Description
This half-day trip from Milan to Lake Como begins at Cadorna Station, where you meet your guide and board a morning train. The ride to Como takes about an hour, and the tour lasts around four hours in all. A minimum of two people is needed for it to run, and the walk suits couples as much as friends.
In Como the walk starts in the old centre. You see the white marble Duomo, more than 600 years old, the medieval walls, the Romanesque church of Sant'Abbondio and the elegant Via Vittorio Emanuele. The guide then leads you past the traditional shops and boutiques of Piazza Cavour and Via Plinio, and out to the waterfront.
The lakeside promenade goes on to Villa Olmo, whose ornate garden opens up a wide view over the lake and the town.
