Das Eigentum — Hotel Bellavista
Hotel Bellavista is a reliable three-star on Como's lakefront, with a small garden terrace that actually gives lake views. The lobby is modest but tidy, with polished marble floors and a front desk that hands out bus timetables without being asked. It suits independent travellers who want a clean, central base with parking included, not bells and whistles. You'll see more walkers in waterproofs than business suits, and the staff speak good English and charge some of the fairest rates for the location.
Chroniken von Como
Como was a Roman garrison town (Novum Comum) founded by Julius Caesar in 59 BC, strategically placed at the southern tip of the lake. Its medieval centre grew around the cathedral (Duomo), a Gothic-Renaissance hybrid started in 1396 and finished in 1770. The city became a silk-manufacturing powerhouse from the 15th century onward, and today still supplies luxury houses like Gucci and Hermès. Contemporarily, Como balances high-end tourism with a real working town: the funicular to Brunate and the waterfront promenade get busy, but the backstreets sell real cheese, not only souvenirs.
Beste Zeit zu besuchen
Vollständiger Como-Guide →Die besten Monate
May (22°C, fewer crowds than summer, wildflowers on hillsides)June (long evenings, swimming season starts, lake warm)September (27°C still possible, wine harvest events, lower prices)
Peak / Festival Surge
July–August is absolute peak. Lake Como is wall-to-wall with day-trippers from Milan, cruises queue at the jetties, and hotel prices double. The main event is the Como Festival in late July (classical music in villas). Book a year ahead or pay 50% more.
Budget Schulter Saison
April and October are the best shoulder months: 15–18°C, half the visitors, 30–40% discounts on rooms. Many lakeside restaurants still open, but ferry schedules thinner from mid-October.
Wetter & Verpackung
Como's Lake effect means cool dawns even in summer – the water stays below 20°C until late June. Pack a light fleece or cashmere wrap for evenings, and always bring a compact umbrella: short but intense showers happen in any month.
Live City Briefing veröffentlicht — Como
- The funicular to Brunate is closed for maintenance until September 2025; take bus C50 from the lakeside instead.
- New pedestrian zone on Via Borgo Vico launched June 2025 – no cars between 10am and 11pm, better for walking but expect diversions.
- Lake water temperature reached 24°C in late June 2025, three weeks earlier than average – bring swim gear even in early season.
Your Perfect Room
✨ AI-generated · Jul 2026Before you check in to Hotel Bellavista, here's what to know about choosing the right room.
Best rooms to request
Request a room on the third or fourth floor facing the lake (south side). These upper floors should be quieter than lower ones and offer partial lake views over the rooftops, given the central Como location.
Rooms to avoid
Avoid rooms on the first floor (European ground floor) or second floor, as they are more likely to face the street directly. Also avoid rooms near the lift shaft, which can hum or ding late at night.
Best views
Lake-facing rooms on floors 3 or 4 offer the best views of Lake Como, the surrounding mountains, and the town centre. Corner rooms on these floors may also give side views of the lake plus the cathedral dome.
Quietest floors
Floors 3 and 4 are the quietest in this building, being above street-level noise but below the roof where equipment may sit.
🔊 Noise notes
Como’s city centre is busy with scooters, buses, and pedestrians until late. The hotel’s location on Viale Fratelli Rosselli (a dual carriageway) means rooms on the street side get traffic noise from around 7am to 9pm. Weekends can also bring crowds from the nearby ferry terminal.
Insider tips
1) If arriving by car, book a parking spot in advance – the hotel has limited off-street parking and Como’s ZTL (traffic-restricted zone) is strict. 2) Ask for a room on the south side facing the lake when you book, and confirm at check-in. 3) For a quiet start, request breakfast in the room rather than the dining room, which can be busy with tour groups.
- 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 bank ATMs inside the city for the best rates; avoid exchange bureaux at Como San Giovanni station or the tourist office by the lake as they charge poor rates and fees.
Contactless cards and Apple Pay/Google Pay are widely accepted in most shops, cafés, and restaurants; small bars or market stalls may be cash-only, so carry some small notes.
Not expected. Leave a few coins (€1–2) for good service in restaurants; rounding up the fare is fine for taxis; hotel staff do not expect tips, but €1–2 for a porter is appreciated.
Essen, Einkaufen und Reisen auf einem Budget
Cheap car hire →An espresso at a local bar costs about €1.20–€1.50; standing at the counter is cheaper than sitting.
A pizza al taglio slice or a panino from a bakery costs roughly €5–€8; a fixed-menu lunch in a trattoria is about €12–€15.
A main course in a modest restaurant runs €12–€18; a glass of house wine is about €4–€6.
Head to the area around Via Alessandro Volta or the market near Piazza Cavour for cheap takeaway pizza, focaccia, and arancini.
Budget supermarkets include Lidl, Aldi, and Carrefour Express; all have a couple of branches in central Como.
Via Plinio has a few mid-range chain stores (H&M, OVS) for affordable basics; the Saturday market in Piazza San Fedele sells cheap clothing and accessories.
Walk the historic centre and lakeside (it's compact). The city bus (line 1, 2, 6) single ticket is €1.50; day pass is €5. From Milan Malpensa, take the Malpensa Express to Como Lago (about €13 one-way), then walk into town.
Eat lunch away from the immediate lakefront – walk 5 minutes inland to find better-value trattorias.Buy a picnic from the local deli or supermarket (e.g. Lidl) and eat on the benches by the lake instead of paying restaurant mark-ups for the view.Skip the overpriced funicular café; instead bring your own drink to the top of Brunate for the same panorama.

🚐 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.
