The easiest airport to fly into is Milan Linate Airport (LIN). MXP is also a great option, just a bit further to commute into the city.

To travel from Milan to Como by train, you have a few options:

Direct Trains: You can take a direct train from Milan's main train station, Milano Centrale, to Como's main station, Varenna-Eskimo-Perledo (via Trenord or ItaliaRail). These trains typically run frequently throughout the day and offer a relatively fast journey.

Regional Trains: Alternatively, you can take regional trains from Milan to Como. These trains may make more stops along the way, potentially taking a bit longer, but they can be a more economical option.

To find specific train schedules, ticket prices, and book your journey, you can use various online platforms such as Trenitalia or Omio. These websites allow you to search for trains based on your preferred departure time and provide you with all the necessary information for your trip. Additionally, you can purchase tickets either online or directly at the train station.

Short answer from our Italian wedding planner: no.

Securing a taxi in Bellagio, Como, can be difficult. The town's small size and restricted vehicle access in certain areas limit the number of taxis available and their ability to navigate efficiently. Bellagio's popularity as a tourist destination, particularly during the summer months, leads to increased demand for taxis, resulting in longer wait times.

Some taxis may require advance booking, adding to the difficulty of hailing one on the spot. Consequently, you should anticipate potential delays and plan transportation arrangements accordingly if you are hoping to travel around the neighboring areas (and not use the ferry system).

Yes. Taxis primarily prioritize airport transfers, and it's typically challenging to find one for travel between Bellagio and Limonta, for instance. Our wedding planner highly recommends pre-booking as they may all be occupied last-minute.

Our wedding planner suggested reaching out to Max - tell him Jay Damario recommended you). You can whatsapp him 0039 3516497759. He has vans from 6-9 passengers.

It depends on your travel preferences and itinerary. A car will offer flexibility and convenience for exploring nearby areas at your own pace, but it may not be necessary within Bellagio itself due to its compact size and pedestrian-friendly layout. Additionally, parking can be limited and expensive in Bellagio, especially during peak tourist seasons.

If you plan to primarily stay within Bellagio and explore the surrounding towns via ferry or public transportation, renting a car may not be essential. However, if you intend to venture further into the Lake Como region and visit more remote areas, a car rental could be beneficial.

There's a daytime boat service between Limonta and Bellagio until approximately 8 pm, with tickets purchasable in Bellagio or aboard the boat.
