The queues for this was quite long by the time we got to Como, after about a 45 minute wait we do get in a pretty full up carriage. It cost around 6 euros each for a return trip. The trip up to the top is an experience but not as good as we expected as you can actually see very little unless you are at the front/bottom seats. Also the track has quite a lot of tall vegetation obscuring the parts we might have seen out over the Lake. Different clear views are available at the top and there are cafes and shops right at the top in the village. You can get transport to the lighthouse or take a 30 to 40 minute walk up some steep inclines to the steps that lead up to the lighthouse itself. We found that the queue for the funicular to come down was almost non-existent compared to the bottom. Maybe people decide to walk down, we had ferries to catch so couldn't really wait too long.

We're in the hottest and peak season. It was 40 degrees in early August. That's why I'm only giving you a B for huge lines and spirit. There are two funiculars, so it won't be long. Bring water and comfortable shoes. Upstairs from the funicular station, you have to walk, it took us about 40 minutes one way. Come to some vantage point with an old lighthouse in the park, viewpoint, car parking and cafe with restaurants and church. Here you can have dinner at sunset, if there is no haze, still the altitude is decent, then you can have good panoramas of Lake Como from top to bottom. It's important to get back to the funicular no later than 10.30 p.m. This is his last time. We did it. Price of return ticket 6.60 euros. The schedule is attached.

If you're in Como, a trip up the Brunate funicular railway is a must. The short trip to the top gives you amazing views of the town and lake. The queues can be really long but it is worth the wait. Make sure you factor in enough time to do this as there's only one cable cart that goes up and down. We went late afternoon to catch the evening sunset and the views were incredible. The journey takes about 15 minutes.

At a cost of € 6 per person (round trip) you can take the funicular from Como (the ticket is made on site at the ticket office) and get to Brunate, in no time. The route allows you to enjoy a breathtaking landscape and see Lake Como from above. Experience absolutely recommended!

Absolutely amazing ride on this funucleur car up to Brunate, which is a picturesque village top of the mountain with magnificent views of Lake Como. It took approx 10 minutes but felt much longer, which was actually enjoyable, smooth, and scenic. The restaurants at the top charge excessive prices for drinks but only to be expected. It opens daily. 6.am - 10.30 pm. It costs €6.00 for a return trip, good value for money to get terrific views.

A very convenient, and most important, fast way to get from Como to Brunata. The price of the ticket is also affordable, for an adult round-trip ticket costs 6.60. The climb takes about seven minutes. The alternative is the applied steps, it will take about an hour. The funicular runs smoothly every 15 minutes. Bonus, when you go up, there's a viewing platform for all of Como and the lake.

Queued for about 40 minutes, from memory I think it was about 6ish Euros, so very reasonably priced. Great views from the top, you can also wander off and explore more, such as the nearby church and I think there was a lighthouse as well. I went at the end of the day as I arrived from the UK, so didn't explore much (I knew the weather would be a problem for the rest of my stay!). There's a few shops at the top and cafes as well.

We took the funicular in the morning (11am) so there were not too many people. During the climb we have, at times, a beautiful view of Como. There are also a few degrees less compared to the lakeshore. Once arrived, take the direction of the pissarottino fountain, the signs announce 20min walk but it takes only 15 on a flat road. Although the fountain is tiny, one then has a beautiful view of the lake.

Funicular that starts from the lakefront of Como, to reach the village of Brunate. Too bad about the important row x climb. In 7/8 minutes, you climb to the summit at about 700 meters above sea level. Few personnel present, with masses of people on the vehicle. The beauty on top, it makes you forget the problems. About 6 euros x a round trip

Very easy to find the entrance to the Funicular,bought tickets right there. Waited for the 5 minutes and up we went. Excellent views of Lake Como and surrounding areas. A short walk to the top is a great place for drinks and a sunset dinner overlooking the lake. Plenty to do up there or just admire the views. 🇨🇮
