Your Transfer: What to Expect

Pickup: Your driver collects you from your hotel, apartment, or any address in Lugano at the time you specify. No need to drag luggage to a train station or navigate public transport.




The Route: This short cross-border transfer heads south from Lugano on the A2 motorway, passing through the southern tip of Ticino before crossing into Italy at Chiasso — one of Switzerland's busiest border crossings. From there, it's a brief drive along the western shore of the lake into Como city centre.

Duration & Traffic: Under normal conditions the drive takes approximately 25 min. Very short drive. The Chiasso border can queue during morning rush hours and Friday afternoons as cross-border workers commute. Outside these times, it's a quick transfer.

Como: What Awaits You

Como sits at the southern tip of Lake Como's western arm, a compact and elegant Italian city that serves as the gateway to one of the world's most celebrated lakes. The lakefront Piazza Cavour, the silk boutiques of the old town, and the Duomo — a masterful blend of Gothic and Renaissance — anchor the city centre. The Brunate funicular climbs to panoramic viewpoints over the entire lake. From Como, boat services fan out to Bellagio, Varenna, Tremezzo, and the other iconic lakeside villages. Como's silk heritage is centuries old, and the Museo della Seta (Silk Museum) tells the story of the industry that still operates here today.
