Visit Lake Como: Como-Brunate funicolar
Hi everyone!!!
This very hot July doesn't stop me and here is a new post for Il Giardino di Lory's blog!
During your relaxing stay on Lake Como you cannot miss a trip to the city of Como, maybe using the boat to get there (here is the post where I give you useful instructions for the perfect boat trip).
To experience Como in an even more authentic way, I suggest you choose a day when the city market is held, so you can enjoy the stands and do some shopping. You can find the days and places of the markets on the Comune di Como website.
Como is waiting to be discovered: in addition to a nice tour of the old town centre, there are numerous interesting museums (the Museo della Seta, the Pinacoteca, the Museo Storico, the Museo Archeologico).
I love to visit the area of the Tempio Voltiano, enjoying the shade of its gardens and contemplating from the benches the slopes that envelop the city like a precious emerald velvet.
But one of the city's gems is undoubtedly the funicular railway that connects Como to Brunate.
Built in 1894 to reach the otherwise isolated village of Brunate, the funicular is still operational today. Its uniqueness, together with the fantastic panorama, have made it an important tourist attraction. Indeed, the view from Brunate is enchanting, stretching from the Western Alps and Monte Rosa to the Po Valley and Milan, earning it the nickname 'Balcony on the Alps'.
From June 10th to September 10th the service runs until midnight, so if you don't have a schedule to keep, why not surprise your sweetheart with a romantic sunset?
Let me know how it went!
