Boat excursion to the provincial capital Como

Ship excursion tip:

It is an extraordinarily beautiful and worthwhile boat excursion, as there are many villas and picturesque places that can be seen from the street are barely visible, can be admired on the lakeshore.
Ask at the tourist office for a map of Como with explanations of the sights.

Worth seeing :
Cathedral, church S.Fedele (11th century),
the gardens of Villa Olmo (open all day), the Tempio Voltiano,
city walls and towers from the Middle Ages etc.

Market:
On Saturday (all day) and on Tuesday and Thursday (mornings) there is a large market in Como.

Brunate viewpoint:
If the weather is clear, we recommend taking the cable car to Brunate. From there you have a wonderful view of Como and the lake.

Hike:
From Brunate, the hike to Monte Piatto and then down to Torno (2.30 hours) is worthwhile. From Como you can also take a hike through the Spina Verde Regional Park, which is at the door of the city. Ask for directions.
