We recommend flying into Milan and arriving by at latest, Wednesday July 15, 2026, to give yourself time to settle in, adjust to the time change, and make your way to Lake Como before our Thursday evening festivities begin. Most flights from the U.S. are overnight, so plan to depart Tuesday evening. If you’d like extra time to explore and shake off jet lag, consider arriving on Tuesday and spending a night in Milan before heading to the lake.
