Once having taken the train to Varenna (see main page), you can walk around the town itself from one end to the other. But being situated in the middle of Lake Como, you will want to use the good ferry system to visit the other mid lake towns (Bellagio, Menaggio, Lenno, Tremezzo). You can buy individual one way rides, round trip, or my favorite....the all day pass. This allows you to take any ferry (walk on or car) to any of the midlake towns all day long. Best deal for sure.

To get to Varenna, forget about driving there, unless you want to or live there anyway, I would advise you to make use of the lake boat service.
You can drive your car onto the ferry and it drops you off, you can drive into town or to somewhere else, cutting down on driving time as well.
The boats are relaxing, affordable and reliable.
Just go to a boat ticket office next to the pier and ask the attendant for assistance. Make sure you catch the right ship.

An idyllic little town on Lago di Como

Compared to its close neighbor, Bellagio, I suppose Varenna isn't that well known. But I like it even better--a relatively unpretentious and quiet town on the banks of Lago di Como (Lake Como),...
