Transport in Lake Como
- charlie_b: Does anyone know if the fast ferry tickets sell out way in advance during June? Trying to figure out if I need to book the hydrofoil now or if I can just show up at the dock in Menaggio.
Hidden gems in Lake Como
- mariah88: Get the bus up to Pigra and then take the cable car down. The view is way better than the expensive spots in Bellagio and there were zero crowds when I went yesterday.
Costs in Lake Como
- lucas_v: Everything is so overpriced here honestly. Paying 15 euro for a basic spritz just because there is a lake view is kind of a rip off.
Activities in Lake Como
- sophiek: Is Villa del Balbianello actually worth the entry fee? I've seen the photos but the tours seem really short for the price they are asking.
Hikes in Lake Como
- joshw: The Greenway del Lago path is a nice easy walk if you want to see the villas without paying for a boat tour.
