Como Lake for Easter weekend - is a rental car worthwhile?
Hello, My SO and I will be staying in the Como Lake region for the Easter long weekend. We haven't decided on a particular location yet, but are tempted to rent a car so we can freely explore all the locations -- particularly because it appears at least some transport options aren't available over Easter.
I just want to make sure touring by car isn't a horrible idea, in that region and at that time. I know it will be busy, we just don't want to get stuck in hours-long traffic jams.
Thanks.

I'm not sure anyone can fully answer your question(s) until you tell us where you'll be staying and where you want to go. It would also be helpful to know where you're flying in and out for the weekend and exactly how many days you have.

We'll be staying in Menaggio from Fri Apr 3 to Mon Apr 6, after arriving in Como Friday by train in the early afternoon. We need to sort out travel to Menaggio -- hence my question about whether to go by rental car, or boat/public transport.
