Boat Trip in Como

Sightseeing
Boat Trip in Como Sightseeing
About & History: Its origin goes back to the Ice Age. It has an inverted Y shape with the two branches that head south towards Lecco and south west towards Como. Thanks to a clement climate that favored the arboreal development, the Lake was inhabited since the proto-historic era. Then the Roman colonization took place, and it culminated with the establishment of Como as the area was especially important either for the defence of the lowland territories as well as a connection to the lands beyond the Alps. In the same period the reputation of the Lake began to spread, its shores and settlements began to rise. Among the early bards of the virtue of the Lake were the Latins, Cassiodoro, Pliny the Elder, Pliny the Younger (natives of Como) and Strabone. Later on in time were added these voices, that of Paolo Diacono, of Leonardo and Benedetto Giovio. The international acclaim of the Lake arrived in any event between the 18th and the 19th Centuries, with first the triumph of the "villa civilization", and then with the development of the tourist élite. Lake Como as a result became the obligatory stop for travellers and writers visiting Italy: those who wrote about it among the others Bourget, De Musset, Longfellow, Stendhal and Flaubert. The most well-known passage are the celebrated opening lines to the "Promessi Sposi" "The Betrothed": That branch of lake of Como that turns at midday…", with which Manzoni immortalized the Lecchese versant.

How to Reach: Lake Como may be reached from the highway which connects Milan to Como (A8 and A9) and at Canton Ticino, or trough the state highway 342 which originates in Varese and the 369 which leads from Como to Lecco. By train you arrive via Milano with Trenitalia or LeNord. While from the north, passing Gottardo, you will find trains coming from Central Europe. Menaggio, located on the shore, is connected to Lugano from the State highway 340. Colico, at the northerly tip of Lake, is connected to Switzerland by road or railway along two roadways: Chiavenna and Spluga Pass on one side, and Majola Pass on the other. While through Sondrio and Tirano, you reach Alto Adige as well as Grigioni. Lecco is connected to Milan and Bergamo both by road and railway; and a highway offers a rapid connection to Colico and the northern tip of the Lake.
