An unusual and picturesque way of visiting the Como province is by using the characteristic passenger boats which allow the visitor to capture the more romantic aspect of the lake and of its towns.
This means of transport offers a unique view of the ancient villas, transmitting an excitement which reminds the one of the Grand Tours, made by young nobles in years gone by.
In addition to the boats, another original way to appreciate the views of the Como region is by admiring it from above with a trip on the Como-Brunate cable-railway, on the Argegno-Pigra cable-car or for the more adventurous visitor on board a sea-plane. Como infact has the only European school where it is possible to obtain a pilot's licence for this sort of vehicle.
