Overview

The centre of Como is an amazing merge of Classicism and Rationalism; in front of it, the beautiful lake Lario meets the surrounding Alps, in a breathtaking encounter.
It is all a matter of balance, harmony, and this private tour will help you to feel it deeply.
After a pleasant walk in Como, reaching the majestic Baroque Cathedral as well as some masterpieces of Italian architecture of the 1920s, you will head to Cernobbio - with its exclusive Grand Hotel - and pass by Isola Comacina. Meanwhile, some outstanding mansions will be visible, facing the lake. A short transfer by ferryboat will lead you to Bellagio, the pearl of Lario, standing at the very heart of Lario, where the three branches meet one another. A few miles around, a saucerful of pure beauty.

What To Expect

Monumento Ai Caduti (Pass By)

Designed by a master of Italian Rationalism, Giuseppe Terragni, this massive, 30 metres-high tower was inspired by some sketches by Futurist painter Antonio Sant'Elia, born in Como and killed during World War I. The monument was inaugurated in 1933, on November 4th.

Cattedrale Di Como

The most important religious building of Como is also the third in Lombardia district for dimension, after the Duomo in Milan and the Charteuse in Pavia. The start of the construction is more or less the same for the three building, i.e. the end of 14th century. The cathedral took the place of the pristine church of Santa Maria Maggiore, which had become too small for the community needs. The construction lasted more than 300 years, thus the visible styles are Gothic (facade), Renaissance (sides and apses), Baroque (dome).
