Information For Arriving At Your Tour Departure Point
Our tour begins at the lakeside Hotel Royal Victoria in Varenna, a charming fishing village on the shores of Lake Como. Varenna is one hour by train from the Milan central station. You should take the trains which depart for Sondrio or Tirano. All trains to these destinations stop in Varenna and they depart about every two hours throughout the day. If you call the hotel in advance or even when you arrive, they will arrange to have you picked up for the brief journey to the hotel.
Official check-in time at the hotel is 2:00 PM, though our rooms are usually available earlier. Varenna is small and easy to explore on foot. You may also wish to visit the gardens of the Villa Cipresi or the Villa Monestero which are just footsteps from our hotel. At 6:30 PM, our group will meet for a welcome refreshment on the terrace outside overlooking the lake. Here you will meet your fellow travelers and hear more about your trip.
Important Note: If you are arriving at Malpensa Airport in Milan and wish to transfer to Milan’s central railway station, you have three options. One: Taxi (cost approx: $120). Two: Buses leave every half hour to Milan Central station (cost approx: $15 per person). Three: Train service from the airport to Milan North station (cost approx: $8 per person). This train does not stop at Milan Central station where all trains to other cities depart from. You must switch to a subway for three stops to make the connection to Milan Central.
If you have any further questions concerning your trip, please do not hesitate to call.
