Transfer and Taxi in Como

---

   A city, a province and a lake! All of this is Como! In the northern part of Lombardy, in the province of Como, on the shores of the lake of the same name, lies the charming city of Como. Here, close to the Swiss border, natural beauty and the splendour of ancient architecture are closely intertwined with modern life. These places have been celebrated by poets and writers many times over. Alessandro Volta, one of the first to "tame" electricity, also spent his whole life here.

How do you get to Como, what is the city famous for, can you book a taxi transfer to Como, and what is the best way to do it? Read on to find out. 

Sights of Como 

   Since 196 BC (the date of the first settlement on the site of the modern city), Como has accumulated a great deal worth seeing. 

Perhaps the most majestic of all is the city's cathedral (Duomo di Como), which took almost 400 years to build. 

The Basilica of San Fedele. If you visit on a Saturday, you can browse or buy interesting handmade items, including antiques, in the square in front of the basilica. 

Villa Olmo. Besides being one of Como's greatest attractions in its own right, the villa often hosts various art exhibitions. 

Along with its numerous architectural landmarks, sculptures and stunning nature, Como is famous for silk production, with more than 800 companies involved in the industry. 

How to Get to Como 

You can get to Como from the airport by train or by car. The train journey from Milan takes about an hour. Some people prefer to rent a car, but for that you need to study the car rental rules in Italy carefully and try to take all the nuances into account. 

There are also buses, but their timetable changes with the season, so it is safer to check it just before you arrive. 

Taxi and Transfer in Como 

Travelling from the airport to Como on your own can bring certain difficulties. Not knowing Italian, the local customs and the routes can lead to stress and spoil the start of your holiday. It is much more convenient to book a car. Taxi or transfer? Not everyone sees the difference, but there definitely is one. 

When you choose a transfer to Como, you get a new car that matches your request. With a taxi, on the other hand, the car that turns up could be in absolutely any condition. 

Your transfer driver will meet you with a sign and help you carry and load your luggage. A taxi, by contrast, you will have to find at the rank yourself. 

With a fixed transfer price  you don't have to worry about it suddenly going up. In a taxi, the fare may change during the journey depending on traffic or detours. 

You can book a transfer or an English-speaking taxi in Como in advance, and the driver will be waiting for you on arrival. At weekends there may simply not be a taxi available for you. 

The English-speaking managers and drivers of Taxi Transfer Service will understand you and answer any questions you may have. Local taxi drivers often don't even speak English.

A transfer with ttstaxi lets you use toll roads and limited traffic zones at no extra cost. In a taxi, you will pay for all of this on top of the fare.
