Things to do in Bellagio after the ferry

Bellagio is the pearl of Lake Como, a village of stepped lanes and villa gardens on the promontory between the lake's two arms. Arriving by sea puts you in the middle of it: the stepped lanes, Villa Serbelloni park, the ferry to Varenna and Villa Melzi gardens are all reachable from Bellagio pier.

If you want the days in Bellagio organised - a driver, a boat trip, timed entry tickets - we do that too. Mention it on WhatsApp.

Best time to take the ferry from Como to Bellagio

For the ferry itself, late spring and early autumn bring calm seas, full timetables and reasonable fares; July and August are the busiest and the most expensive, and the windiest weeks can cancel the fast boats. Winter schedules are thinner on many crossings, so we verify before you plan.

How much does the ferry from Como to Bellagio cost?

Ferry prices from Como to Bellagio move with the season and the vessel: the same crossing can cost a fraction on the conventional ferry in April of what the high-speed boat costs on an August weekend. Rather than quote a figure that will be wrong next week, we look up the fare for the day you want to sail and send it by WhatsApp before you decide.

The figure we send is the total: passengers, seats or cabin and port fees. If a slower sailing an hour later is cheaper, we say so; on this route the conventional ferry is often the best value for a family.

Timetable and season of the Como to Bellagio ferry

Sailing times on the Como to Bellagio route depend on the ferry company and the month - as a rule hourly; fast boats and slow steamers. Morning departures are generally the calmest and the most reliable; the last sailing of the day is the one to avoid if you have an onward connection. We choose the sailing to fit your plan and tell you the check-in time at Como pier (Piazza Cavour).

Departure: Como pier (Piazza Cavour)

Your crossing starts at Como pier (Piazza Cavour). Large ports have several gates and the boarding gate is announced on the boards and on the ticket; we send the gate and the check-in time with your confirmation. From Malpensa there are trains via Saronno and coaches to Como, about ١ hour ١٥ minutes with a change; Linate and Bergamo need more changes, and the towns north of Como are reached by ferry or a slow lake bus, so a private car is simplest, particularly with luggage or a villa stay.

• Cafés, kiosks and waiting halls at Como pier (Piazza Cavour); some fast boats board only minutes before sailing
• Haqqi Tours arranges a private transfer from your hotel in Como to the port on request
• Just ask which gate or terminal your sailing uses - big ports have several
• Foot passengers: at the port 45-60 minutes before departure

Arrival: Bellagio pier

You step off at Bellagio pier. Taxis and buses meet the boats. If you would rather not think about it, we book a driver to meet the ferry and take you to the door of your hotel.

Many travellers continue from Bellagio to another island or city. We provide those tickets too, so one WhatsApp conversation covers the whole itinerary.

On board the Como to Bellagio ferry: seats, cabins and luggage

• Children's fares by age; infants typically free
• Pets accepted on many ships in carriers or kennels - let us know if one is travelling
