Question

Where should I stay in Lake Como?

Answer

We recommend staying in Varenna, a charming lakeside town near our venue. We’ll be providing transportation to all wedding events from this location. If you choose to stay elsewhere, please note that you'll be responsible for your own transportation. For hotel recommendations and booking tips, check out our Travel & Accommodations page. We suggest booking early—June is a popular time to visit Lake Como!

Question

What's the closest airport to Lake Como?

Answer

The most convenient airports are Milan Malpensa (MXP) - about 1.5 hours drive, Milan Linate (LIN) - about 1 hour drive, or Bergamo (BGY) - about 1 hour drive. We strongly suggest booking flights early as summer travel to Italy fills up quickly. Car rental, private transfers, and train connections are all available from these airports.

Question

What will the weather be like?

Answer

Late June in Lake Como is typically warm and sunny, with temperatures ranging from the mid-70s to mid-80s. Evenings by the water can be slightly cooler, so we recommend bringing a light layer.

Question

Italy uses the Euro (€). Credit cards are widely accepted, but we recommend carrying some cash for smaller shops, taxis, or cafes.

Question
