Food or drink
The visit of Como is a walking tour of about 2 hours that we can customize upon your desires. The Funicolar (tickets not inlcuded, 5.70€ return ticket) makes a 8 minutes ride to Brunate, which is 500 meters/1600 feet above: if you're scared of heights, you might not enjoy this part! There might be lines to get the Funicolar tickets and to board it: please let me know if you want me to buy the tickets in advance which would reduce the waiting.
This tour starting time is totally flexible and it can be done also in the afternoon!
