How to get to lake Como
Trains arrive daily at Como from Milan every hour. The trip takes 40 minutes. The primary station, Stazione San Giovanni, Piazzale San Gottardo, lies at the conclusion of Viale Gallio, a 15- minute walk in the center (Piazza Cavour).
The city of Como is 40km (25 miles) north of Milan; you are able to drive there Via A9. Once in the Como, a little road (S583) leads to the resort of Bellagio. Making your way around Bus service connecting the main towns across the lake emerges by SPT, Piazza Matteotti (& 031-2769911). Travel time depends on the traffic. Como is renowned for its silk industry. Most visitors at least go through here to consider a cruise on the lake.
Como is also a commercial city and for vacations this isn’t the best place to stay (head instead to one from the more appealing resorts along the lake, for example Bellagio), if you don’t have your own car and therefore are determined by the bus (whereby it’s the most convenient base). For hundreds of years, the town’s economy has been linked to Milan. Como has been making silk since Marco Polo first returned with silkworms from China (at the end of World War II, however, Como leaves the cultivation of silk to the Chinese and imports the thread to weave into fabrics).
Como’s silk makers are major suppliers for designers in Milan, and big names like Giorgio Armani come here to discuss the patterns they want with silk manufacturers.
