Tour of Como + Tourist Boat
Tour of Como + Tourist Boat
At the time of your choice, we'll meet at Piazza Cavour to start this guided tour of Como. Are you ready to learn about this city's history and main monuments?
First, we'll talk about the ancient medieval port of Como and explain why it was buried in the second half of the 19th century. Afterwards, we'll start walking through the historic center, seeing emblematic monuments such as the Teatro Sociale, built in 1811, and the Cathedral.
We'll enter the Cathedral of Como and find out who were the Comacini masters and what role they played in the art of the Lombardy region. We'll also tell you many interesting facts about this religious building, a symbol of Como. Did you know that it took almost 400 years to build?
Next, we'll admire the exterior of the church of San Fedele, whose origins date back to 1120. Nearby we'll see what is left of the medieval city walls and spot the sculpture of Alessandro Volta, one of Italy's most famous chemists and physicists.
After an hour and a half of sightseeing, we'll say goodbye near the starting point, admiring the sculpture of Daniel Libeskind that stands on the shores of Lake Como.
