Como Hotels

Como, a city in Lombardy, Italy, has become a hugely popular tourist destination due to its proximity to both Lake Como and the Alps. Indeed, the city has always been busy, largely because of its use as a point to cross between Central Europe and the Mediterranean. Opting for cheap holidays in Como will get you access to some great art, beautiful churches and gardens and interesting museums and theatres. Cheap hotels in Como are also widely available if you're on a budget.

Choosing a Como Hotel

When choosing a hotel Como has plenty of options for travellers of all ages, tastes and budgets. The most important thing to remember is that it is considerably more rural in the north of the city compared with the south. Therefore, Como hotels in the southern part are extremely busy during the summer months whilst the northern part remains fairly quiet and relaxed. The majority of the cheap hotels in Como can be found in the centre. Although this area is relatively compact and can be covered easily on foot you may want to take advantage of some Como car hire to enjoy the surrounding places such as Milan and Brianza which has numerous beautiful lakes as well as 16th, 17th and 18th century villas.

When to Visit Como

For the majority of tourists, Como remains a warm weather destination. In the summer months the lake is full of sunbathers who enjoy their long evenings in one of the many open air bars that dot the town. Nonetheless, the summer can be fairly hot and humid and you may prefer to go either in the spring or autumn when the climate is more pleasantly temperate.
