A propriedade — Lumin
Lumin is a crisp, modern three-star on the western edge of Como’s historic centre, a ten-minute lakeside walk from the cathedral. The lobby trades marble for pale wood and terrazzo, with a bike-rental stand and a coffee bar that’s genuinely busy with locals. It suits travellers who want a clean, efficient base rather than old-world charm, and who prioritise proximity to the lake railway station over a room with a view.
Crónicas de Como
Como was founded as a Roman garrison town, Novum Comum, in 196 BC, later becoming a key Lombard duchy and a silk-manufacturing powerhouse by the 15th century. Its cathedral, a Gothic-Renaissance hybrid, took nearly 400 years to complete, and the neoclassical Villa Olmo and Tempio Voltiano reflect the city’s 19th-century role as a centre of scientific and aristocratic tourism. Today, Como remains a global silk and design hub, its narrow medieval streets and waterfront promenades drawing visitors in roughly equal measure to its lake ferries and its high-end boutiques.
Melhor época para visitar
Guia completo de Como →Melhores meses
May, June, September: warm enough for lake swimming and outdoor cafés, but without the full August crush. Crowds are manageable, and hotel prices are 20-30% below July highs.
Peak / Festival Surge
July and August; schools are out, lake temperatures peak, and the Palio del Baradello historical pageant (typically late August) can spike occupancy. Hotel rates at three-star properties like Lumin often double in August.
Orçamento da temporada
April and October offer rain risks but decent light, near-empty ferries and 30-40% discounts on summer rates. Restaurants still serve al fresco through October.
Tempo e embalagem
Como’s lake-effect humidity can turn a sunny 32°C afternoon into a close, thundery evening within an hour. Pack a light waterproof jacket and a spare pair of dry shoes as an explicit rule.
Livro City Briefing — Como
- The funicular to Brunate reopened in March 2026 after a six-month upgrade; the new bi-directional cabins have doubled capacity, reducing queues on weekends.
- A pedestrianised zone around Piazza Cavour is being trialled from June to September 2026; cars are banned from 11am to midnight, which eases street noise but complicates taxi drop-offs.
- The annual ‘Como Città dei Balocchi’ toy-and-food festival runs 12–21 July 2026 in the Villa Olmo park, adding family footfall and occasional road closures along Viale Puecher.
Your Perfect Room
✨ AI-generated · Jul 2026Before you check in to Lumin, here's what to know about choosing the right room.
Best rooms to request
Request a room on the first or second floor at the rear of the building, overlooking the internal courtyard. These rooms are quieter and often have a balcony with a partial view of the old town rooftops.
Rooms to avoid
Avoid rooms on the third floor fronting the street, as the lift machinery is directly above and street noise from the pedestrianised zone (which can be busy till late) is most noticeable here. Also skip ground-floor rooms near the entrance: they get noise from the lobby and the early breakfast setup.
Best views
Rooms on the first and second floors at the front have a view of the historic street and the cathedral dome peeking above rooftops—pleasant but not spectacular. Rooms at the rear look onto tiled roofs and a small courtyard garden, which is more private and calming.
Quietest floors
First and second floors, especially those facing the inner courtyard or side alley, are the quietest. The building’s thick masonry helps, but these floors are furthest from street-level bustle and the roof terrace (if any).
🔊 Noise notes
Como’s old town is pedestrianised, so no car traffic, but restaurants and bars on the street below can generate lively noise until midnight, especially in summer. The lift (only 3 floors) is old and clunks audibly when passing the third floor. No central air conditioning: open windows in summer mean you hear the street.
Insider tips
1. If arriving by car, pre-book a spot in the paid parking at the Autosilo di Via Grossi, a 3-minute walk—street parking is nearly impossible. 2. Request a room with a small fridge (some have them) if you need to keep drinks cool; the minibar can be loud. 3. The lobby is tiny: check-in can be slow at peak times, so aim to arrive after 3pm.
- 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

Dinheiro e moeda
Get a travel card →Euro, EUR
Use local bank ATMs for the best rates; avoid exchange bureaux at the train station or tourist spots near the lake.
Visa and Mastercard are widely accepted; contactless and Apple Pay/Google Pay work in most shops, restaurants and hotels. Carry cash for small purchases and market stalls.
Tipping is not mandatory; round up the bill or leave 5-10% in restaurants for good service. Taxis and hotel staff appreciate a euro or two.
Comer, Comprar e Viajar em um Orçamento
Cheap car hire →A cappuccino or espresso at a bar (standing) costs around €1.20–1.50.
A slice of pizza (pizza al taglio) or a panino from a takeaway shop costs €4–6.
A main course like pasta or grilled meat at a trattoria costs about €12–18.
Head to the area around Piazza Cavour or the old town for cheap, quick bites; find panzerotti, arancini and pizza by the slice.
Supermarkets include Coop, Conad and Lidl; they are common in the city centre and near residential streets.
For affordable high-street fashion, walk along Via Vittorio Emanuele II or the shops near the train station; brands like OVS and Mango are there.
The cheapest way around Como is walking. A single bus ticket costs €1.30; a day pass (€3.50) is good value for multiple trips. From Milan Malpensa airport, take the Malpensa Express train to Como San Giovanni (about €13).
Eat standing up at a bar for coffee and breakfast – it’s cheaper than sitting down. Choose a trattoria away from the lakefront for better-value meals. Walk or use the bus instead of the funicular to save money.

💡 Booking tip: For popular restaurants in Como, book at least a week ahead — especially for weekend evenings and during festival season.
Your arrival at Lumin
🕒 Check-in is from . Arriving earlier? Most hotels store luggage free — just ask at reception.
🚐 Pre-book an airport transfer →Vindo ao redor
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.

Principais atrações em 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.
