COMO Itinerary - Total Driver availability 8h

•  Pick up at Hilton Hotel in Venice

• Travel to Como Lake (about 4 hours travel time)

• Tour of about 4 hours driver disposal for tour. Itinerary Options (choose one of the following options):

  • A: Funicular Railway to Brunate) Overview of the lake from the top of the mountain via the  Funicular Railway to Brunate town for a spectacular view of the lake. the cost of the Funicular is €5.50 approximately for round trip from Como central area. The ride is relatively short. The ride is visually breath taking and somewhat exciting (see pictures here). You can stop at the top for a view (there are restaurants here as well as ice cream bars). THie option could reduce the touring time to 2h intead of 4h. In this case the tour would cost €100 less

  • B: Fox Town Outlet Mall) Visit the outlet mall for famous brand name shopping at good discounts. See here for details

  • C: Villa Carlotta Visit) Reach and visit this impressive Villa along the lake west coast (see pictures here). Entrance tickets €9 pp, travel time from Cernobbio about 40 minutes each way.

  • D: Drive along the lake to reach Bellagio) Not suggested - While the town of Bellagio is very nice, the ride is along a curvy road and takes 1.5 hours each way, leaving very little time to see the town of Bellagio. It may also be too tiering. If interested I sugest to do it on the 30th via water way public transportation from Cernobbio.
