Lake Como is a safe place to visit, with very little violent crime. As always in tourist hotspots, keep an eye out for pickpockets. For up-to-date travel advice for Sicily, check the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office.
No, travellers with a full British passport do not need a visa to go to Lake Como.
If you’re planning a summertime beach holiday, you’ll want to stay six or seven nights to give you the time to relax as well as explore other towns. But for a city break to Como with perhaps a day trip, then three nights should be sufficient.
If you’re visiting churches, it’s courteous to keep your shoulders and knees covered, and to remove your hat indoors. Beachwear should be worn only at the beach or at lidos, so cover up when you’re out and about.
Lake Como is served well by public transport. Ferries and hydrofoils cross at various points along the lake all year round, and trains and buses connect most of the lakeside towns. There are also trains and buses connecting the lakeside towns with Milan and Bergamo.
