HOW MANY DAYS BEFORE THE WEDDING SHOULD WE ARRIVE?

We recommend arriving 1 - 2 days before the wedding to allow yourself enough time to account for airline mishaps, adjust to the time change, explore Milan if desired, and travel to Lake Como from the airport.

WHAT AIRPORT SHOULD WE FLY INTO?

Milan MXP is the closest airport to Lake Como

HOW DO WE GET TO LAKE COMO FROM THE AIRPORT?

To get from Milan airport (MXP) to Lake Como, you have a few options. The easiest and most convenient is to take a taxi or a private transfer. This will cost you around €100-150 and take about an hour, depending on traffic. This is ideal if you have large, checked bags. If you are confident in your ability to navigate public transportation, you can take the fastest route from Milan Malpensa Airport to Como Lago via the Malpensa Express which takes approx. 40min and costs €13. Milan-Malpensa Airport --> get off in Saronno (20 min wait) --> train from Milano Cadorna to Como Lago and catch a taxi to your hotel. Alternatively, you can rent a car at Milan airport and drive to Lake Como, which is about a 50-minute drive away. However, keep in mind that parking in Lake Como can be difficult, especially during the high season. Overall, taking a taxi or a private transfer is the most comfortable and hassle-free way to get to Lake Como from Milan Airport; however, we found the train to be just as easy and a fraction of the cost.

Malpensa Express

Malpensa Express is the fastest way to get to Como.


To reach Como from Milan-Malpensa Airport, take the Malpensa Express (departing from both terminals) to Milan and get off at Saronno (after about 20 minutes at Saronno train station), take the train from Milano Cadorna to Como Lago (40 minutes).


The price of the trip including both routes is €16 (€13 for Malpensa Express and €3 for the Saronno–Como route, operated by Trenord).

40 minute train direct to Lake Como (Como Lago)

Are there Ubers and Lyfts in Lake Como?

No. The only forms of transportation will be by boat, trains/buses, taxi, and car rental service. We will provide transportation to and from the welcome party and wedding.

Can we get an Airbnb?

Airbnbs are not recommended. If you don’t have a car, access to restaurants, public transportation and a boat dock - for pickup - are impossible. Remember, it is tough to get a taxi service in Lake Como so plan accordingly. We highly recommend going with one of the hotels listed below that are close to/in town.

Listed Below are Some Hotel Recommendations

There are many towns on Lake Como and with that comes many hotel options . For reference our wedding venue is in Laglio. We are providing transportation for everyone to - and - from the venue, but logistically we'll need people to stay in the same general area. Our goal is to arrange a boat to pick you all up.. beginning in Old Town and making various stops along the way (Cernobbio, Villa Flori, etc.) to Villa Regina Teodolinda. Personally, I would stay in Old Town for a few different reasons: 1. Cost 2. Accessibility (to boat docks and train station) 3. Architecture and history 4. Food 5. Shopping
