Transfert en voiture privée de Lyon à Bellagio

With a private transfer, you can look forward to door-to-door service directly from your accommodation in Lyon to your accommodation in Bellagio, all with a friendly English-speaking driver who can provide a few local pointers along the way.

The town offers rich cultural connections to Italy’s history, evident in the many churches, art galleries, and museums you can explore here. The architecture of Bellagio fits seamlessly into the natural beauty of the surrounding mountains and lake, allowing for incredible views and many opportunities for outdoor terrace dining with a stunning backdrop of Lake Como.

Bellagio boasts a range of local shops, selling handmade wooden housewares, finely crafted silk goods, and fresh regional groceries. The town offers world-class dining and wine tasting at many of the hidden spots set into the various Salitas, making it well worth a visit for any foodies’ trip to Italy.

A private transfer ensures your stress-free, safe arrival into this magical town, and means you can spend more time exploring.

Make sure to pack good walking shoes, and keep in mind that large rolling suitcases might be more difficult to navigate easily than smaller bags. There is only one route between the Via Garibaldi and the lower level of Bellagio that doesn’t involve stairs, and it still requires navigating quite an incline.

Sightsee along the way

As you leave France and enter Italy, it is certainly worth stopping to see smaller towns and historical sites you might have otherwise overlooked. For instance, consider Chambery, a tucked-away Medieval alpine city with world-class museums and art galleries displaying art from Renaissance masters. Or stop by Chartreuse Cellars to learn about the iconic herbal liqueur (and grab a bottle or two for your trip).

Bus from Lyon to Bellagio

As with the trains, there is not a direct bus route from Lyon to Bellagio. The average trip time is 8.5 hours and will require you to transfer 5 times, usually at these stations: Torino Bus station in Turin, Porta Susa Sud in Turin, Milan Centrale, Como S. Giovanni, and finally Como Piazza Cavour before your final journey to Bellagio Lido. This may be the cheapest option with tickets at $44-82, but the journey is complicated and can be a real hassle with luggage in tow.

Private driver from Lyon to Bellagio

The most straightforward option for your trip from Lyon to Bellagio is to choose a private car transfer with Daytrip. Driving offers you speed that the other options can’t, getting you to Bellagio in about 5 hours. And you’ll have the benefit of direct door-to-door service and assistance with your luggage on both ends of the journey (this certainly beats lugging it off and on 5 different buses, for instance).

Plus, you can enrich your experience by talking with your English-speaking driver about local culture or even stopping for sightseeing! This service starts at $206 per rider, so it can actually be cheaper than the train!

Ferry from Lyon to Bellagio

If you absolutely must take a ferry, it is possible, but not from Lyon directly. First, you have to get from Lyon to Milan before catching a train to Saronno. From there, you will transfer to a second train bound for Como Lago. Here, you can walk to the ferry terminal for a 40-minute ride to the port in Bellagio. The journey time will be at least 9 hours and is not cheap, you can expect it to cost anywhere from $83-324 depending on bus and ferry availability. Save your money for a nice boat ride once you get to Bellagio.

Lungolago Europa

This iconic walkway along the waterfront is known for its abundance of flowerbeds, creating a romantic atmosphere for those lucky enough to visit in the spring and summer months. This area is rather scenic all year round, offering views across the lake of colorful autumn foliage as well as festive lights in the winter months. The area is also dotted with souvenir shops and restaurants for quick bites such as pizzas and gelato.

Punta Spartivento

The Punta Spartivento is an observation deck extending over Lake Como on the very tip of Bellagio’s peninsula, offering uninterrupted views across the lake to the distant peaks and ridges of the surrounding Swiss Alps.

Boat or kayak tours on Lake Como

Since you're probably coming to Bellagio because it sits on Lake Como, it is a great idea to explore this magnificent region of Italy by boat on either a guided kayak tour or a short cruise around the lake. This lets you view all of the magnificent cliffside towns and villages and get a better sense of the sheer scale of Lake Como.
