Nearby Natale Celebrations and Excursions
Hilton Lake Como is perfectly placed for guests wishing to get a taste of a true Italian-style Christmas, being equidistant between the towns of Cernobbio and Como, both of which offer a range of spectacular seasonal celebrations!
In Cernobbio, just a 20-minute stroll from the hotel, guests can visit the traditional Città dei Balocci, a winter wonderland held inside the famous Villa Erba Park. There, the whole family can marvel in wonder at an interactive Christmas light and sound trail, an al-fresco ice rink, a Christmas Circus, toy train and Santa sleigh rides and handicraft markets.
Also just a 20-minute walk or 10-minute bike ride away, the Lake’s capital city, Como, will host the brand new Natale a Como Christmas festival.
