Cernobbio is the first village on the west shore of Lake Como, about 5 km from Como town: a lakeside square, the ferry pier, Villa Erba and Villa d’Este. It is the right base if you travel by car and want a quieter lake with Como close by.
- The lakefront walk and Piazza Risorgimento on the water.
- Villa Erba, the event and fair venue; Villa d’Este, a luxury hotel whose grounds are generally for guests.
- The Via dei Monti Lariani, the high trail that starts in Cernobbio.
- The ferry towards Como or up the lake.
Ferries run less often in winter; check Navigazione Laghi before you go.
