Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

Really good historical centre for a small town making it more personable than other big cities. Old town areas.
Nice to see during the day and night, however night time does have better atmosphere with dining options and bars.
With Como being rather small if you are walking around you will definitely come across the historical centre.

Como's historic area is quite an easy walk with access to all areas not hard to negotiate. If depends on your state of mind and what you have available. You could spend 30 minutes and see some wonderful architecture or you could spend hours and have a nice meal, shopping and photo opportunities.

Plenty to see and do and lots of food and drink options. The small cobbled streets are lovely to wander through and there are many shops selling an array of items. Very pretty town located right on the Lake and it was lovely to sit with a drink and watch the world go by.

For city lovers, a stroll through the picturesque historical city center and perhaps a spot of shopping.
Como is a wonderful city with his lake and surrounded by Alpes

This is the beautiful city of Como, in Northern Italy, exactly in Lombardia. The lake is beautiful and the downtown is magic.

I spent a quick 4 day Long weekend in lake como whilst in between meetings in Milan. It lived up to the hype: stunning in every way, and the atmosphere is divine in the summer. Great al fresco dining, beautiful walks through the cobbles streets and tempting shops. Just relax and enjoy!

A perfect apartment close to duomo and the ferries. Quiet and spacious, spotlessly clean and well equipped. Fabriziio was very helpful and met us promptly. Highly recommended.

We meandered through downtown Como our last day in town and discovered many interesting sights. We were impressed with the Como Cathedral (Duomo), Piazza di San Fedele with it's many bars,restaurants and the Basilica di San Fedele, the walkway along the lake, and many other bars and cafes all over town.

Lake Como's city walk is peppered with grand buildings with splendid architectures and historic relevance.
Broletto, neoclassical-styled Centro Storico, Piazza Alessandro Volta, Basilica di San Fedele, Cathedral of Como with awesome sculptural reliefs, Basilica di Sant'Abbondio
are several landmarks and spots that should not be missed while exploring the streets and neighborhoods of Como.
