Every morning at Lake Como has its own magic. The soft light reflects on the water, the mountains stand still in the distance, and the lake whispers stories of villas, gardens, and timeless charm.
If you're staying at Residence Celeste in Mezzegra, you're just a 10-minute walk from one of the most unforgettable experiences in the area: a boat tour on Lake Como.
🌿 A Short Walk Along the Greenway to the Pier
Just leave your apartment, take a deep breath, and follow the scenic Greenway del Lago, a lakeside path that winds through ancient villages and olive trees. After a 10-minute stroll, you'll arrive at the nearby ferry dock where your Lake Como adventure begins.
This unique location makes Residence Celeste the perfect base for exploring Lake Como by boat.
⛴️ Explore Lake Como by Ferry, Fast Boat or Historic Steamboat
From the pier, you can choose from several types of boats:
The hydrofoil (aliscafo) is the fastest way to travel Lake Como, ideal for quickly reaching Bellagio, Varenna, or Como.
Traditional slow ferries offer a more relaxed cruise, perfect for enjoying the views.
For a truly unique experience, why not board a historic Lake Como steamboat like the legendary "Milano" or the elegant "Concordia"?
These steamboats, with their vintage charm and rhythmic chug, feel like stepping back into the Belle Époque. Cruising on one of these vessels is more than a boat ride—it’s a moving postcard.
🎟️ Lake Como Day Pass: Unlimited Ferry Travel for One Price
One of the best tips for visiting Lake Como by ferry is to get the “Lake Como Day Pass” (Libera Circolazione).
For just around €15, this all-day ticket allows unlimited travel between the most beautiful towns in the central lake area:
Bellagio
Varenna
Tremezzo
Menaggio
...and more!
You can hop on and off the boats as many times as you like, without worrying about multiple tickets or schedules. It's convenient, budget-friendly, and perfect for a full day of exploration.
