Lago di Como (Lake Como) Getting Around the Lake by BoatLago di Como (Lake Como) Getting Around the Lake by Boat
Lake Como has been a popular retreat for aristocrats and wealthy people since Roman times, and a very popular tourist attraction with many artistic and cultural gems. It has many villas and palaces such as Villa Olmo, Villa Serbelloni and Villa Carlotta. Many famous people have owned homes on the shores of Lake Como, including George Clooney, Madonna and Donatella Versace. Lake Como is served by a public transport system connecting the various villages on the lake. A motorized service began in 1826 when a steamship with sails, the Lario, was launched by the newly established Società privilegiata per l'impresa dei battelli a vapore nel Regno Lombardo Veneto. Since 1952 the fleet has been managed by a government organization named Gestione Commissariale Governativa and later Gestione Governativa Navigazione Laghi, which is also responsible for transport services on Lake Maggiore and Lake Garda. There exist three primary services: Motorship services along the western branch and north towards Colico and back to Como, with additional shuttles to the mid-lake area; Fast services that broadly follow the same route but with fewer stops; the service, which is more expensive, is operated by hydrofoils; Ferries able to carry passengers and cars across the popular tourist destinations Menaggio, Bellagio, Varenna and Cadenabbia.
