A small group day that pairs Lake Como with Lugano in Switzerland, with the Swiss train, the lake ferry, a boat cruise past the famous villas and the Lugano funicular all included. It involves stairs and cobbles, lunch is extra, and the group meets early at Milan Central station. 4.96 from 1,544 reviews at €139 per person.
Visit two countries and two lakes in one day — Lake Como and Lake Lugano — on a small-group tour from Milan, small enough to reach the places big tours can't, with every train, boat, and border crossing handled for you.
Skip the selfie crowds and the overrun hotspots. Instead, cruise past the lakeside villas of Gianni Versace, Ocean's Twelve, and John Legend's wedding, then slip into a quieter side of Como most travelers never see — the real village of Torno or Cernobbio, where life moves at its own pace and the tourist trail disappears behind you.
After lunch in Como, cross the border into Lugano, Switzerland — a second country, a second lake, all in an afternoon.
No driving, no planning, no chasing trains. Just one effortless day, two countries, two lakes — handled for you.
In summer, weather permitting, you can enjoy a swim in the crystal-clear alpine waters. The beach is small and rocky, and the lake becomes deep close to the shore. Don't forget to bring a towel.
