Cruising<\/h3>\n\n

Departure from Como, Bellagio and Varenna<\/p>\n\n

Favourite ❤️:<\/strong> Departing from the port of Como<\/strong>, we boarded a small boat<\/strong> (15 people maximum), where we enjoyed a lovely view of the city of Como from the water, then set off to discover the other jewels of the lake, including Villa Fontanelle<\/strong>, Villa Olmo<\/strong> and Villa d’Este in Cernobbio<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n

For 1h30 we sailed <\/strong>along the calm waters of the lake, surrounded by <\/strong> breathtaking scenery<\/strong>. We saw a condensed view of the lake and its main sights. <\/p>\n\n

Urban Emotions<\/a>, the company operating the cruise, has an excellent reputation. Our guide gave us many anecdotes about the places we visited, in several languages (including French).<\/p>\n\n

➡️ We advise you to book your tickets for a drink cruise on Lake Como online<\/a> in advance (approx. \u20ac50 per person), especially during the tourist season, as these excursions are very popular and the number of places is limited.<\/p>\n\n
