Experience the captivating lakes and villages straddling the Italian and Swiss borders on a thoughtfully paced full-day excursion from Como. The itinerary blends gentle travel with ample opportunities to admire waterfront villas, cultivated gardens and charming town centres that sit along the shorelines of Lake Como and beyond.
Your journey offers a relaxed crossing of the water to the elegant village often called the Pearl of Lake Como, where narrow lanes, colourful houses and lakeside promenades invite quiet exploration. Time here is unhurried, allowing you to wander, browse local boutiques or pause at a café for lunch while savouring views across the water.
The programme continues with a visit to the historic settlement of Cadenabbia, a place with royal associations and a tranquil atmosphere that rewards a short stroll. Later, a comfortable coach carries the group across the border to Lugano, a Swiss town whose tree-lined waterfront, piazzas and chocolate shops make for a delightful contrast to the Italian lakeside scene.
This day balances scenic travel, cultural notes and free time so you can set your own pace: enjoy photography, sample regional flavours, or simply relax and take in the lake panoramas that make this region so memorable.
