Como has two train stations

Easy to confuse: Como San Giovanni is the main FS station, sits in the upper city, and handles fast trains to Milan, regional services, and the international line toward Chiasso, Lugano, and Zurich. Como Lago (also called Como Nord Lago or just *Como Lago*) is at the waterfront, a 2-minute walk from the lake itself, and runs only the Trenord regional line to Milano Cadorna. Tourist tip: if you arrive at Como SG, the lake is a 15-minute downhill walk through the old centre — bring small luggage.
