- Hello and welcome to another trip report!
This is another 'How To' guide helping you get from Central Milan to Lake Como, while also giving a good review of the new trainset in use on this line. Now there are various way to get here, some fast, some slower and with varying frequencies and this is just one of them.
So today we are riding aboard a brand new Hitatchi Caravaggio double decker EMU which forms the commuter service between Milano Porta Garibaldi and Como San Giovanni
There are many more Italian trains to come along with loads of Dutch, French & German ones among others so subscribe so you don't miss out!

The entire fleet of Trenitalia and Trenord regional trains will be renewed with Hitachi rock trains and Alstom pops, all built in Italy. More than a thousand new regional trains will be introduced throughout Italy.
The plan is to replace all regional trains from 2019 until 2024
Once delivery is complete, Italy will have the most beautiful and new train park in the world among the regional trains and the new high-speed trains.
Yes, they are much nicer trains 🙂
Diciamo pure che finalmente saremo un Paese europeo secondo questo punto di vista. I prossimi sono gli autobus, se le migliaia di compagnie di trasporto locale trovassero un modo
ITALY is unic country avec 2company AV: FRECCIA ROSSA e ITALO......3AIRCRAFT, 5 SUPERCAR ,1ª CANTIERI NAVALI....2ND INDUSTRY IN EUROPE, 1ª GERMANY, 3 FRANCE.....THE SOUTH OF ITALY IS MAFIA EVASION FISCALE, MENTALITY OF SHIT. 1⁰ NAPOLI GOMORRA🤣
@@Hastdupech8509 stronzone, anche tu che ti fai manipolare dagli stranieri. Gli stranieri si sbagliano con il sud e soprattutto quella citta mega caotica caciarona e violente come Napoli. Il centro nord non ha1 cazzo da invidiare sia in treni ed altro.2compagnie di AV SOLO L ITALIA LE HA ...ITALO E FRECCIA ROSSA.CAPITO.PRIMA DI FARE I SALAMI LECCHI.SBATTIGLI IN FACCIA CHE COME INDUSTRIA SOLO LA GERMANIA PRODUCE PIU DI NOI IN EUROPA. LA FRANCIA È TESTA.
@@valerianocuomo996 To every late-night reader of this soap opera with Mr Cuomo here: the overall condition of Italian transportation is decent, with the South of Italy lagging a bit behind thanks to the poor management of railways there, which is a courtesy of Trenitalia SpA however, the national company. The elegant, refined and totally non-foul mouthed marquis here just can't wrap his head around the fact that Southern Italy is Italy as much as the North, poor lil thingy. About the avec, his flaming wrath fogged his brain, things that happen with these patriotic geniuses .
Salve a lei marchese. Non mi pare che Trenord sia sto granché e i treni vecchi e merdosi di Trenitalia circolano dappertutto. Non commento neanche la roba su Napoli, se credi che i disservizi stiano solo lì ti sbagli. Se vogliam parlare di AV, parliamo dei costi stratosferici della Milano-Torino (sì, profondo sud proprio) e dei perenni ritardi. Parliamo di come il Nord sia favorito di nuovo, con le poche linee in costruzione solo lì? Parliamo delle metropolitane inesistenti? Uniche lunghe abbastanza (e corte rispetto al resto d'Europa) sono a Milano e Roma, mentre a Genova, Napoli, Torino e Catania ci sono due binari in croce. Firenze, Bologna, Verona, Bari, Padova, Palermo, Messina non pervenute, e ci sarebbero altre grandi città che potrebbero averle.
Se avessimo un trasporto pubblico perfetto, al quale il tuo concetto di Italia 2021 corrisponde, non saremmo quelli ad avere più auto per 1000 abitanti in Europa. Non siamo nel terzo mondo ma manco i migliori d'Europa, come vuole far intendere il tuo commento ardente di patriottismo (ferroviario? Boh, fa ridere comunque). In ogni caso, per quanto ti possa far schifo l'idea, ti informo che i Savoia presero anche il Regno di Napoli (dalla padella alla brace...) 160 anni fa, quindi fai pace con la storia e con la geografia, il Sud è parte d'Italia tanto quanto il Nord. Altrimenti emigra, che ti devo dire piccola stellina discriminata dai meridionali.
Meno male che a me hai scritto solo in italiano va la, la figura non proprio ideale ce la fai fare tu. E avec è francese, per informazione. In ogni caso, ma chi usa stronzone? Non sarai uno di quei 50enni invasati che appestano il web? Passa ad altri bei video di questo youtuber e non star qui a rompere, su. E il caps-lock lascialo a Myss Keta
Thank you for sharing these steps - very few video out there that explain the actual steps of what you need to do for trains and truly getting to your destination. I appreciate it ! :)
Glad it was helpful!
YAY !! LAKE COMO !!! 😍 Very nice video !! Thank you so much for this one !!! 👍👍😃🚄💜🥁🐉🎤🎶💞
Great video thank you! Hoping to go this summer!
The trains to Como that depart from the legendary railway station of the Northern Milan Railways (FNM) called Milano Cadorna, end the journey in the railway station called Como Lago Nord (north as it belongs to the historical company of the Northern Milan Railways), which is a few meters from Lake Como (Lario), from the steamers and the funicular to Brunate, to be taken absolutely without ifs and buts! At Milano Cadorna it is possible to buy direct tickets (through tickets) both for Brunate and for the places that can be reached by steamer.
Love Italia! 🇮🇹 Interesting review of the Trenord. Would like to visit the Italian lakes myself 🇬🇧
Thanks, it's definitely worth a visit!! 🇮🇹
Greatest Lakes in Italia:
1. Lake Garda, Lombardy, Veneto, Trentino
2. Lake Como, Lombardy
3. Lake Maggiore, Switzerland, Lombardy, Piemont
4. Lake Lugano, Switzerland, Lombardy
5. Lake Orta, Piemont
6. Lake Iseo, Lombardy
7. Lake Braies, Trentino
8. Lake Bolsena, Lazio
9. Lake Bracciano, Lazio
10. Lake Ledro, Trentino
11. Lake Blu, Aosta Valle
@@ninnobroggi Thank you! 🇬🇧 Grazie! 🇮🇹
i've never seen a double deck train, it's beautiful! at least once i can be proud of my country
In Italy dobledecker train are use since the 80s
1:30 I like that we've now started using actual locals to do the foreign languages as well across Europe. It gives it more character. When announcements in foreign languages started becoming regular in the 90s they always got some American or British voice actor (or an actor from wherever the language is from) to do it and it just isn't as charming.
Lol yeah I totally agree 😁
Awesome trainset.......could use these in a lot of places around the world. Good job, man. 👍
Yes, I agree! 👍🏻
Very nice video,I will be visiting on July.
Thanks, Have fun!
Great design both inside and out.
I agree 👍🏻😊
In reality, the name of the lake that bathes the city of Como is Lario, that of Lake Maggiore is Verbano, that of Lake Lugano is Ceresio, that of Lake Iseo is Sebino, that of Lake Garda is Benaco, that of Lake of Geneva is Lemàno and so on
Great lake at the end the train itself looks good but the front looks bashed in lol 😂
I love the moment you select to print the ticket, your train were announced! Way to add anxiety ;D
I was very late for this train 😂
Nice video, congrats! 🎉
Thanks! 😃
This was very helpful 😊
🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
Another very interesting lake to visit is the Lake Maggiore. Less famous but spectacular. You can reach Arona or Stresa from the same station you visit in Milan
Thanks for the tips!
Does this go to Bellagio too? I would like to take a day trip from Milan to Lake Como and the upper part like Bellagio and Verneza (not sure if correct spelling) Should I take a boat back from here to Lake Como train station and back to Milan, so I can the Lake view? Thank you!
@@jkd246 i think when you arrive in Como you have to take or the bus or the boat. For the boat check to navigazione Lago Como for the schedules. The only part of the Como lake served by train (apart from Como) directly is the eastern part of the lake from Lecco to Colico .
If you mean Varenna you can arrive directly by train from Milan (Milano Sondrio or Milano Tirano) . Instead as told you before for Bellagio there is no train service
As someone who lives near these everyday, I can safely say I like them a lot. They remind me of the Stadler Kiss Flirts, but I prefer this design. They look nice imo and their motors actually sound nice also (when you can hear them that is). Win win.
I did a long run to Milano-Domo the other day, and yes, they are great trains 🙏🏻
6:53 luckily some of these locos (E656, E444) are being preserved for historical train services
Oh that's great, where and when do they run? 😎
Beautiful
Thanks!
Many many love to Italia(one of the world most beautiful and historical country)
Yep I agree 😊
Excellent video!
3 things though…
Journey time to Como..?
Is it better to sit on the left hand side of the train or right, when heading for Como?
And how far is the lake from the station by bus, taxi, on foot?
I’m subscribing today!
Thanks.
Journey time about 40 mins. Sit on the right heading to Como from Milan, and the station is around a 15 min walk from the lake and 10 from the town centre.
also the Trenitalia counterpart (ETR 421, 521, 621 "Rock" - three variations based on how many cars the train has, 4, 5 or 6) looks sleek and cool.
As Italian I can firmly say modern EMUs are looking really nice!
I agree 👍🏻😊🇮🇹
Very good video. You can go also to "Como Nord Lago " deping the Milano Cadorna station In the centre of Milan . If you want go directly in front of the lake you can choose also this option.
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Como_Nord_Lago_railway_station?wprov=sfla1 here you can see the description of the station that I have mentioned . It's a separate line from the line which you describe in your video
I did find that out after HAHA
Hi! I’m trying to plan my trip and just wanted to understand your comment. So the option in the video doesn’t take you directly in front of the lake but going to Como Nord Lago will? Thanks!
@@Sara-xe9sd the Como Nord Lago station is nearer to the lake than Como San Giovanni station. You can take the train to Como Nord Lago from Milano Cadorna
@@lucabattanta9246 Thank you! Do you happen to know if theres any storage lockers for luggage in the Como Lago station?
the train seems to be new ... god trip
Yes it's a nice new train! 👌
Hi thank you for this video, it helps a lot specially to people like me that has never been to Italy. question, this train station (Saint Giovani) is in Bellagio?
No, it's on the mainline, just outside Como
Took a side trip to the lake before going into Venice. Lake como is just very scenic and the fabulous mansions that like the lake and hillsides
Beautiful isn't it 😍
@@NonstopEurotrip its breathtaking. I wished we could stay at least another day but the next morning we will go to Venice. We have to get back to Milan for overnight at our hotel. It must be a different experience during winter.
Thank you. Very helpful. I presume you are near the main part of como%?
Como Lago is the central station
The Hitachi train you boarded is actually manufactured in Italy, in the city of Pistoia near Florence
Crazy that it's built by the same people responsible for the fyra
2:45 I had to run across the entire station to catch my train because of this lol
I traveled there last year, so this trip report is a bit late for me xD
back then they used way older trains on that route!
Pretty much what I had to do LOL... The new trains are a big improvement!
Man they are nice
That is a new italian train called Lombardia Rock,
You could have gone to Como Lago (Como Lago is Lake Como)
Yep, I said there are other routes available 🙂
CARAVAGGIO by Trenord/ROCK by Trenitalia
Would you recommend this for a group traveling with small babies to sight see or would a guided tour be a better option?
Yes, it's very accessible. Plenty of space for pushchairs. Or take the train direct to Como Lago station right by the lake shore.
Another option is taking the train from Stazione Nord to Como Lago. That stop is the end of the line and 200 meters from the lake. You can get from Malpensa to Como Lago, by changing trains in Saronno.
very informative. Did I read right. If I bought a ticket one for 9h and my connection train is a bit late I can hop on the 9h30 train with amn online ticket printed for 9h?
Yes, they're flexible
In theory, they could let you off if the train is crowded and there are no free seats: a novelty introduced following the COVID-19 pandemic. In fact, if the travel solution you have selected includes several trains or buses to replace canceled trains, the system will print, in addition to the actual ticket, a specific coupon for each train included in the price. Beware of tickets for travel solutions that contemplate the use of urban transport, which are generally not included in the price of the railway ticket (for example the underground line 2 between Milano Centrale and Milano Porta Garibaldi). In any case, to move between Milan and Como or vice versa, I prefer the trains that run between Milan Cadorna and Como Lago Nord, a railway station located a few steps from the lake.
I think that Hitachi could build more trains in Europe and not just the UK. But in Italy. Ranging from high speed AT300, commuter AT200 and metro AT100 rolling stocks.
They do build quite a lot already, they've got their work cut out with these new Italian Carravagios...
Some of the UK Hitachi fleet were assembled in Italy. However given the wider loading gauge European trains always have more room and smoother ride than the UK versions . Engineering means weight distribution is pushed past the bogies and vibration dissipated while downward forces reduce roll. UK narrow loading gauge forces load directly above the bogies and vibration require massive damping not good
do they have elevators at the train station or you have to carry your bags through the stairs? we are going next week and planing to ride train to lake Como
They do, yes!
Hi there! Do they have luggage storage at the Lake como station?
There are lockers, yes!
Lake of Como has got its proper name: Lago Lario.
The Garda Lake has got its proper name as well: Lago Benàco
And so is the same for many other lakes in the Alps.
Lago di Lugano: Lago Ceresio.
Lago d'Iseo: Lago Sebino...
Interesting 🤓
…and do not forget Lago Maggiore: Lago Verbano 😁
Which one do you prefer, Caravaggio or Regio2N?
They're both very similar tbh
This is the second most important station in Milan, from there the Express leaves directly to Paris. obviously has a metro station.
I hope to try that this year ☺️
preferably color the ticket at the box office since the applications place up to more than € 50 more .. the first class ticket costs a maximum of € 99 to Paris. From Milan it leaves at 6.30 in the morning. is the best
I hate you
So it’s just 1 train ride from Milan to lake como?no need of any other transfers? How do you get to Bellagio from there
Yes. Then you'd have to take a bus.
The top train in center and north ITALY. Most in EUROPE
🥰🇮🇹
You say you looked up the platform number before buying the ticket but is the platform number not written on the ticket ?
Also, I’ve seen other RUclipsrs fined over $100 for not validating their ticket so it’s important to validate the ticket , right ??
No the platform number is not on the ticket. And if you buy an e-ticket you can't validate it anyway
Usually commuter trains likes this left from the same platform, but if there are problems or congestions they can change just like the gates at the airport
Was it possible to charge your ebike at the train? Looked like it. That would be great.
I honestly don't know, sorry!
Yes you can, I'm sure about that because I caught this train two months ago and I charged my bike
Yep, I take these trains on my way to and from Bologna Centrale and you definitely can as the plug is behind the bike when you place it, as high as the rear wheel. Never brought my bike with me cause they steal them in Bologna tho😂
@@Hastdupech8509 In the Netherlands the same therefore 3 locks with me. In the hope they steal the next bike with only one lock 😉
@@1970jel It's quite stressing tho. After this pandemic ends and going to the Uni will be safe and worth it (as of now I only have 1h30 in person on Monday, Tu and Wed), I'll consider getting the bike sharing option of Trenitalia-Tper's monthly pass (it's Emilia Romagna region and Trenitalia together with specific offers for all commuters among the biggest cities in this region), no worries about your bike
What train station should I get if we will stay in Verrana? Can I purchase my ticket online?
You have to change in Milan
Could you tell me is advance booking needed Milan to lake Como train tickets?
No, you can buy the tickets on the app or from the ticket machines right up until travel for the same price 👌🏻

3:46 she realised she is being filmed
🙊🙊🙊
Is the lake walking distance from train station?
About 15 mins
BEST WAY:from Milano Centrale take the train to Sondrio-Tirano and stop in VARENNA.
Milano👍
🇮🇹🇮🇹🇮🇹
Do they have lifts to the platforms .
Yes they do!
All platform need to be accessable to disable by law ( yes there are lift)
Is it possible from central station milano
Yes! On a Tilo or EuroCity service
The seats on the train from Milan to Como looked to have about as much padding (ie. very little) as those on numerous new trains in the UK. Was that just an illusion or are they thinly padded?
They're not actually that bad, definitely better than class 700 seats
Train in England shit
how do you get to bellagio from here
Bellinzona?
With the "Navigazione Laghi" (which is a ferry service) or by car. Unfortunately there are not train stations in Bellagio.
Some of the UK Hitachi fleet were assembled in Italy. However given the wider loading gauge European trains always have more room and smoother ride than the UK versions . Engineering means weight distribution is pushed past the bogies and vibration dissipated while downward forces reduce roll. UK narrow loading gauge forces load directly above the bogies and vibration require massive damping not good
Our politicians are still failing to recognise or understand these forces by demanding that HS2 be classic (UK) loading gauge compatible . This is not how you build out genuine high speed rail.
I'd settle for better seats in our trains 😂
Can I go to Lugano by the same way?
On the TILO service from Milano Centrale
@@NonstopEurotrip thanks!
as a guy from como i’ve never seen that train 😂
🤣🇮🇹🤣🇮🇹🤣🇮🇹
Ma come non lo hai visto dov’è che vivi a Estero ?
How? I went to Como three times, one time I used a old regional train, the second time I used the Trenitalia Rock or Trenord Caravaggio and the third time the FLIRT operated by TiLo. Anyways it's pretty strange that you never seen one of them since that those trainsets run quite frequently.
Traduz em Portugues esse video .
Shame you didn't pay by cash but i definitely think it interesting video thanks
Why?
You know when the train start and you do not know if the train will end.
I love trenod 'cause I spend tooooooo much time waiting and waiting and waiting
😅
@@rosso45 so true
Can anyone help with getting to Milan Malpensa airport to Como. Cheapest, and least time consuming way?
You can search for a bus to Como from Malpensa or alternatively you can take the Malpensa express to Saronno and in Saronno you change the train and take the train to Como Lago .
Hi, how long did it take from Milan to Como? Thanks
Around 1 hour
Beware of a pickpocket? answering machine.:)
Yes it is a autimatic message from this machine, usually huge station have hundreds of travellers ( yesteday i was in Milano centrale and it was pack of tourists), where there are tourists there are pickpockers
07:59, "All announcements are made in Italian and English, a nice touch". Yeah and meanwhile the vast majority of Italians are ignorant of both Latin (their mother language) and French (their sister language). They know (some) globish but they've completely given up on their roots and identity.
International language 🤷🏻♂️
Ma non possiamo pretendere che ci siano annunci in 45 lingue diverse! I treni da annunciare sono molti ed è naturale che si razionalizzi.
@@Alessandro2302 Où ai-je prétendu qu'il faudrait faire les annonces en 45 langues? Comme toujours, les gens qui n'ont pas d'argument caricaturent pour mieux ridiculiser. C'est lamentable et pas convaincant.
