Where to Stay in Como Centro Storico, Como

The old town inside the medieval city walls, between the lakefront and the main square, Piazza Cavour. It's the historic, commercial heart of Como.

✦ The vibe

Bustling, elegant, and full of narrow cobbled lanes, cafes, and designer shops. It's proper city living right on the lake edge.

👤 Best for

First-time visitors, couples, anyone who wants to be in the thick of the action and walk to everything.

🏨 Where to stay

A mix of grand historic hotels (like the Hotel Como) and smart boutique B&Bs. Price feel: expensive, especially for lake views.

🚇 Getting around

Very walkable. The lakefront, funicular, and train station are all within 10-15 minutes' walk. Malpensa airport: bus from Como station or train to Milan then shuttle.
