We are leaving late from the Milan central train station to Varenna on 25 Aug and wondered what is the latest ferry from Varenna to Bellagio. We hope to make the 8:20pm train but worse case scenario would be the 9:20 which would get us to Varenna about 10:30 on a Friday night. What are our options?
The car ferry runs later than the passenger ferry (and you can ride the car ferry as a walk-on passenger). It will take you around ten minutes to walk to the dock from the train station with your luggage, and the last car ferry for Bellagio leaves Varenna at 23:05 on weekdays. As long as the train is reasonably on time, you should be fine.
Here's a link to the car ferry timetable: http://www.navigazionelaghi.it/c_download/NLC_TRAGHETTO%20E2017.pdf
Thank you! Your information and the link are exactly what we needed for our travel plans.
In the worst scenario, there are also taxi boats. Not as cheap, but an option nevertheless.
I appreciate the options. Thank you.
