Funicular Railway Lake Como

Since 1894 this old-school two-car railway has been operating the 10-minute journey between the city of Como and the village of Brunate, carrying passengers along a scenic stretch of Italian countryside. Once an old-school steam engine, today the popular attraction runs with an electric motor and travels through a lengthy tunnel before emerging upon epic views of breathtaking Lake Cuomo, panoramic landscapes and iconic Milano landmarks like the Villa D’Este grand hotel and the Duomo and Como Football stadium, too.

Practical Info

The Funicular Railway entrance is located at Piazza Alcide de Gasperi, about a five-minute walk from Como Bus Station on Via Torno. Funicular closes at midnight during the summer months.
