Accessible via a historic funicular that ascends 2,362 feet (720 meters) from the city of Como, the hilltop town of Brunate offers a breathtaking panorama over Lake Como, extending as far as the Swiss Alps. Nestled high above the lake, this charming town provides visitors with a bird’s-eye view of the surrounding landscape. For an even more elevated perspective, a trail leads to a 1920s lighthouse, where you can enjoy an even higher scenic perch and take in the expansive views.
