Lake Como works best with children from a holiday home: their own rooms, a kitchen and days out that are never far away. From Como and Cernobbio you reach ferries, the funicular and lakeside parks without long drives.
What kids enjoy
- The Brunate funicular: a few steep minutes up, with a view over the lake at the top; walk on to the Faro Voltiano lighthouse.
- A ferry ride: from Como to Cernobbio or further up the lake.
- Lakeside parks: the gardens of Villa Olmo and the flat, buggy-friendly lakefront.
On a rainy day
- The Tempio Voltiano, a lakeside museum about Alessandro Volta, inventor of the battery.
- The Silk Museum (Museo della Seta) in Como.
- Como cathedral and the arcades of the old town.
Check museum opening hours before you go.
