Planes

To travel to Lake Como, we suggest that you fly to Milan. Please be aware, that Milan has two airports - Milan Malpensa (MXP) and Milan Linate Airport (LIN). Milan Malpensa MXP is the suggested airport, as it is a 45-minute taxi ride (~50KM) to the town of Lake Como. Suggested routes flying from the West Coast: Denver to Newark to Milan Malpensa (MXP) Suggested routes flying from the East Coast: As few stops as possible to Milan Malpensa (MXP) Geographically, the closest airport to the lake is actually Lugano Airport (LUG) in Switzerland. This airport is only 33km from the lake’s borders. With public transport or a shuttle service, you can easily cross the border to Italy from Lugano. It will take about an hour to reach the city of Como on the lake of the same name.

You can take a taxi from the airport, or often hotels will have their own cars you can arrange ahead of time to pick you up from the airport.

Rental Car

Automobiles

Roads are very small and narrow around certain parts of the Lake. If you are planning to explore different areas of the lake and are comfortable driving under these conditions, a car may be recommended. Please bear the narrow roads in mind when selecting your car. If you plan to stay near the wedding venue sites and a taxi will suffice for the length of your trip. We did this during our four-day visit in April and had no issues! There are plenty of taxis around the lake. Each hotel will likely have a car that you can use throughout your stay or pick you up from the airport. The hotel's private cars are usually more costly than taxis, but it is worth the inquiry!
