Weekend at Lake Como: One Day in Como and Brunate, Como, Italy

Lake Como in Italy has been on my list since the beginning of my trips to this amazing country. However, I’ve been putting it off for various reasons – weather, high prices, and lack of time. Finally, after over a year of putting it off, I made my way north, to the beautiful Lombardy. Thanks to perfect flight schedule from one of the famous European low cost airlines, I could afford to spend 3 unforgettable nights in the southern town named after the lake – Como. Here is my One day in Como and Brunate guide.

One thing I love the most about Italy is its efficient train system! Stepping off an airplane in Milan Malpensa, you are only a short walk from the train station and essentially few hours away from almost anywhere in Italy! Same goes for such amazing destinations, as Lake Como, Lake Maggiore or even Lugano. The train ride from the airport is around 1h40min and costs 10,50€.

Lake Como can be easily reached from Milan as a day trip, but I wouldn’t recommend doing so due to the large amount of attractions and things to do. ...... (follow the instructions below for accessing the rest of this article).
