Milan, January 2026
Last time I visited the city center of Milan was in 2017 and since the weather forecast was favorable, I considered doing it again. But some members of the crew suggested going to Lake Como instead - something I have never done before. And so we caught the train to Como. From Saronno to Como (last station) it takes around 30/40 minutes.

Tempio Voltiano is a museum dedicated the inventor of the electric battery, Alessandro Volta. I didn't visit it, but I'm curious to do it on a next time here.

Lake Como
Our initial idea for this trip was to take a boat to the famous Bellagio, but tickets for the public boat were already sold out. So we chose Cernobbio instead.

Cernobbio
As soon as we arrived in Cernobbio, we had lunch at osteria Cantina Frasca, a lovely place where I had some very good gnocchi and an Aperol Spritz.
After that we visited the Giardino della Valle, a garden that was previously an illegal landfill.
Celtic spirals on the ground...
... and a nice representation of a snail.

Before going back to Como, some photos of Piazza Risorgimento where the ferry terminal is:

Seaplane tours also seem to be a thing in Lago di Como, since I saw many flying over the lake!
