Getting to Lake Como

Travel

Whether you're travelling from abroad or elsewhere in Italy, getting to Lake Como is straightforward. Here's everything you need to know about reaching the lake and making your way to the wedding weekend.

Arriving in Lake Como

Cernobbio sits on the western shore of Lake Como, just a few minutes from the town of Como and about an hour from Milan. Whether you fly, train, or drive, here is everything you'll need to find your way to us.

Milan Malpensa
MXP
About 1 hour by car

The largest international hub, with direct long-haul flights and easy private transfers to the lake.

Milan Linate
LIN
About 1 hour by car

Closest to central Milan and convenient for European connections.

Bergamo Orio al Serio
BGY
About 1 hour 15 by car

A budget-friendly option served by many low-cost European carriers.

Lugano (Switzerland)
LUG
About 45 minutes by car

A small, scenic alternative just across the Swiss border, north of the lake.

By Train

From Milano Centrale, direct trains reach Como San Giovanni in about 40 minutes. From there, it's a short ten-minute taxi ride to hotels in Cernobbio, or a scenic ferry hop across the water to the Cernobbio landing.

By Bus

Regular coach services connect Milan's airports and city centre to Como, with stops close to most hotels. It's a relaxed, budget-friendly option — just allow a little extra time for the final stretch on to Cernobbio.

By Car Rental

Renting a car gives you the freedom to explore the lake at your own pace. The drive from Milan takes about an hour, and most hotels in Como and Cernobbio offer on-site or nearby parking for guests.

By Private Transfer

For a seamless door-to-door journey, a private driver can collect you from the airport and take you straight to your hotel. Some hotels can organize this for you directly — just ask when you book.
