There’s no better way to fully appreciate the beauty of Lake Como, admire its shores and enjoy the surrounding scenery than by boarding a boat. Whether it’s a traditional boat, a ferry or a modern catamaran, a boat trip offers a unique perspective on the lush natural landscape and picturesque villages that characterise Lake Como. This kind of experience not only allows you to travel in comfort, but also to discover the historic villas and botanical gardens that adorn the shores, making every exploration a romantic and evocative experience for every traveller.

The convenience of the public ferry service

Anyone wishing to explore the lake in depth can rely on the public ferry service that runs regularly between Lecco and Bellagio. During the journey, the ferry makes strategic stops at various charming towns along the eastern shore, including Valmadrera, Abbadia Lariana, Mandello del Lario, Onno, Vassena, Limonta and Lierna. Once in Bellagio, one of Lake Como’s most famous towns, passengers can take advantage of other routes to travel easily to every corner of Lake Como, discovering the hidden treasures along the entire lake.
