side, of it Lake Orta and Lake Maggiore... The whole Lake district is beautiful... I live here!!!! Cheers"
"I'm Italian and I live in Lecco...I think it's very good!!!! Good luck!!!!"
"Bellagio is the best to stay in. Very beautiful. I stayed in the hotel metropole there and the owners were lovely and welcomed you with a welcome drink with cookies. I went here for xmas 2 years ago,"
I'll be staying in a hostel named In Riva Al Lago at Lake Como during the easter break. According to the direction given, the hostel is near to Stazione F.N. (Como Lago). Is the station same as Como Nord Lago? So if i want to get to the station from Bergamo Airport, can I depart from Bergamo railway station? Or is it cheaper to take a train to Lake como from Milan Railway station ?
"You have anyway to change at least three trains. Itinerary n.1 Bergamo - Milano Centrale (Trenitalia Train) Milano Centrale - Milano Cadorna (Municipal Underground of Milano) Milano Cadorna - Como Lago Nord (Ferrovie Nord Train) Itinerary n.2 Bergamo - Seregno or Monza (Trenitalia Train) Seregno or Monza - Como S.Giovanni (Trenitalia Train) Como S.Giovanni - Como Lago Nord (Ferrovie Nord Train) Both alternatives are similar in time (2 h 20 min) and price (5 Euro) the choice is depending on departure time"
Is Lake Como, Italy a fun and beautiful place to visit? I hear such amazing things about it.
"Yes it is."
"it is a real paradise, especially the villas of Como..Dont miss it"
"It IS gorgeous, but try to go a little off season as it gets really busy! Bellagio is a "must do." We enjoyed the not so expensive Hotel Fioroni in Bellagio and the Hotel Mirabeau in Civenna (ask for lake view rooms). Also make sure to take a ferry ride! Buono viaggio!"
"It's a beautiful place, even Brad Pitt, Angelina Jolie and George Clooney love it. You can rent a car and drive around it (it's huge), with small breaks at cafes or small beaches along the way. Bellagio is the most beautiful stop while Como is where you can windsurf."
"I have been there In November 2007. It Is really beautiful, very calm and a place to relax.It's a nice place to see and one day is just perfect... but if you are looking for relaxation stay more."
