3 things to see
Como sits at the southern tip of its famous lake, with a free waterfront promenade, a funicular to Brunate for panoramic views, and affordable gelato by the water. The lakeside walk and the cathedral square cost nothing, and you can feel the lake without paying resort prices. Cheap regional trains run from Milan in under an hour, making Como an easy budget day trip, and nearby Lugano is a short hop across the Swiss border.
