When visiting Lake Como, one of the best ways to see the lake is to take a Lake Como ferry.
Lake Como ferry boats stop at all major towns on Lake Como, including favorites like Como, Bellagio and Tremezzo (for Villa Carlotta).
There are several different kinds of Lake Como ferry services, including slow boats, express boats, and boats that only run on certain days and times.
Lake Como ferry boats run regularly throughout the day. Schedules can be picked up at any ferry ticket office.
Some ferry offices also have information desks where you can speak to a representative to get more information about Lake Como ferry departure and arrival times, ticket prices, and other information.
Lake Como ferry prices depend on where you are going. For some ferries, like the ferry from Como to Bellagio, you must buy one way tickets each way if you take the express ferry. These ferry tickets cost 11.70 EUR one way.
You must also pay a 1 EUR surcharge if you purchase your Lake Como ferry ticket on board the ferry, so it’s best to purchase tickets at the ticket office in advance.
If you want to get from Milan airport to Lake Como, the best airport to fly into is Milan Malpensa.
When your flight lands at Milan Malpensa airport, you can get from the Milan airport to Lake Como by taking the train from Milan airport to the Milan city center.
