Como - VERY quick visit (early Oct)

Hi All,

Know it is a shame to be in a hurry, but we have four nights between drop off in Regensburg after a cruise from Budapest, and meeting friends in Salon de Provence.

Our plan is to train from Regensburg to Como (full day), spend two nights then train to Nice (full day), spend two night, then rent car to get to Salon de Provence. A bit harried, but figured we could at least get a feel for Como (and lake), and Nice.

Given our short two night stay and need to be near the stazione ferroviaria in Como - it seemed too difficult to strike out farther afield than Como ... do you agree?

Recommendations for specific places to stay in Como walking distance to the train station? There are a lot, but most of the lakeside places are super expensive.

Planned on doing a lake tour on our day there - any specifics on which one? Ideally, would be larger boat with a place to hide if it rains - and that would drop us off at a couple of other towns for lunch and tours?

Specific restaurants you liked in Como?

Thoughts?

Thanks!!

We stayed at the Hotel Roma a 5 minute walk from the train station and has a great restaurant. There are numerous ferries that can take you to other lakeside towns and Bellagio is certainly worth a visit for lunch/dinner. Grab Rick's Italy book for more recommendations.

dartmouthgirl,

Thanks ... that one is a bit far from the lake ... I think we'll try more towards the lake from the train station.
