Hotel
Family and friends are encouraged to stay at the Grand Hotel Imperiale. We do recommend booking sooner rather than later as there is no official room block and reservations are on a first come first serve basis!
Flight
Milan Malpensa International Airport is 60mi (95km) from Como. Guests heading directly to Como from the airport can opt for train, car rental, or private shuttle transfers. Train: catch the Malpensa Express from the airport to Saronno. You will then transfer to the Trenord regional line arriving in Como, total duration approximately 1.5 hours. Car: head to Terminal 1 to find every major car rental company. Be sure to book your rental in advance, confirm parking at your accommodation in Como, give yourself a little cushion for reservation times (better to be a few minutes early than late), and don't forget to bring your International Driver's License! Private Transfers: Lake Como Transfers offers private shuttles services from the airport direct to your destination in Como. The ride will take 1.5 - 2.5hrs. Providers do book up so make sure to schedule in advance, including your return if necessary!
Train
Milan Centrale Station in the Piazza Duca D'Aosta is an attraction in and of itself. Plan some extra time to take in the architecture and navigate one of Europe's busiest transportation hubs. About 5 - 10 trains head to Como daily and tickets can be purchased a month in advance or minutes before departure at the station. The ride is a quick 35 - 50min through the Lombardy region and arriving in Como center.
Rental Car
Private car transfers can be booked in advance for direct transportation from the Milan International Airport to your Lake Como accommodations.
