A visit to Como is like looking through a manual on the history of architecture. Its ancient walls, the Duomo with its rich Gothic-Renaissance façade, the Broletto, the Castel Baradello, the Romanesque basilicas of Sant'Abbondio and S. Fedele, the myriad of monuments created by the Comacini Masters, and the modern architectural lines, all represent foundations of the urban and tourist fabric, interwoven with unforgettable splendor.

The old town is characterized by narrow cobbled lanes, stone arches, and traditional houses, while the waterfront is lined with cafés, tavernas, and small boats.
