Wow views are amazing so worthy doing this lovely funicular ride up the mountain to brunate - views weee amazing !! Lovely little old time to explore as well different feel to como Highly recommend

A lovely view of Como awaits you at the top. Plenty of places to stop and pass the time of day with a drink or meal. The lighthouse is a steep walk on, but electric bikes or the jeep ride are worth the investment. The queue is quite long so arrive early on a hot day.

The walking tour with Leonardo was exceptional! He was extremely knowledgeable and interesting to listen to. We especially like the walk to the funicular and the amazing views.

The heat was brutal and the line was long. It’s peak season for tourists, but that doesn’t deter people from going. There are no fans or ac in the car, but the top view is lovely. You can pay for a roundtrip ticket. Kids enjoyed the ride and at the top we were able to enjoy the shaded trees and small shops. It was peaceful

A faire , la vue est magnifique . Pour les plus en forme , il faut grimper à pieds un chemin bien pentu pour arriver jusqu au phare. Aucune attente pour prendre les billets le matin à 10h, mais en redescendant à 13h , un monde fou !

Schlechte Erfahrungen im Hotel Locanda Milano . Schlechte Küche. Sehr enge Parkings. Veraltete Zimmer. Schlechte Preis/Leistung Verhältnis. Enge Straßen.

Belle ville et funiculaire très pratique mais l’hôtel à Brunate est très difficile d’accès et a trop peu de parkings

Super moment, le samedi, il faut y aller max à 10h30 /11h . Ensuite, c'est full de monde pour obtenir les tickets et prendre le funiculaire. C'est un plaisir pour les yeux, magnifique montée vu sur le lac et les montagnes. Passage obligé à Como. Attention aux marchands en haut, ils vendent sans afficher les prix donc ils peuvent vous dire le prix qu'ils veulent. Par exemple, un magnette en haut est à 5€, en bas compter 4€ le magnette, idem pour les chaussettes 9€ en haut, 8€ en bas. L'église en haut est magnifique, à visiter.
