Como Travel Guide
Things to Do in Como, Italy: 24 Sights and Activities on One Map
These are the things to do in Como, Italy, all 24 of them numbered to one map: the walled town and its cathedral, the lakefront out to Villa Olmo, the hill of Brunate, the museums and the boats. Most of it is free or costs less than a lake cruise, and two museums and one villa are closed, which this page says plainly. For a single day, start with the eight-stop route on what to see in Como. For a guide or a boat, the tours are compared on Como tours. The rest of the city is on our Como guide.
Quick answer What to do in Como, what it costs, what is closed
The walled town, the lakefront and Brunate cover most of Como on foot, and the paid sights are cheap: the funicular to Brunate is $4.27 (€3.70) one way and the Silk Museum $11.54 (€10). The cathedral's ticketed visit is $6.92 (€6), and entry to pray is free. Two museums and the Villa Olmo building are closed, and the civic museums close on Mondays.
Key takeaways
- The cheapest high point in town is the Brunate funicular, 7 minutes up and running every day from 06:00 to midnight.
- For the lake itself, the small-group boat tour with prosecco is the most-booked hour on the water at $56.40, and the public boat to Cernobbio is $3.46 (€3).
- Three museums share one pass: the Como Art pass is $17.31 (€15) for the Pinacoteca, the Tempio Voltiano and the cathedral, see Como tickets.
- Short on time? Take the eight-stop route on what to see in Como.
The 24, Grouped by Area and Numbered to the Map
Every number on this list is the number of its pin on the map. Prices are the official adult fares the venues publish, converted to dollars at €1 = $1.1537, and tour prices are the platform's own. Times are our estimates for a visit, not official figures. Use the chips to sort by price or time and the district filter to keep to one part of town.
Inside the Walls

Como Cathedral
Cathedral from $6.92 (€6)1 hbook-ahead tier 1 of 3

Church Free20 min
A Romanesque basilica on its own small square in the Roman street grid, a few blocks south of the cathedral. It is a working parish church and entry is free.

The tall stone gate tower closes the southern side of the walled town, and stretches of the medieval wall run away from it. Standing under the arch shows how compact the old grid is.

-

-

Museum (closed)
The city's archaeological collection in Palazzo Giovio. Its exhibition halls are currently closed to the public for maintenance.

-
Faro Voltiano
Lighthouse
The Volta lighthouse stands above Brunate village, a monument to Alessandro Volta with views over the lake.

Plan Around the Monday Closures
Monday decides more Como days than the weather. The two civic museums and the Silk Museum all close, and the cathedral's ticketed visit works on a different rhythm from the museums.
Read this table before you fix which day of your stay goes to the museums. The hours come from the cathedral's visits page, the Comune di Como pages for the Tempio Voltiano and the Pinacoteca, the Museo della Seta and ATM for the funicular. Villa Olmo's park is listed because it is the free fallback on any day.
| Place | Monday | Tuesday | Wednesday to Sunday |
|---|---|---|---|
| Cathedral, ticketed visit | 10:30-17:30 | 10:30-17:30 | Weekdays 10:30-17:30, Saturday 10:45-16:30, Sunday suspended per the price sheet |
| Tempio Voltiano | Closed | 10:00-18:00 | 10:00-18:00 |
| Pinacoteca Civica | Closed | 10:00-18:00 | 10:00-18:00 |
| Silk Museum | Closed | 14:00-18:00 | 10:00-13:00 and 14:00-18:00 |

| Villa Olmo park | Open, free | Open, free | Open, free |
What Still Works on a Monday
A Monday in Como is a good day, it just belongs outdoors and at the cathedral. This is the order we would take it in.
- Morning at the cathedral, when the ticketed visit runs from 10:30 and the museums are dark anyway.
- The walled town on foot: the Broletto, San Fedele and Porta Torre cost nothing on any day.
- Lunch, then the funicular to Brunate, which runs every day of the year.
- The lakefront west to Villa Olmo park in the late afternoon, passing the closed Tempio Voltiano from outside.
- A public boat to Cernobbio at $3.46 (€3) one way, see the ferry page for the piers.
- The Comune lists two Mondays in 2026 when the civic museums open, 6 April and 31 August.

Free Things to Do in Como
Most of what makes Como worth a day costs nothing. These are the free things to do that we would not swap for a paid one.
The Cathedral Without a Ticket
Visitors without a ticket have their own route. Enter by the Porta delle Virtù, walk the right nave past the altar of Sant'Abbondio and the Raimondi altarpiece, pass under the organ pipes and leave along the left nave by the altars of the Deposition and Saint Joseph. You see the height of the nave and the side altars for free.
What the $6.92 (€6) ticket adds is the transept, the wooden choir, the sacristies and the upper walkways, and the cathedral tickets page sets out whether that is worth it for you.
The Lakefront to the Tempio Voltiano
From Piazza Cavour the promenade follows the water west through the public gardens to the Tempio Voltiano and the Monumento ai Caduti. It is flat, free and open at any hour, and the low evening sun on the water is the best light for it. The Comune puts the Tempio Voltiano 900 metres on foot from Como Lago station, so this walk fits between a train and a boat.
Villa Olmo Park
Keep going west and the lakefront ends at Villa Olmo, whose lawns run down to the lake. The villa is closed for restoration, but the park stays open and free, and it is the best green space on the city waterfront. The Lido di Villa Olmo sits beside it for a swim in summer.
The Walls and Porta Torre
The medieval walls still close the south side of the old town, and Porta Torre is the gate tower you walk under on the way in from the south. Inside, the streets keep the grid of the Roman town, which is why getting lost here takes effort. An hour of walking covers the whole walled rectangle, including Piazza Duomo and the Broletto.
San Fedele and Sant'Abbondio
Two Romanesque basilicas are free to enter. San Fedele stands on its own small square inside the walls and still feels local in the early evening. Sant'Abbondio, with its twin bell towers, is south of the walls in a quieter quarter that few day visitors reach.
Both are working churches, so visit outside Mass times.
Is a Como Museum Pass Worth It?
The Comune sells a Como Art pass that bundles the Pinacoteca Civica, the Tempio Voltiano and the cathedral's ticketed visit within 3 days. The single tickets and pass prices below are from the Comune's own ticket sheets, and the savings are our sums.
| Plan | Single tickets | Pass or family ticket | You save (our sum) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Two of the three, one adult | $13.84 (€12) | $11.54 (€10) | $2.31 (€2) |
| All three, one adult | $20.80 (€18) | $17.31 (€15) | $3.46 (€3) |
| A family, two adults and children | Adult $6.92 (€6) each plus $3.46 (€3) per child 6-18 | Como Family Pass $17.31 (€15) per venue, up to two adults with their children | Two adults and two children 6-18: $20.80 (€18) on singles against $17.31 (€15) per venue, our sum |
Our pick: buy the pass if you are doing all three on one trip, and do not bother for one. The Silk Museum is not part of it. The CoMmUnity card on the same sheet, 365 days at the four civic venues, is sold only to residents of Como and its province, so a visitor cannot buy it.
Every ticket in town is lined up on the Como tickets page.

Unusual Things to Do in Como
Five ideas for a second day, or for anyone who has seen the cathedral and wants the city behind the postcard.
Terragni's Rationalist Como
Como is where Italian rationalist architecture was built, and Giuseppe Terragni's Casa del Fascio is its landmark. Inside visits happen only on scheduled guided dates led by the architect Attilio Terragni, the architect's great-grandson, booked through Slow Lake Como at $17.31 (€15) for adults and $5.77 (€5) for children 6-14. You see the atrium, and you send your ID by email in advance.
On any other day, stand in the square behind the cathedral and look at the facade grid. Then walk to the lakefront for the Monumento ai Caduti, Terragni's second landmark here.
The Printing Rooms of the Silk Museum
The Museo della Seta is organised as a walk through the making of silk, from the rearing room and reeling to dyeing, printing, screen printing and finishing. An audioguide is available in three languages and small dogs are admitted. For anyone who has seen Como silk in shop windows, this is where the name comes from.
A Como 1907 Match at the Sinigaglia
Few top-flight grounds in Italy sit on a lakefront. Stadio Sinigaglia is next to the Tempio Voltiano, with an official capacity of 7,498. Single-match tickets for recent home games are sold on the club's own platform, tickets.comofootball.com, so buy them before you travel.
The steps are on Como 1907 tickets. The club publishes no general price list, each match goes on sale separately.
Inside the Monumento ai Caduti
Most visitors photograph the war memorial from the gardens. In summer and autumn you can go inside: the Comune opens it from 2 June to 4 November, Wednesday and Friday 10:00-13:00 and Saturday and Sunday 14:00-17:00. Entry is $6.92 (€6), or $17.31 (€15) on the Como Family Pass ticket for a family.
The Cheapest Boat on the Lake
The ordinary boat from Piazza Cavour to Cernobbio is band 1 on the Navigazione tariff, $3.46 (€3) one way. It is a short sail past the villas of the western shore, and the ride back gives you the city's lakefront from the water. The piers and tickets are explained on the Como ferry page.
What Goes Wrong on a Day in Como
Six things turn a Como day into a walk to a closed door. Each has a fix.
- Planning the museums for a Monday. The Tempio Voltiano, the Pinacoteca and the Silk Museum all close. Put the cathedral and the funicular on Monday instead.
- Arriving at the wrong station. Trains from Milano Cadorna end at Como Lago by the piers, trains from Milano Centrale at Como San Giovanni up the hill. See Milan to Como by train.
- Counting on a Sunday cathedral visit. The price sheet suspends Sunday tourist visits even though the visits page still lists Sunday times. Go Monday to Saturday.
- Heading for the Archaeological Museum or the Garibaldi Museum. Both have their halls closed for maintenance and no reopening date.
- Turning up at the Casa del Fascio. There are no walk-in visits, only booked guided dates with ID sent ahead.
- Expecting to tour Villa Olmo. The building is closed for restoration, only the park is open.

Things to Do in Como, Italy: Questions
What should you not miss among the things to do in Como, Italy?
The cathedral, the funicular to Brunate, the lakefront to the Tempio Voltiano and the walled town around Porta Torre. Those four take a day and cost $6.92 (€6) for the cathedral ticket plus $8.54 (€7.40) for the funicular return. The order to walk them in is on what to see in Como.
What can I do in Como without spending money?
The lakefront promenade, Villa Olmo park, the walls and Porta Torre, San Fedele, Sant'Abbondio and the cathedral's free side-nave route. The only thing that costs money on a classic first day is the funicular. If you want a guide for the free part, the guided city tour is the cheapest card at $43.56.
What can you do in Como on a Monday?
The cathedral's ticketed visit runs Monday 10:30-17:30, and the funicular runs from 06:00 to midnight every day. The Tempio Voltiano, the Pinacoteca and the Silk Museum are closed. Fill the afternoon with the funicular to Brunate and Villa Olmo park.
What is there to do in Como when it rains?
Go indoors in this order: the cathedral, the Silk Museum, the Pinacoteca and the Tempio Voltiano, all except the cathedral closed on Mondays. Three of those sit on the Como Art pass at $17.31 (€15). A small-group food tour or a pizza-making class also works well on a wet afternoon.
What suits a family day out in Como?
The funicular is the favourite: children up to 12 pay $2.88 (€2.50) one way and the ride takes 7 minutes. The Silk Museum charges under 18s $5.77 (€5), and the Tempio Voltiano charges ages 6-18 $3.46 (€3). Villa Olmo park is free and runs down to the water, and a self-drive boat needs no licence.
How many things to do in Como fit in one day?
About eight, if you walk. Our estimate is the walled town and the cathedral in the morning, the lakefront to the Tempio Voltiano after lunch and Brunate by funicular before sunset. The list with times for each stop is on what to see in Como, and the Como map shows the distances.
