What to Expect
Your experience begins in the historic center of Como, where your private English-speaking guide will be waiting to welcome you.
You will walk through the elegant pedestrian area and charming medieval streets, lined with refined boutiques and overlooked by the majestic Cathedral.
As you move through the city, you will pass through Piazza Cavour, Piazza Duomo, Piazza San Fedele, Piazza Volta, and Piazza Mazzini, vibrant squares where everyday life unfolds among locals and visitors.
Along the way, you will experience Como like a local, pausing to enjoy a traditional aperitif, tasting authentic Italian pizza, and finishing with artisan gelato as you continue exploring the city’s lively alleys and hidden corners.
In the afternoon, the perspective changes. You will board the historic Brunate funicular, in operation since 1894, and begin a scenic ascent as the city of Como gradually opens beneath you, revealing its beauty from above.
At the top, you will reach the village of Brunate, known as “the balcony of the Alps,” where breathtaking panoramic views unfold across Lake Como, the surrounding mountains, and, on clear days, as far as Milan and the Brianza region.
Here, among Liberty-style villas and quiet streets, you will take in one of the most spectacular viewpoints of the area, offering a memorable and elevated perspective of the lake and its landscape.
This experience brings together the elegance of Como, the pleasure of its local flavors, and the beauty of Lake Como from above — creating a memorable journey through culture, lifestyle, and scenery.
