Como, the administrative capital of its namesake province in Lombardy, Italy, is a destination steeped in history and surrounded by enchanting natural beauty. A beacon of scenic aesthetics, thanks to its proximity to the Lake Como and the Alps, the city brims with stunning works of art, serene gardens, immersive museums, and impressive palaces. The ancient Duomo, the Basilica of Sant'Abbondio, scenic Villa Olmo, and the Tempio Voltiano promise to leave you enthralled with their charm.

The illustrious city has gifted the world with eminent historians like Pliny the Elder and Pliny the Younger, poet Caecilius, scientist Alessandro Volta, and Cosima Liszt, the celebrated wife of Richard Wagner. Julius Caesar repositioned the town centre of Como, an area inhabited since at least the Iron Age by the Celtic tribe known as the Orobii. The city's humid subtropical climate is another part of its charm, characterised by frosts in winter and hot, humid summers.

The economy transformed from silk manufacturing to more contemporary sectors of employment, notably tourism. Journeying through Como is a seamless process with options ranging from regional rail, bus services, and boat trips on Lake Como. Educational institutions and sports associations, notably the University of Insubria, the Conservatory of music "Giuseppe Verdi," and teams ASDG Comense 1872 and Calcio Como, reinforce the city's cultural tapestry.

When to visit Como

Deciding when to embrace the charisma of Como?

Spring undoubtedly presents an enchanting spectacle with warmer temperatures (April-June), blooming wildflowers, creating an inviting atmosphere for families. However, light jackets might be necessary during April and May due to occasional showers. Winter (November - February) creates breath-taking snow-clad landscapes, though some hospitality venues close during this period.

Come May through to June, the weather is at perfection with stunning views and attractions wide open - an ideal time for visitors. Similarly, September to October promises mild temperatures, vibrant nature, relaxed atmosphere, and a dip in prices. Regardless of the season, Como's charm persists, bewitching its visitors and leaving them with unforgettable memoirs.
