Bellagio and Lugano Day Trip
Description
Discover the beauty of both Italy and Switzerland in a single day with this incredible excursion to Bellagio and Lugano. Begin your adventure in the heart of the Alps and enjoy a scenic boat ride on Lake Como.
Tour Overview
We will convene at Piazza Cavour 1, located in the center of Como, at the designated meeting time. Here, we will board a boat to embark on our cruise across Lake Como, making our way towards the quaint village of Bellagio.
Upon reaching Bellagio, you will have two hours of leisure time to discover this picturesque gem. With its charming, steep streets, Bellagio beckons you to wander and capture memorable photos at every corner.
After your exploration, we will resume our boat journey across Lake Como, heading towards the town of Cadenabbia. This area has been a favored summer retreat for historical figures such as Queen Victoria I of England and Russian Tsar Nicholas II.
Following our time in Cadenabbia, we will board a bus to cross into Switzerland, where you will have around an hour of free time in the lakeside city of Lugano. Here, you can indulge in Swiss chocolate, stroll along the picturesque lakefront, or visit one of the local churches. We recommend exploring Ciani Park or the Church of Santa Maria degli Angioli, renowned for its breathtaking frescoes.
To conclude the day, we will return to the bus and head back to our original meeting point in Como, wrapping up this enriching 8-hour excursion.
