Discover the Legacy of Alessandro Volta in Como

Getting There

• Car

  If you are driving, head towards the city of Como. Use the A9 motorway if you're coming from Milan, and follow the signs to Como. Once you arrive in Como, look for parking options in the city center, as parking can be limited. The nearest parking lot is 'Parcheggio Val Mulini' located at Via Val Mulini, 22100 Como CO, which is a short walk from the statue. From the parking lot, walk towards P.za Alessandro Volta, which is approximately a 10-minute walk. The statue is located in the square at the coordinates 45.8117865, 9.0793486.

• Public Transportation

  If you are using public transportation, take a train to Como San Giovanni railway station, which is well-connected with Milan and other major cities. Once you arrive at Como San Giovanni, exit the station and head towards the main road (Viale Giuseppe Garibaldi). You can either walk, which takes about 20 minutes, or take bus number 6 from the bus stop outside the station towards 'Piazza Duomo'. Get off at the stop 'Piazza Duomo'. From there, it’s a short 5-minute walk to P.za Alessandro Volta. The statue is located in the square at the coordinates 45.8117865, 9.0793486.

• Walking

  If you are already in the city center of Como, you can easily reach the Alessandro Volta Statue on foot. From the Cathedral of Como (Duomo), head east on Via Vittorio Emanuele II, then turn left onto Via Alessandro Volta. Continue straight for about 5 minutes until you reach P.za Alessandro Volta. The statue is prominently displayed in the square, which is a popular gathering place for both tourists and locals.
