About this activity
Join us on a delightful two-hour walking tour through the charming streets of Como, a jewel nestled between the foothills of the Alps and the shimmering waters of Lake Como. This tour is perfect for first-time visitors or anyone looking to experience the highlights of this historic and picturesque Italian city. We'll begin our journey at the iconic Piazza Cavour, the bustling heart of the city that opens onto the lakefront, offering stunning views of the surrounding hills and waterfront promenade. From there, we’ll stroll through Como’s elegant historic center, where cobbled streets lead us past medieval towers, Renaissance palaces, and lively piazzas. As you walk, your expert local guide will share stories of Como’s rich past and point out hidden gems and curious details you might otherwise miss.
What to expect
Piazza Cavour
Como, 22100, Italy
In the nineteenth century, the square dedicated to Camillo Benso Count of Cavour did not exist, in its place, there was a harbor now buried. At first, the square was characterized by boutiques and arcades, the buildings we can see today were built over the years. In a very short time, Piazza Cavour became a veritable "city lounge". At the end of 1800, in the center of the square a fountain was built and later it was installed in the Bronx Park in New York. At the beginning of the 20th century, three flowerbeds (still present) were placed on the sides of the square. Tramline tracks were built and later on replaced by a road. Around the 1950s it was used as a car park. At the end of the nineties, ten jets of water installed inside the northern flowerbed constituted the last architectural contribution to the place. The square is liable to flood because of its construction on the lake.
Teatro Sociale
Via Vincenzo Bellini 3, Como, 22100, Italy
Teatro Sociale, theatre in Como, designed by architect Giuseppe Cusi, was built in 1811 using the existing structure of an ancient castle (we can see the original walls even today).
