Does any know the best way to get to Bellagio from either Milan or Como?

Como to Bellagio by SPT buses (nearly one per hour). website: www.sptcomo.it <BR>Como to downtown Milano by train. <BR>Malpensa airport to Como by SPT buses (connections to Bellagio, Menaggio and other lake towns)

"Best way" not being most efficient: take the ferry from Como to Bellagio. I am told that there is a "fast ferry," but we took what we renamed the Slow Boat To Bellagio, and it was supremely beautiful and one of my favorite memories of the trip.

Al, <BR> I assume you mean via public transportation, so my "best way" from Como to Bellagio would be by boat--fast or slow. (Bus only if too late at night or patchy schedule off season). <BR> <BR> My "best way" from Milan to Bellagio would be train to Varenna and the short ferry across to Bellagio. (This might also be the fastest way now that I think about it.)

I had not considered coco's alternative suggestions, but I like them.

The fast ferry between Como and Bellagio makes only three stops and takes 45 minutes. The slower one, I believe, takes about 2 hours. Either one is a beautiful ride. The land route is interesting, but the ride can be slow and/or harrowing along a narrow road!
