The bus is the lowest-cost option. The journey takes about twice as long as driving, but with fares as little as $6, it is a great way to save money.
How long does it take to get from Milan to Como by car?
It takes about an hour to drive from Milan to Lake Como.
What is the quickest way to get from Milan to Como?
Hiring a private driver is the fastest way to get from your address in Milan to your address in Como. This way, you avoid the travel time between your accommodations and the train stations.
What is the distance between Milan and Como?
Milan and Como are 30 miles (50 km) apart, making for an easy day trip.
How long does the transfer from Milan to Como City take?
The transfer from Milan to Como City typically takes about 50 minutes by private car, covering approximately 50 kilometers (31 miles). This is faster than public transportation options, which can take 1-1.5 hours depending on connections. Travel time may vary slightly depending on traffic conditions, especially during rush hours and summer weekends.
What are the must-see attractions in Como?
The key attractions in Como City include the magnificent Gothic-Renaissance Como Cathedral (Duomo), the scenic lakefront promenade with stunning Alpine views, the funicular railway to Brunate for panoramic vistas, the historic center with its charming piazzas, and elegant silk shops showcasing Como's famous textile heritage. The Tempio Voltiano museum and Villa Olmo are also worth visiting.
Is Como City a good day trip destination from Milan?
Absolutely! Como City is one of the most popular and rewarding day trips from Milan. Just 50 minutes away, it offers a perfect contrast to Milan's urban energy with its lakeside charm, mountain views, and relaxed atmosphere. The compact historic center is easily explored on foot, and boat trips on the lake provide a different perspective of the stunning surroundings.
What's the difference between Como City and other Lake Como towns?
Como City is the largest town on Lake Como, offering urban amenities with historic architecture, shopping, and dining options. Unlike smaller lakeside villages like Bellagio or Varenna that focus primarily on tourism, Como is a working Italian city with local life. It's located at the southern tip of the lake's western branch, making it more accessible but less centrally positioned for viewing the lake's famous middle section.
Can I take a boat trip from Como City to see other parts of Lake Como?
Yes, Como City serves as a major hub for lake navigation services. Regular ferries and hydrofoils depart from Como to destinations like Bellagio, Varenna, Menaggio, and Tremezzo. A popular option is the "centro lago" service that explores the lake's most scenic middle section where the three branches meet. Boat trips range from 30-minute scenic cruises to full-day explorations of the lake.
What should I know about Como before arriving?
Como City combines historic charm with modern amenities on Lake Como's southwestern shore. The city is compact and walkable, with most attractions concentrated in and around the walled old town. Italian is the primary language, though English is widely spoken in tourist areas. The weather is generally mild year-round thanks to the lake's moderating influence, though summers can be hot and humid.
Is it possible to visit the Alfa Romeo Museum between Milan and Como?
Yes, the Alfa Romeo Museum in Arese makes an excellent stop between Milan and Como. Located about 20 minutes north of Milan, this modern museum showcases the iconic Italian car manufacturer's history through beautifully displayed vintage automobiles, racing cars, prototypes, and interactive exhibits. You can easily incorporate this culturally significant attraction into your journey to Como City.
What's the best time of year to visit Como City from Milan?
The best time to visit Como City is during late spring (May-June) and early fall (September-October) when temperatures are pleasant (65-75Β°F/18-24Β°C), tourist crowds are manageable, and the surrounding mountains are lush and green. Summer (July-August) brings warmer temperatures and more tourists, while winter offers a quieter experience with Christmas markets and occasional lake fog creating a mystical atmosphere.

Great transfer option.

β€œI used this service for a transfer from Split in Croatia to Perast Montenegro. My experience was exceptional. My driver Bojan was helpful, informative and ensured my journey was comfortable and enjoyable. I highly recommend the service.”

It was a fantastic trip.

β€œWe were extremely satisfied with the quality of service we received from Day Trip. We had two Day Trip rides on August 31 from Athens to Lefkada and September 7 from Lefkada back to Athens. Both trips included stops at scenic sites in Greece. Both drivers were excellent and accommodating. However, we’d especially like to recognize Panos Peppas, who was our driver from Lefkada to Athens. Panos was incredibly nice & pleasant and delivered outstanding customer service, which included handling all of luggage, providing us with cold waters throughout the trip, providing us protein bars, providing us with printed materials on the Corinth Canal (one of scenic stops), looking up and providing us with terminal & gate info for our flight back home and providing us with a recipe for tzatziki.”

Reasonably Priced and Safe Transportation

β€œGonzalo from daytrip was our driver and he was absolutely amazing. He went over and beyond trying to locate us as our service wasn't so good on our phones. He patiently awaited our arrival to the lobby so he could take us from Tulum Dreams Resort to our other hotel in cancun an hour and a half away near the airport prior to our departure flight home. He was polite, respectful and kind. Made sure we were comfortable during our long ride. Fast and to the point. I recommend this company as finding a one way ride from Tulum to Cancun isn't easy or cheap and this company provides a great service for a great price. I will definitely be using them again whenever I'm in the Cancun/Tulum area. Thank you DayTrip and Gonzola.”

Daytrip never disappoints

β€œWe were picked up by Marianna to drive us from Heraklion to Chania. The weather was terrible & due to this Marianna arrived a few minutes late. She contacted me to advise of this. Marianna lives in Chana and she made our trip very interesting by informing us of local things to do and see in Chania. Marianna is a safe driver and we all felt comfortable with the speed she drove at and how good her driving was in heavy rain. She is a lovely person with fluent English. We highly recommend Daytrips and if you are in Heraklion or Chania please make sure you ask for Marianna.”

Comfortable and Safe Rides in Mexico

β€œUsed Daytrip for two rides in Mexico, which were both great. So comfortable, and we arrived at each of our destinations at a great time. Both were incredible drivers, and we felt so safe. One of our drivers, Miguel, also played the best music! Will definitely use Daytrip on our next trip to Mexico.”

Great way to travel and see some sights on the way

β€œWe did not know what to expect with this trip and booked from Australia. We were initially looking for an easy way to travel from Granada to Malaga. We decided not to waste the opportunity to see something additional on our way. Miguel certainly exceeded our expectations. His English was excellent (unfortunately we speak very little Spanish), and he was very friendly and helpful. We thoroughly enjoyed hearing about the regions as we passed through and also discussing some of the local ways. Miguel took us to Antequera as planned and ensured we were able to easily get our tickets to the attractions without any sense of rushing us. We were picked up and dropped off punctually and really enjoyed our trip. Hopefully we will return to Spain and we can use this service again sometime.”

Excellent service

β€œWe used the service twice while in Thailand. Extremely prompt and efficient customer service. Best rate being offered in Chiang Mai for the travels. Polite, punctual, professional and English speaking drivers. Clean, comfortable vehicles. Being a regular visitor to Thailand, this was hands down the best service. Most pleased with the company. I hope it sustains the excellence of service that was rendered to us.”
