Get to know Como in detail
The Como guide on Tourist Office is the place to start for anyone deciding things to see in Como. It follows a one day route from Villa Olmo along the lakefront to the Tempio Voltiano and Piazza Cavour, then into the old town for the Basilica di San Fedele and Como Cathedral, and finishes at the Como-Brunate funicular.
It also picks out the free landmarks and viewpoints, from Porta Torre to the Basilica di Sant'Abbondio, and adds sights beyond the route such as Castello Baradello and the Museo della Seta, plus boat trips up the lake and the best months to visit.
Public holidays in Como to plan around
Public holidays can change opening hours across Como: museums, shops, attractions and public services may close or switch to holiday hours. Italy sets its public holidays by national law, so the calendar that applies in Como is the national one plus a local date for the patron saint of the city. In 2026 the national list has 12 dates. Every Sunday is also a public holiday under the same rules, so Easter Sunday, on 5 April 2026, is not a separate date in the national list. One date is new in 2026: 4 October, the feast of Saint Francis of Assisi, made a national holiday by a law of 8 October 2025 that took effect on 1 January 2026, and it falls on a Sunday.
For Info Point Broletto and Info Point Stazione F.S. San Giovanni, the pages on comune.como.it each give one line of hours for Monday to Sunday and name no holiday closures.

Local holidays in Como 2026
- 31 August Saint Abundius, patron saint of Como (Sant'Abbondio), local
This date comes from the city's patron rather than from national law. The Comune di Como's news page for the 2026 patronal fair says the feast of the city's patron saint is celebrated on 31 August, its portal oggiacomo.it calls it the festivity of the city's patron, and the government's table of public holidays adds the local holiday of the patron saint to the national days.
