Informations for the tourist

The tour of the island can be crossed by feet; we recommend using comfortable shoes suitable for a hiking trail.
The paths shown are generally easy even if it is necessary the use of suitable clothing. Although located near the lake, these paths have the characteristics of mountain trails and some parts are not protected. Because of the characteristics of the topography, in case of bad weather conditions, some sections of trails may be forbidden to transit for precaution. Always ask some information concerning the effective road condition.

There’s the possibility to ask at the ticket office on the Island or at the Antiquarium the map of the Comacina Island which gives the possibility to see all the routes and the main points of interest.

On the trail of the island there are explanatory panels to give the main information to the visitors, useful to describe in an accurately way all the archaeological sites, the church of San Giovanni Battista and the Houses of Artists.

The interior of the Church of St. John can be visited only with a guide.

The use of wheelchairs and/or strollers for children is only possible in certain sections of the island, also because of the presence of different stairs.
