One fine Tuesday we rode the train north to visit the picturesque town of Como near the Swiss border. Only 30 minutes from Milan, the town sits at the southern end of the identically named lake.

We wandered the pretty streets and rode both the municipal boat lines and the hillside funicular to visit areas just outside the city limits. During our full day in town we saw firsthand why Como is so popular to both visit and live.
