FOLLOW YOUR OWN FOUR-DAY COMO SILK ROUTE ITINERARY

Como City of Silk

Start with a couple of nights in the city of Como itself. This should give you plenty of time to visit the silk museum and see the rest of the town. Don’t miss the Duomo, commonly described as the last Gothic cathedral built in Italy, and do take a walk up the western shore to admire the beautiful lakeside villas there.

On your third day, take a boat trip to Bellagio, one of Lake Como’s most beautiful villages, where you’ll find Pierangelo Masciadri. Even if you’re not planning to buy, it’s always nice to window shop, and Bellagio is a lovely place to do this, and to spend the night before returning to Como on your fourth day.
