About Brunate
Perched above Lake Como, Brunate has drawn writers, architects and curious travellers since the Belle Époque, and its funicular, Liberty villas and far-reaching views make it a natural starting point for history and culture experiences. A good introduction is the Como: Guided Walking Tour of Lake Como & Brunate with Panoramic Views, which links the lakeside city with the hilltop village, while the Como & Brunate: Private Walking Tour with Funicular Ride adds the historic railway ascent and a more personal look at the area's past.

Frequently asked questions
Brunate's story is tied to its funicular, opened in 1894, and to the Liberty-style villas built when the village became a fashionable hilltop retreat above Como. History and culture experiences here focus on that architectural heritage, the funicular itself and the viewpoints that made Brunate famous, rather than on conventional city sightseeing.
