Lake Como is well connected by all means, car, train and plane.
By car: Motorway A8 and A9 Milan – Como – Canton Ticino. Then the Regina State Road runs along the whole lake. Or from Varese through the state road 342 and 369 that from Como reaches Lecco.
To the north, the state road 340 connects Menaggio to Lugano, and Colico to Switzerland, via Chiavenna with the Maloja pass and via Sondrio with the Spluga pass, also for trains.
By Train: from Milan with Trenitalia or LeNord and from the Gottardo for trains coming from Central Europe.
