Lake Como History


The History of Lake Como, Italy

The Very Beginning

The entire region of Lake Como was under a massive sheet of ice during the last Ice Age, roughly 10,000 years ago. The ‘upside-down Y’ shape of the lake as we know it today, was actually carved out of the mountains due to the slow movement of this enormous glacier. The displaced boulders now found on the Bellagio promontory which divide the two ‘legs’ of Como are proof of its tremendous force.

Getting from Milan to Lake Como

There are many ways that you can get from Milan to Lake Como using public transportation. You have the option of taking trains (two different services: normal and “le nord”), you can take a public bus or a shuttle bus.

Regular train service from Milan to Lake Como

The city of Como’s main train station – the Como San Giovanni station – is approximately 50 km from Milan’s downtown. A train-ride only takes roughly 40 minutes by normal train services. The trains are very cheap here too. As cheap as they are, don’t expect huge luxuries. They are certainly not as comfortable as the expensive ‘business class’ trains which travel from Milan to Rome. Be sure to use the toilets before getting on one! Check out www.trenitalia.it for more information on schedules.
