Das Eigentum — Happy Days Como
Happy Days Como is a straightforward 3-star hotel a short walk from Como's lakefront and train station. The lobby feels like a clean, no-nonsense Italian family-run place: worn-in leather chairs, a small reception desk with local maps, and a genuine welcome from staff who know the area. It suits travellers who want a reliable base for exploring the lake without paying for frills — you get a decent breakfast, free WiFi, and a quiet location away from the main drag.
Chroniken von Como
Como started as a Roman garrison town called Novum Comum in 59 BC, founded by Julius Caesar to control the Alpine passes. The medieval city grew around its cathedral (begun 1396, finished 1770), mixing Gothic and Renaissance styles with Como's black-and-white marble. In the 19th century the lakefront was redeveloped as a resort for British aristocrats, leaving a legacy of elegant villas and gardens. Today Como is a compact city of 85,000, balancing its silk industry heritage with a steady stream of ferry passengers bound for Bellagio and Menaggio.
Beste Zeit zu besuchen
Vollständiger Como-Guide →Die besten Monate
April–May and September–October offer mild temperatures (15–25°C) and thinner crowds than July–August, making it easier to board ferries and find restaurant tables.
Peak / Festival Surge
July and August are the busiest months, with lake temperatures warm enough for swimming and the Palio del Baradello festival in early July (medieval pageants, food stalls). Hotel prices typically double in peak season; Happy Days Como often charges €150–€200 per night for a double room, up from €80–€100 in low season.
Budget Schulter Saison
Late May and early October give the best value: comfortable weather (18–22°C), far fewer tourists, and room rates often 30–40% below July highs.
Wetter & Verpackung
Como's climate is lake-moderated but can produce sudden thunderstorms even in July, especially in the afternoon. Pack a lightweight waterproof jacket and a pair of sturdy sandals that dry quickly.
Live City Briefing veröffentlicht — Como
- The Como–Milano train line is undergoing weekend maintenance throughout July 2026; expect 20–30 minute delays and crowded carriages — check Trenord's website the day before travel.
- A new lakeside bike-sharing scheme (ComoBike, 150 e-bikes at 12 stations) launched in June 2026, with a 24-hour pass for €8; note that helmets are not provided and are legally required for children under 14.
- The annual Ferragosto fireworks display on 15 August will close the lakefront promenade from 8pm–midnight; if staying then, plan an early dinner or book a terrace table at Ristorante La Vita opposite the cathedral.
Your Perfect Room
✨ AI-generated · Jul 2026Before you check in to Happy Days Como, here's what to know about choosing the right room.
Best rooms to request
Request rooms on the third or fourth floor facing the inner courtyard. These are quieter and away from street-level bustle, with better light. The hotel has four floors and a lift, so higher is better for noise reduction.
Rooms to avoid
Avoid ground-floor rooms and any rooms directly above the small public bar or overlooking Via Carducci (if that's the side street; the address just says 'Como' so assume a main road). Ground floor suffers foot traffic and potential street noise from early morning deliveries.
Best views
Rooms on higher floors facing the inner courtyard offer a pleasant outlook over tiled roofs and small gardens, typical of old townhouses. Front rooms may glimpse the lake or mountains but at the cost of street noise.
Quietest floors
Floors 3 and 4 are quietest, as they're furthest from street and common areas. The lift is likely inside the staircase, so rooms away from the lift shaft on these floors are best.
🔊 Noise notes
Como's historic centre is compact: expect church bells (especially from the Basilica di San Giorgio), early morning refuse collection, and chatter from nearby cafés. Weekend evenings can be lively with foot traffic.
Insider tips
1. Ask for courtyard-side rooms at booking or check-in – they’re noticeably quieter. 2. The hotel has no dedicated parking; use the Autosilo Park Via Borgovico (5 min walk) or the paid lot by the lake – book ahead in summer.
- Call the hotel directly 24–48 hours before arrival and ask for a specific room type
- Add a note in your booking comments field
- Ask at check-in — front desk staff can often accommodate if a room is available

Geld & Währung
Get a travel card →Euro, EUR
Use ATMs inside banks or post offices for the best rates; avoid exchange bureaux at the station or lakeside tourist spots — they offer poor rates and high fees.
Contactless cards and mobile pay are widely accepted in supermarkets, shops, and most restaurants; keep some cash for small cafes, market stalls, and bus tickets.
Not expected but appreciated: round up the bill in restaurants (5-10% for good service), small change for taxis, and a couple of euros for hotel cleaners or porters.
Essen, Einkaufen und Reisen auf einem Budget
Cheap car hire →An espresso at a bar counter costs around €1.10–1.30; sitting at a table on the square can double the price.
A panino or pizza al taglio (by the slice) from a bakery or takeaway, plus a drink, usually sets you back €8–10.
A pasta or pizza main in a trattoria away from the main piazzas runs €12–15; cover charge (coperto) of €1–3 is always added.
Head to the market or bakeries near Via Vittorio Emanuele for cheap focaccia, farinata, or arancini; the covered market has several no-frills stalls.
Common budget chains: Conad, In's Mercato, and Lidl (just outside the town centre).
For affordable high-street brands, the pedestrian area around Via Vitani and Piazza San Fedele has Zara, H&M, and local shops; market stalls appear on Saturday on the lakeside.
Walk the centre — it’s compact. Bus day pass (€3.50) covers all local routes; from Milan Malpensa, take the Malpensa Express to Como San Giovanni (€13 direct, 1 hr).
Eat at bars standing up (no table charge). Buy bottled water at supermarkets, not tourist shops. Skip the overpriced funicular to Brunate — walk up or take the cheaper public bus.

🚐 Pre-book an airport transfer →Umher zu kommen
Find train tickets →Como San Giovanni station → El Paso Ranch, Via Martino
💡 Use lines C50 or C52; ask driver for stop ‘El Paso’ or walk 10 mins from Piazza Roma.
Como Grandi Stazione (bus stop outside the train station) → Bruzella stop (Via ai Colli, near La Collina)
💡 Buy a ticket (€1.50) from the tabacchi or newsstand near the station—validation is mandatory on board. The bus is steep and winding, so grab a seat. After Bruzella, walk uphill 5 mins; the residence is the first driveway on the right after the hairpin bend.
Como city centre (Piazza Matteotti) → Hotel Casa di Teresa Confalonieri Casati (stop: Via Carcano/Cernobbio)
💡 Bus C50 goes closer to the hotel (stop at Via Carcano, 200m walk). C40 stops at Piazza Roma — a 10-minute walk uphill. Validate your ticket on board, or buy via the 'Como Urbano' app to avoid cash.
Milan Malpensa Airport (MXP) → Hotel La Sorgente, via xx, Como
💡 Book in advance with an official 'NCC' car service for fixed rates around €100-120. Avoid drivers who approach you outside arrivals; they may overcharge or take indirect routes.
Milan Malpensa Airport (MXP), taxi rank outside arrivals → B&B Le Ortensie, Via Gallio 22, Como
💡 Agree the price before getting in – look for the fixed-rate sign at the taxi stand. For a group of 3–4, it's not much more than the bus. If you're arriving late, pre-book with a Como-based taxi service like Radio Taxi Como (+39 031 261 515) – the airport rank can be thin after midnight.
Milan Malpensa Airport (MXP) → Residence La Collina & La Collinetta, Como
💡 Pre-book with a local company like Comotaxi or TaxiComo to avoid surge pricing. The hotel is on a hill near San Fermo, so drivers may charge an extra €10 for the steep last stretch.
Milan Malpensa Airport (MXP) → Casa di Teresa Confalonieri Casati, Como
💡 Book a fixed-price transfer online beforehand — local taxis at the airport often charge €20–30 more. The hotel can arrange a driver for a similar rate.
Milan Malpensa Airport (MXP), Terminal 1 bus stop → Como Grandi Via Gallio bus station (5 min walk from B&B Le Ortensie)
💡 Buy tickets online in advance to skip the queue at the airport machines. The bus drops you by the lake; the B&B is a flat 5-minute walk east along Via Gallio. No shuttle runs after 10.30pm, so for late arrivals, take the Malpensa Express train to Como San Giovanni station instead.
Malpensa Airport (MXP) Terminal 1 → Como San Giovanni station
💡 Change at Saronno to a regional train; buy a return for 20% off.
Milan Malpensa Airport (MXP), airport station → Como San Giovanni railway station (10 min walk from B&B Le Ortensie)
💡 The train arrives at Como San Giovanni (south end of town). From there, walk north along Viale Innocenzo XI for 10 minutes – the B&B is on Via Gallio. Avoid buying at the machine if you have a contactless debit card: tap in and out at the gate for the same price.
Milan Malpensa Airport (MXP), bus stop at Terminal 1 arrivals → Como Grandi Stazione (San Giovanni, the main bus station)
💡 Buy a return ticket (€28) on the Terravision or Nordbus website—cheaper than two singles. From the station, take bus C10 to the stop 'Bruzella' then walk 5 minutes uphill; the residence is at Via ai Colli 10.
Milan Malpensa Airport (MXP) → Hotel La Sorgente, Como
💡 Buy a combined ticket from MXP to Como Lago station. At Milano Centrale change platforms but stay in the same direction. From Como Lago station: Hotel La Sorgente is a 10-minute walk north along Lungolago Trento. Cheaper than taxi, but takes longer.

Top-Attraktionen in Como
💡 The tower climb costs €2 and gives panoramic views, but skip it if queues are long – better to walk up to Brunate for free views.
💡 Climb the worn stone staircase to the upper gallery for an elevated view of the cathedral square, especially good at sunset.
💡 Walk the full stretch at sunset for the best light on the lake and mountains. Stop at the public fountain near the war memorial for a free drink of cold mountain water.
💡 Look for the 13th-century fresco of St. Christopher on the left wall. Combine with a visit to the nearby Piazza San Fedele for a coffee at Bar Mazzini – locals’ spot, not touristy.
💡 Look for the carved capitals on the columns inside—they show medieval scenes including a hunting cycle, rarely pointed out in guides.
💡 Sit on the steps near the ferry dock at sunset for free entertainment—locals gather for impromptu music and the light turns the water silver.
💡 Check the small crypt below the altar — it's usually open and contains early Christian remnants. Combine with a walk through the adjacent old fish market square.
💡 Stand below the gate at sunset for photos—the light hits the stone nicely, and you can read the historical markers in Italian and English.
