Our journey begins at Milan’s Cadorna train station, where we’ll meet our expert guide and take a one-hour train ride to Lake Como. Along the way, you’ll hear fascinating insights into the region’s Roman roots, subtropical climate, and silk trade history. Upon arrival, we’ll explore Como’s quaint streets, visit the Gothic-style Como Cathedral, and stroll through historic piazzas like Piazza Cavour and Piazza Volta. Depending on the group’s preference, we may take the funicular to Brunate for sweeping lake views or walk along the western lakeside to admire iconic villas like Villa Olmo.
