Como (Italy) > Reviews (10)

Como is a beautiful city on the lake. You can easy reach Como from Milan by train in less then an hour or, if you are coming from North Europe, Como is the first city across the border with Switzerland.
Como downtown is very cute and full of historical monuments.
Only a couple of minutes by walk from Piazza Cavour, the main square of the city, near the lake, you can arrive in Piazza del Duomo where you can visit the Cathedral.
An other very good and very ancient square is Piazza San Fedele, with the San Fedele Church. It's only 10 minutes by walk from the Cathedral.
Como is also known as "silk city" because there are a lot of silk factory. If you want buy silk and save money, you can go to some Silk Outlet around the city.
If you like to walk, you can easily visit Como by walk. If the weather is good, you can go to Brunate by the cable car and you'll see a wonderful panorama of the city!
You can also take a tour by boat on the lake. There are 1 hour tours and half day tours. From the lake you can see very nice houses. Some houses are own by important people like actors, football players, singers... for example you can see George Clooney house!
