This day reaches the lake from the east: instead of Como, the car takes the SS36 through the Brianza to Lecco and follows the eastern shore of the Lecco branch to Varenna, a small village of coloured houses stacked above a tiny harbour. After the morning there, a passenger ferry of about a quarter of an hour carries you over to Bellagio. It is a quieter, more village-focused alternative to the Como-based [day trips from Milan](https://www.milanobycar.com/day-trip-from-milan). While you cross on the passenger boat, your driver brings the car round by road via Lecco and meets you in Bellagio, so the day ends there without going back. If you prefer the car to cross with you, it can travel on the car ferry, with the ticket paid on the day. **The price is per vehicle, not per person**: from **€600** with an E-Class for two, from **€680** with a V-Class for up to six. ### Varenna & Bellagio Day at a Glance DepartureDoor-to-door, Milan hotel or airport Distanceabout 80 km each way · SS36 via Lecco Driveabout 1 h 15 min to Varenna · about 1 h 30 min back Package8 hours · 150 km included Extra hours€75 (E) · €85 (V) Group sizePrivate · up to 6 (V-Class) HighlightsVarenna harbour · Villa Monastero · ferry · Bellagio [Book Your Varenna & Bellagio Day](#mci-book) Suggested Itinerary — Fully Customisable## Varenna & Bellagio Day Trip Itinerary Varenna while it is still quiet, a short boat ride at midday, and an afternoon in Bellagio. **Tailor-made, always.** This itinerary is our suggestion only: every MilanobyCar day trip is tailor-made. Change the stops, the order and the timing as you like, or tell us your own plan in the booking notes. **Your driver, your local insider.** Our chauffeurs are not licensed tour guides and do not guide you inside museums or sites, but they know these places well from years on the road: ask them for the best viewpoints, where to eat, where to stroll and how to avoid the busiest spots. If you would like a licensed guide, we can book one for you. Departure ### Pick-up at your hotel in Milan Your driver meets you in the lobby. The SS36 runs north through the Brianza to Lecco, then the road follows the eastern shore of the lake to Varenna. From Linate or Bergamo airport, the day can start at arrivals. Depart around 9:00Included in package Varenna ### The harbour and the Lovers’ Walk Your driver drops you by the village, as parking in Varenna is scarce. Walk the Passeggiata degli Innamorati, a short promenade suspended above the water between the ferry landing and the village, then the harbour and Piazza San Giorgio with its 14th-century church. Around 10:15–11:15Free to walk Villa Monastero ### Lakeside garden and house museum A former convent turned villa, with a botanical garden stretching along the shore and a house museum furnished in late 19th-century style. The garden is open most of the year; the museum closes on Tuesdays outside summer. Villa Cipressi’s garden next door is an alternative. 11:15–12:30Ticket not included Ferry ### Across the lake to Bellagio The passenger ferry from Varenna to Bellagio takes about 15–20 minutes. Meanwhile your driver brings the car round by road via Lecco, or puts it on the car ferry if you prefer. Around 12:45Ferry ticket not included Lunch ### Lunch in Bellagio Lake fish, risotto and local cheeses. Your driver can suggest a place on the lakefront or in the upper lanes and book a table. Around 13:15–14:30Meal not included Bellagio ### Lanes, Basilica of San Giacomo and Villa Melzi Climb the stepped lanes to the Romanesque basilica, walk out to Punta Spartivento, or follow the shore to the Villa Melzi gardens, open from spring until the end of October. 14:30–15:45Garden ticket not included Return ### Back to Milan via Lecco The car leaves from Bellagio along the lake road to Lecco and the SS36.

Passenger ferry to Bellagio, and back to Milan via Lecco, about 1 hour 30 minutes. SS36 Milan – Lecco · eastern shoreFerry Varenna – BellagioAirportsPossible stops Frequently Asked Questions## Varenna & Bellagio Day Trip from Milan — FAQ How far is Varenna from Milan? About 80 km. By car it takes around 1 hour 15 minutes on the SS36 via Lecco and then the eastern lake road, more on summer weekends. From Bellagio back to Milan via Lecco is about 1 hour 30 minutes. How do we get from Varenna to Bellagio? By the passenger ferry, which takes about 15–20 minutes. While you cross, your driver drives round via Lecco, about an hour, and meets you in Bellagio. If you want the car on board with you, it can take the car ferry; that ticket is paid on the day. How much does a private day trip from Milan to Varenna and Bellagio cost? From €600 per car with a Mercedes E-Class (up to 2 passengers) and from €680 with a V-Class (up to 6), for 8 hours with 150 km included. Saturdays and Sundays are +20%, major holidays +50%, and extra hours cost €75 (E-Class) or €85 (V-Class). How is this different from the other Lake Como day trips? It approaches the lake from Lecco rather than Como and focuses on two villages instead of a long drive along the shore. You see Varenna, which the Como-based tours usually skip, and you cross the lake by boat, but with no need to come back to your starting pier. Can the car drive into Varenna? The village is small, with very limited parking and narrow lanes down to the water, so your driver drops you at the edge of the centre and collects you at a time you agree, or meets you directly in Bellagio. Is a guide included? No. Your driver is not a licensed tour guide and does not guide you inside the sites, but after years on these roads he knows Varenna and Bellagio well and can recommend the best viewpoints, places and restaurants, and give you practical tips for the day. A licensed local guide can be booked on request. ### Varenna and Bellagio by private car or by train? There is a train from Milan to Varenna-Esino taking about an hour, and the station is a short walk from the village. Bellagio has no station, so you add the ferry, and coming home means a ferry back to Varenna and the train again. A private car starts at your hotel, avoids the return crossing and brings you home from Bellagio directly. ### What makes Varenna worth the detour? Varenna is smaller and quieter than Bellagio, with its harbour, the promenade over the water and two villas with lakeside gardens. Above the village stands the Castello di Vezio, and just south of it the Fiumelatte, about 250 m long and often described as the shortest river in Italy, flows from spring to autumn. ### How much is a Varenna and Bellagio day trip? MilanobyCar charges a fixed price per car: from €600 for two passengers in a Mercedes E-Class and from €680 for up to six in a V-Class, for 8 hours with 150 km included. Ferry tickets are extra. Weekends +20%, holidays +50%, extra hours €75 or €85.
