OMG on the trip rn, doint the exact same thing except also Venice, Cinque Terre and switzerland

[@martaber3260]

For 26euros You are able to see Como, Bellagio and Varenna? is that correct?

[@awaywithjudy]

Yep that's correct! It's a one day ferry pass that will allow you to take unlimited rides on & off :)

[@stephmar6693]

@@awaywithjudythank you so so much for sharing! My mother and I are finally traveling in November. She is 73 and has not vacationed in 15 years! We can’t wait to go!

[@Angela-it5xc]

This is amazing :* But Can you please elaborate more about the ferry ticket ? so you bought one main ticket from como and with same ticket you get back to verenna ? do they gave you a specific time to move around and go back at the same feery or you can manage based on the timetable with same ticket ?

[@awaywithjudy]

Thanks for watching Angela! Yep all you need is that one ticket bought from Como and where/how often you choose to get on & off is up to you ~ it’s super flexible and as long as you keep track of time using the ferry timetable, then you’ll be set! I chose to make Varenna as my last stop since there is a train station so I could just go back to Milan directly instead of taking another ferry ride back 😊

[@lifefunlove]

Hi! Love your video! This is exactly what we’re planning to do. May i know what ferry ticket company is this? Should i pre-purchase the tickets online?

[@awaywithjudy]

​@@lifefunlove ​ Thanks so much for watching! :) You can refer to this site for more info on the ferry tickets and timetables: www.navigazionelaghi.it/en/tickets-and-timetables-lake-como/ I personally purchased the tickets in person right as I arrived at the Como San Giovanni train station, but pre-purchasing never hurts! Have a great trip :)

[@lifefunlove]

@@awaywithjudy thanks so much!! One last question hope you can help me :) im checking the link you sent now. There are 2 options for the ferry. From como to varenna ticket, did you take the one with “traghetto” or not?

[@awaywithjudy]

@@lifefunlove No worries! I took the regular one without "traghetto" :)

[@IshikaPatel-ro2yo]

Hi, Thank you so much for the video, it was really helpful. I am travelling to Italy in a month with my family. Super excited. I had a few questions tho. 1. How often does the ferry go from Como San Giovanni to Bellagio? I checked the link for ferry tickets but they were sold out online and we’re a big group :( Are they usually able to accommodate everyone that comes and get the tickets in person? 2. Is the train station far from where you bought the ferry tickets? What was the place where you bought the ferry tickets? 3. On the official link, the ferry ride from san Giovanni to Bellagio seems to be 13mins. But some people say it’s 2 hours some say it’s 50 mins. I am a little confused on how long it takes to get to Bellagio?

[@awaywithjudy]

Thank you so much for watching! 1. From what I observed, it seemed like they were able to accommodate a lot of people when buying the ferry tickets in person, which was also what I did. But I would keep checking online just in case! 2. I'd say it was about a 10 minute walk from the train station to where we bought tickets and it's a straight shot to get there so it should be quite easy to find. 3. It took us from Como San Giovanni to Bellagio in about 2 hours on the ferry - they made a lot of stops in between in the smaller towns. But the ride is nice with beautiful views!

[@ckkombat27]

Hi! Loved the video! Around what time did you leave to lake como? And when was the last train back to Milan?

[@awaywithjudy]

Thank you so much for watching! I left Lake Como around 6pm :) You can check www.italiarail.com/ for the train schedule depending on which station you depart from back to Milan :)

[@bhargaviakunderu]

Hi.. very much informative video.. i just have one doubt. According to my understanding i can see in the video that for 25 euro we have 3 hours time limit. As you said it took around 2 hours to reach bellagio. So now you had only one hour left to explore ballagio and reach varenna .. how did you manage to cover ballagio in that one hour and reach varenna with in that time limit .. could please help with this Thank you

[@christiancastor4204]

Hi, did you buy your train ticket on the spot or you bought in advance? For the ferry ride, how long did you wait for your turn to hop on the ferry? Is it much better to book it ahead of time? How long did you tour around Bellagio and Varenna?

[@awaywithjudy]

Hi Christian - I bought my one day ticket (allows you to hop on and off the ferry for unlimited times) as I arrived Lake Como :) I'd say I probably waited for about 15 minutes to hop back on the ferry but I would also recommend you to look at the ferry schedule so you can plan around the times. I spent about a few hours each around Bellagio & Varenna (a bit longer in Bellagio).

[@khushbooshah8728]

Thankyou so much..This video is very helpful..! I had two questions 1. I am unable to book or see the ferry schedule if i chose Como to varenna !! How do i check the schedule or book? 2. You got down at bellagio and again hopped off to go to Varenna .. Which ticket did you purchase that helped you hop on and hop off? 2. Did you select round trip?

[@enzo7556]

Hello, I have the same question, did you found the answers ?

[@awaywithjudy]

@khushbooshah8728 @enzo7556 1.You can check out this link to see the ferry schedule & book your tickets :) 2. I purchased the one day pass for 25.80 euros which allowed me to have unlimited trips on & off different stops. 3. I purchased my ticket in person once I arrived at the Como San Giovanni (lake como) train station.

[@anasousa3672]

I have my train tickets on my mobile phone, should I print them to scan? Thanks, loved the video!

[@awaywithjudy]

I believe you need the physical ticket for the machine to scan!

[@BenPakpahan-h3f]

Hi, I’m wondering what is the name of the ferry station? Thanks for making this video!

[@awaywithjudy]

Thank you for watching! I arrived at the Como San Giovanni train station and as you walk further, you'll see where they sell the ferry tickets and you can hop on board right after :)

[@vickisworldtravel]

What a great vlog, so beautiful Italy x

[@awaywithjudy]

Thank you so much for watching Vicki! Yesss I can't wait to be back to Italy 🥰

[@AyhamD-no6wv]

Hi ! Thank for the nice video I have a question i hope you could answer me as soon as possible:) i liked the idea of getting back to milan from varenna. But did u book your ticket back from vernna or already in advance from milan. I hear often that there is no chane to book tickts when someone is there so better to book in milan in advance.

[@awaywithjudy]

So glad you enjoyed this video! I bought my train ticket from Varenna back to Milan on the spot as I wasn't sure what time exactly I was planning to leave :). But if you want to be sure, you can most definitely buy your ticket in advance just in case!

[@fjarenas8841]

What month did you go to Lake Como, looks like a crowded month... Will this route work too? Milan to Varenna then Como to Milan?

[@awaywithjudy]

I went to Lake Como in July so it was definitely peak season :) Yes you can go to Varenna first instead and buy your ferry ticket so you can go back to Como!

[@pioloanton]

Half of the video I watched her eating and yet she’s slim ✌🏼question, I’m planning to do the same, can I see both B and V and be back at Milan by 4-5 pm?

[@awaywithjudy]

Hahah walking a lot everywhere definitely helps! I'd say it's possible but you would have to leave Milan quite early and you wouldn't have too much time in B and V :)

[@pioloanton]

@ You actually responded. Thank you! Just joking about the eating all the time haha but yeah jokes are always half meant 😁

[@julieabas4728]

Thank you for this!! I’m stealing your itinerary!! Will be doing a solo trip in October!! How many hours total did you end up spending in comp from the time you got there??

[@awaywithjudy]

Thank you so much for watching - so glad it was helpful!! I'd say I ended up staying in Como (mainly Bellagio & Varenna) for about six hours total :)

[@mariarufino5888]

Thanks for sharing this video! Can you be so kind to break this itinerary down? Traveling alone in September and would love to do this day trip from Milan.

[@awaywithjudy]

Day trip from Milan is definitely worth it and doable! I took the train to Como San Giovanni from Milan and bought my ferry ticket there which allowed unlimited rides on & off all the stops in between. I only got off at Bellagio then Varenna since they were the most popular towns! And finally, I got my train ticket at the Varenna train station and rode it back to Milan. Let me know if you have any further questions :)

[@bandugom4999]

hello, that was a really nice and informative video, I have a question please I hope you reply :) me and my mom are going there in 2 weeks! what did you do in como (the city) when you arrived by the train from milan, did you just get on the ferry? if so i will not go to como san giovani and just head directly by train to varenna and go to bellagio by the ferry without visiting como (the city)... thank you your reply would be so appreciated

[@awaywithjudy]

Thank you for watching! Once I arrived at the Como San Giovanni station, I immediately hopped on the ferry to head towards Bellagio and Varenna :) hope you have an awesome trip!

[@kusumalistya]

Thank you so much for the video-super informative-love it! I'll be there next week and will stay for 2 days in Como. Could you explain a little about the ferry system? When you say "hop-on-hop-off," do they give you a certain amount of time to explore each town it docks at, or do you have to take another ferry? Does the 25 EUR ticket cover these changes? Sorry for all the questions, and many thanks again :)

[@awaywithjudy]

Thank you so much for watching! Yes the 25euro ticket covers all the stops and gives you unlimited access to all the ferry rides. When you get off the ferry to a particular stop, you can spend however much time you'd like and get on the next ferry on the schedule. Hope this helps and have a great trip! :)

[@pagenpwoblem]

Nice! My mom is in Italy now and I'm planning on going next year :). I was born in Bologna. Did you travel around that area as well?

[@awaywithjudy]

I didn't get a chance to check out Bologna, but would love to in the future! I hope you have an amazing time in Lake Como! ☺️

[@ankitaaishwarya8174]

"Hi... Your video is very nice. Just a quick question: Is the train station far from the ferry ticket area? I'll be traveling with an infant." Thank you

[@awaywithjudy]

Thank you for watching! I'd say it was around a 10 minute walk from the train station to the ferry ticket area - hope this helps :)

[@honored_one3]

is it worth staying for a couple of days only in Como or isn't much to do/ see there?

[@awaywithjudy]

I personally only stayed there for one full day and felt that I saw everything I wanted to see :) I'd say the food overall is not as good as Milan or the other bigger cities of Italy ~~ but if you wanted to rent a private boat tour around Lake Como and have more of a romantic getaway, a couple of days might be worth it!

[@ellenwijoyo3090]

did u buy the ticket to como in advance or buy on the spot?

[@LoanPhan-t4f]

Hi Do we need to book the ferry in advance or tickets available on arrival?

[@awaywithjudy]

You can purchase the tickets when you arrive at Lake Como - that's what I did :)
