Transfer from Milan to Lake Como

Distance between Milan and Lake Como, travel time and tips for your trip

Lake Como is one of the most iconic destinations in northern Italy, nestled at the foot of the Alps and known for its charming towns like Bellagio, Varenna, and Menaggio. From Milan, the distance varies between 50 and 70 km depending on your destination on the lake, with an approximate travel time of 45 minutes to 1 hour and 15 minutes. Milan's airports are also very close: Malpensa is about 50 km away, Linate just over 50 km, and Bergamo Orio al Serio about 60 km, making the route perfect for both leisure travelers and those arriving by air.

How long does it take to get from Milan to Lake Como?

The usual journey from Milan city center to the main towns around the lake takes around 45–60 minutes. During peak season, it may take slightly longer, especially on roads near Bellagio or Lecco, but as this is a private transfer, your driver will always adapt the route to current traffic conditions.

Is it advisable to book the transfer in advance?

Yes. Although we work with a large fleet available in the Milan area, booking in advance guarantees the best prices, avoids unnecessary waiting, and ensures availability even on long weekends, holidays, or during the summer months when Lake Como is usually very busy.

What happens if my flight is late?

You don't have to worry about a thing. We track all flights in real time and automatically adjust your pickup time at no extra cost. Plus, our service includes free waiting time at the airport so you can collect your luggage and go through security with peace of mind.

Does the service include tolls, luggage, or child seats?

Yes, our private transfers include tolls, standard luggage, and, if you're traveling with children, child seats at no extra cost. Just let us know during booking so your assigned vehicle arrives fully prepared.

Is it possible to make intermediate stops during the journey?

Of course. You can request short stops, whether to enjoy a viewpoint overlooking the lake, pick up another passenger, or stop at a specific tourist attraction. Just let us know during the booking process.
