Como is not far from Milan, and it is a lively and splendid town with an appealing historical center and a scenic location. The city is famous for its lake, for its villas with stunning gardens and secular trees and for its famous "VIP" guests. It is also known for its Gothic-style Duomo and the pedestrian path along the lake.

The old town features elements from its Roman and medieval past, as well as religious buildings and palaces. Enjoy a cultural journey along the alleyways of the historical city center of Como. Admire the principal monuments such as the great Gothic-Renaissance Duomo, the “Broletto” - town hall Palace, the eighteenth-century “Teatro Sociale” and the church of San Fedele - a fine example of Romanesque style.

Another important historical point is certainly Villa Olmo, the most impressive among the villas of Lake Como. It consists of a vast complex that in addition to a large park includes several buildings. You will visit the Museo Voltiano, the most visited museum in Como. The permanent exhibition is dedicated to the memory of Alessandro Volta and to the recognition of his scientific work.

Your guide will then take you to Via degli artigiani, a very important area in the historic center of Como, where over time the most important tradesmen of the trade have developed. Here you will find the shops of the ancient artisans, and you can admire their creations and do some shopping.
