Como is a small town in the north of Lombardy, it is located on the homonymous lake hidden in the mountains of the Alps and is a very fascinating city. If you arrive in Como by car, you can park in one of the garages in the center, and explore the historic part on foot, because it is a pedestrian zone.
The old town is not too big, but there are many monuments. The main attraction is of course the
Cathedral. According to legend, inside the cathedral is depicted a hen, hidden in any form. As a fresco, statue or low relief, you don't know where, but if you find it, you'll be lucky for life.
Every time I go there, I hope to find her but unfortunately I haven't succeeded yet! Try it, maybe you'll be more fortunate! Don't forget: you'll be lucky all your life!
After visiting the historic center, where the old walls are also located, you can go to the promenade along the port. You will find the park, where the
Volta Temple stands, a museum dedicated to Alessandro Volta, the famous physicist of Comasca origin.
The lake port moors boats that give tourists the opportunity to reach the other characteristic cities of Lario. For those who don't feel like spending too much time on the boat, they can always go for a pedal boat ride.
Currently, part of the lakeside dock is being rebuilt, as floods occur when the glaciers melt in spring.
