While driving around Como, there are a couple of traffic rules you should take into consideration. For starters, driving is on the Right hand side of the road and littering is a gross offence fined heftily. Also, if you are a driver who wears corrective glasses, you should at all times have a spare pair in your car. This is probably so that you do not pose a danger to fellow road users. Also, remember that the maximum speed limit is 80mph and at all times have the two warning triangles in your car. This particularly comes in handy in case an accident happens but the law requires the triangle warning be on you 24-7.

Hop into your car rental and drive to San Fedele - a Romanesque church whose most notable feature is the famous Door of St. Fedele on which is carved beautiful medieval decorations. Lake Como, Europe’s deepest lake offers quite the view, enhanced by the villa gardens on its shores. Bounce rocks on the water’s surface, laze on the shores watching the water glisten in the sun or even take a boat ride to Bellagio.
