Does anyone know what the cost is for the ferry beteen Varenna and Bellagio?

Julie

I cannot remember the specific price, but recall that it's a very short trip and very inexpensive. Like maybe a couple of bucks or even less.

Try Rick Steves' book

Not enough to even worry about or budget into a trip. If you can afford to get to Bellagio the ferry is peanuts.

Howard

In the fall of 2000, a round trip was around $9.

lina

Last fall I think it was L4500 each way.

Jean

It depends on whether you're taking a car onto the ferry or if you're a pedestrian passenger. If you're walking on, it's just a couple of dollars.

sam

With a car it's 9.1 Euro.

Duke

WOW! There goes Kirsten's boat ride!

Howard

To clear up any confusion, it's about $4.50 each way without a car, and $9 each way with a car.

The 4.40 price quoted is round-trip (5 euro) or you can get a one day cental lake pass for only 6.80 euro ( around $6.12US) that allows you to travel between Bellagio, Varenna, Menaggio, Tremezzo (sp?), Bellano (sp?) and one or two more towns. With the pass you can travel on the ferries, central lakes boats or the slow steamer that ttravels up & down the lake but not on the fast hyrdofoil. Between Bellagio and Varenna the slow setamer is just as fats as the others, it's only slow going down the lake because it makes so many stops.

Anyone know how often the ferry runs, or other modes of transportation around the lake?

Check out the official site for timetables and prices.<BR>http://www.navigazionelaghi.it/Home.html

The car ferry is around every hour. Add the central lakes boats and slow steamer schedule and you can usually cath a boat within 15-20 minutes from about 8:00am - 8:00 PM.

Thanks Alice, for the website. I can pretty much figure it out. If we want to take the train to Lugano, Switz. where do we need to take the ferry to, & which train station do we leave from?<BR>I know Varenna is the station to Milan, but I think not to Lugano. Thanks!

Alice Twain

Lugano is not on Lago di Como, it is on a different lake named Lago di Lugano (who would have guessed ;-P). You can reach Lugano by train from Trenitalia station in Milano, but you can't get there by boat.
