Lake Como is less than an hour by train and is a perfect day trip from Milan. Don’t miss Bellagio, Varenna, and Como town! Also Lake Garda is less than 2hrs away from Milan. The lakes are well worth it to be included in any Italian itinerary; also charming and quiet if traveling off-season.

One thing to add into your schedule is that hydrofoil/ferry times between Como and Bellagio take between 45 minutes and 1-1/2 hours. The trains between Milano Centrale and Varenna -Esino take 1 hour 5 minutes. You can see them on Trenitalia. After your transfer by train from Milan Cadorna Station to Como Lake Station, have a walking tour of the lake town of Como with a professional guide at your complete disposal. If you want to admire the beauty of Lake Como, its unspoiled landscapes, banks filled with luxuriant vegetation, sumptuous villas and the small villages of rare beauty.1 day ago · 926 posts. 20 reviews. 8 helpful votes.
