How to reach Como

Trains
The Servizio Ferroviario Regionale connects Como by train to other major cities in Lombardia (R lines). Services are provided by Trenitalia and LeNORD through two main stations: Como S. Giovanni (Trenitalia) and Como Lago (LeNORD). There is another urban station served by Trenitalia (Albate) and three more urban stations served by LeNORD (Como Borghi-Università, Como Camerlata and Grandate Breccia). A trip to Milan costs 3.50€. From 2008 Como will also be connected to Milan with the line S9 of the Servizio Ferroviario Suburbano (S).

Local transport
The local public transport network counts 10 urban lines and 'extra-urban' lines connecting Como with most of its province centers. They are provided by SPTLinea. Urban bus tickets have to be bought before boarding the bus in newsstands or bars, a ticket for a single ride costs 1€, while a ticket for 75 minutes costs 1.05€.
The boats and 'aliscafi' of Navigazione del Lago di Como connect the town with most of the villages sitting on the shores of the lake, the former are slower and right for sightseeing, the latter are faster and make less stops.
A taxi service is provided by the Comune di Como.

Airports
The nearest International airports are Milano Malpensa and Lugano Agno. Milano Malpensa can be reached in about 1 hour either by bus (line C250) or by train (LeNORD for 8.10€), with interchange in Saronno. Other airports in the area include Milano Linate and Bergamo Orio al Serio. Both can be reached with shuttle buses from the Stazione Centrale in Milan, the former is also served by trams of the public transport system of Milan.
