The Experience
Before You Go

Hydrate and snack
Bring a small water bottle and cash or card for a mid-ride espresso or gelato stop at the villa break.
Bring ID and check weight/height limits
You’ll need ID to sign the bike rental; minimum height is ~160 cm and max bike weight limit is 130 kg.

Conservation Note
Lake Como’s shoreline communities focus on low-impact tourism; stick to marked paths and avoid littering to help protect sensitive lakeside habitats.
Como developed as a Roman crossroads and later flourished in the medieval and silk industries; many villas and squares reflect that layered civic history.
