Activity itinerary

Piazza Cavour

Begin the journey at Piazza Cavour, the main square of Como located right on the water's edge, for a 1-hour visit. Walk along the lakeside promenade, take in views of passing boats, and enjoy complimentary photography opportunities with your guide capturing memorable moments. Flat, paved terrain makes this an easy walking stop for all fitness levels.

Cattedrale di Santa Maria Assunta - Duomo di Como

Spend 1 hour exploring the Duomo di Como, a masterpiece of Gothic and Renaissance architecture located in the heart of the city. Head inside to marvel at its detailed tapestries, striking statues, and soaring vaulted ceilings. Entry to the cathedral is included, though visitors must ensure shoulders and knees are covered when entering this active place of worship.

Funicolare Como-Brunate (stazione a monte)

1h
Admission ticket included

Board the historic Funicolare Como-Brunate for a 1-hour experience, riding the cable railway up the mountain to the village of Brunate. Take in sweeping, elevated views over Lake Como and the surrounding Alpine foothills from the mountain station lookout point. Ticket fees for the funicular are included, and comfortable walking shoes are suggested for exploring the hilltop paths.

Piazza della Riforma

Cross the border into Switzerland to spend 30 minutes in Piazza della Riforma, the grand central square of Lugano. Admire the pastel-colored neoclassical buildings, vibrant outdoor cafes, and civic architecture that line the plaza. This flat, open square offers a brief rest stop to soak in the Swiss Italian culture and atmosphere.

Riva Antonio Caccia

Stroll along Riva Antonio Caccia during a 30-minute lakeside walk in Lugano. Enjoy scenic water views, view elegant shorefront villas, and admire modern sculptures dotted along the route. The wide, level promenade is suitable for a leisurely walk, though travellers should bring valid identification such as a passport for the international border crossing.

Parco Ciani

Conclude the itinerary with a 1-hour visit to Parco Ciani, a famous 22-hectare lakeside park filled with ancient trees, manicured lawns, and colourful flowerbeds. Walk through the tranquil garden paths down to the famous wrought-iron gate resting directly at the edge of Lake Lugano. Food and drink purchases are at your own expense during free time in the park before heading back on the return transfer.
