Como, Lago de Como: Una Gu\u00eda a la Gran Ciudad Puerta de Entrada del Lago<\/h1>\n\n\n\n

La mayor\u00eda de la gente llega al lago en Como. Los trenes de Mil\u00e1n terminan aqu\u00ed, los ferries comienzan aqu\u00ed y el agua se revela de repente al salir de la estaci\u00f3n: una pared de monta\u00f1as verdes que caen directamente en el azul, con una ciudad amurallada apilada al pie de ella. Como es el coraz\u00f3n pr\u00e1ctico de toda la regi\u00f3n, el punto al que todo lo dem\u00e1s se conecta de nuevo.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But it would be a mistake to treat it only as a doorway. Como, Lake Como’s southern gateway, is a working city rather than a resort, and it has been for a very long time. It has made silk for centuries and still does. It gave the world Alessandro Volta, and, long before him, the two Plinys of ancient Rome. Walk ten minutes from the platforms and you are inside medieval walls, under a Gothic cathedral, beside a promenade that runs along the water. Give it half a day and it rewards you; make it your base and you have the best-connected address on the lake.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Una breve historia<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Como fue originariamente Comum Romano, lugar de nacimiento de Plinio el Viejo y su sobrino Plinio el Joven. Su car\u00e1cter medieval se forj\u00f3 en el conflicto: despu\u00e9s de que Mil\u00e1n arrasara la ciudad en 1127, el emperador Federico Barbarroja autoriz\u00f3 la reconstrucci\u00f3n de sus defensas, y para 1192 la gran puerta de Porta Torre se erig\u00eda frente a la carretera a Mil\u00e1n como una deliberada declaraci\u00f3n de independencia.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

From the Renaissance onward, Como’s fortune was silk \u2014 a trade that still runs through the city’s workshops and design houses. In 1745 it produced Alessandro Volta, the physicist who built the first electric battery and lent his name to the volt. That is the short version. For the deeper story of the city’s faith, culture and traditions, see our guide to the historia cultural de Como<\/a>. Lo que sigue aqu\u00ed es lo pr\u00e1ctico: d\u00f3nde ir y qu\u00e9 ver.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

D\u00f3nde se asienta Como en el lago<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Como occupies the extreme south-western tip of the lake, where the Como arm narrows to a point against the foot of the Alps. It is the closest lakeside town to Milan \u2014 a little under an hour by train \u2014 which is exactly why it is the standard arrival point, and the busiest. Two stations serve it: Como San Giovanni, on the main line from Milan and Switzerland, and Como Lago, right at the water’s edge.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

From the city’s piers, the ferries fan out north along both shores. The first stop up the western shore is Tavernola, a small frazione just past the edge of town; from there the boats carry on toward Cernobbio and, eventually, the fork of the lake at Bellagio. Wherever you are heading, you are heading from here.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Las 5 mejores cosas que ver en Como<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

1. Catedral de Como (Duomo di Como)<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The Duomo is the city’s masterpiece, and often called the last Gothic cathedral built in Italy \u2014 begun in 1396 and not finished until 1770, when Filippo Juvarra crowned it with a Rococo dome. The result is a single building you can read like a timeline, Gothic at the base and Baroque at the top. Flanking the main portal are statues of Pliny the Elder and Pliny the Younger, a rare pair of pagan Romans standing guard on a Christian facade. Step inside for the 16th-century tapestries and the paintings by Bernardino Luini and Gaudenzio Ferrari.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

2. El funicular de Brunate<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Para la vista que define la ciudad, tome el funicular hasta el pueblo de Brunate, en la cresta de arriba. Inaugurado en 1894 y en funcionamiento desde entonces, recorre poco m\u00e1s de un kil\u00f3metro con pendientes que alcanzan el 55 por ciento, por lo que toda la cuenca se abre ante usted a medida que asciende. Desde los balcones de la cima, el panorama sobre Como y el lago inferior es uno de los mejores de la regi\u00f3n, y los senderos para caminar salen directamente hacia las colinas para cualquiera que quiera seguir ascendiendo.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

3. El lago: Tempio Voltiano y la vida el\u00e9ctrica<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Como’s promenade is where the city turns to face its water, and it is stitched with tributes to Volta. The neoclassical Tempio Voltiano (1928) is a compact museum built to hold his instruments and papers. Out on the breakwater beyond it stands Life Electric, Daniel Libeskind’s stainless-steel sculpture unveiled in 2015 \u2014 two curving blades nearly fourteen metres tall, shaped to evoke the tension between the poles of a battery. Old science and new architecture, on the same short walk.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

4. Villa Olmo y sus jardines<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

West along the shore, Villa Olmo is Como’s grand neoclassical villa, built between 1797 and 1812 to a design by the architect Simone Cantoni. The house itself opens only for exhibitions, but the lakeside gardens are free and open through the day \u2014 an easy, leafy walk from the centre that gives you the villa, the water and a quieter stretch of shoreline all at once.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

5. El centro hist\u00f3rico: Piazza Cavour y Porta Torre<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

El casco antiguo es compacto y est\u00e1 hecho para caminar. La Piazza Cavour se abre directamente al lago, una amplia plaza de caf\u00e9s frente a los embarcaderos de ferries. Detr\u00e1s de ella, la apretada cuadr\u00edcula de calles romanas sobrevive casi intacta, cerrada en su borde sur por la Porta Torre, la puerta medieval de cuarenta metros de 1192, y una de las piezas de arquitectura militar rom\u00e1nica mejor conservadas de Italia. Rastrea la l\u00ednea de las antiguas murallas y habr\u00e1s rodeado la ciudad medieval en menos de una hora.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Planeando tu visita<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Llegando.<\/strong> Como San Giovanni est\u00e1 a menos de una hora de Mil\u00e1n Central; para un repaso completo de aeropuertos, estaciones y traslados, consulta nuestra gu\u00eda de C\u00f3mo llegar del Mil\u00e1n al Lago de Como<\/a>. Una vez que hayas llegado, los ferris son la forma de ver el resto del lago \u2014 nuestro Gu\u00eda de ferris del Lago de Como<\/a> Cubre rutas, billetes y horarios.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Lo mejor para.<\/strong> Quienes visitan la ciudad por primera vez, los que vienen de Mil\u00e1n a pasar el d\u00eda y cualquiera que prefiera alojarse en el centro de la ciudad, con tiendas, restaurantes y medios de transporte, en lugar de en un complejo tur\u00edstico tranquilo.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Cu\u00e1ndo ir.<\/strong> La primavera y principios de oto\u00f1o son ideales: templados, despejados y m\u00e1s tranquilos que la multitud de julio y agosto. El verano funciona si empiezas temprano y usas el funicular antes de que se formen las colas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Cerca.<\/strong> La primera aldea verdadera al norte es Cernobbio<\/a>, a diez minutos en barco y que merece medio d\u00eda por sus villas. M\u00e1s arriba, donde el lago se divide alrededor de su promontorio central, se encuentra Bellagio<\/a>, la siguiente parada cl\u00e1sica en cualquier itinerario de Como.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Como is not the prettiest village on the lake, and it does not try to be. It is the one that makes the rest of the lake possible \u2014 a real city with a Gothic cathedral, a mountain at its back and a battery’s worth of history along its shore. Arrive here, look up, and the lake takes care of the rest.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
