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.

Dreamy Italy Vacations For You

Italy Vacations – Why Is Lake Como is the Best Choice?

Lake Como is a top choice for many travelers planning Italy vacations. As the 3rd largest of all the lakes in Italy, and the deepest in Europe at 400 meters or 1,312 feet, it has been a prime destination for some of the wealthiest Italians and other prominent figures for centuries.

While visiting the many picturesque villages, castles and towers in this Italian lake, you sometimes get the feeling that you are in Tuscany with lush gardens of flowering azaleas and other times like you are somewhere on the Mediterranean coast with sparkling waters and lakeside breezes.

Imagine your perfect Italy vacation…view crystal blue waters from the outdoor terrace of your villa, indulge in the sweet scent of may-lilies and roses while eating your delicious lunch lightly drizzled with the best home-made olive oil.
