Como - entrance to a beautiful lake

Como - entrance to Lake Como / Lario

Duomo in Como
Como is a sprawling town with a lovely older centre, where the duomo is well worth a visit. When I last visited it was closed to the public but it's a lovely building to take photos of...
Duomo
The seafront promenade is inviting for the typical evening 'passegiata' - the stroll where you can watch - and be seen - by others! Lovely restaurants look inviting but beware of the tourist prices.

The boats run regularly and take you all over the lake, either in a fast moving ferry or a slower 'lakebus'. A trip on such a boat is not to be missed and the views are awesome.

Pros:"Quirky old centre with lovely shops & cafes; street markets; boats going out across the lake"
Cons:"Big sprawling industrial town."
In A Nutshell:"Catch a first glimpes of Lake Como... you'll want to come back!"
