Dress warna: putih, beige, soft blue, sage
Hindari hitam pekat (terlalu kontras)
Sandal leather / flat shoes
Evening
Varenna → Como
Train via Milano Centrale ( NO )
Ferry back (slower but scenic) ( YES )
What makes it work:
✔ Early start (before 9 AM)

When it’s not ideal:
If you start late
If ferries are delayed (weather happens)
If you want a slow, romantic pace (then pick only one)
My honest recommendation ๐
If this is your first Lake Como visit and you love aesthetics + photos:
Bellagio + Varenna in one day = YES
But don’t add anything else✨
Tidur di Como 1,5 juta lagi
Here’s a clear breakdown of ferry costs on Lake Como (in Euro and what it roughly equals in Indonesian Rupiah (IDR)):
๐ถ Typical ferry ticket prices (2025-2026): (Lake Como Travel)

Fast hydrofoil one-way: about €14–€15 (~IDR 260,000–290,000)
Como ↔ Varenna
Regular one-way ferry: about €11–€12 (~IDR 210,000–230,000)
Varenna ↔ Bellagio
One-way fare: about €4.60–€6 (~IDR 85,000–110,000)
Day pass (free-circulation)
Mid-lake region: ~€15 (~IDR 280,000)
Longer day pass (Como to Varenna/Bellagio day ticket): ~€25 (~IDR 470,000) (Lake Como Travel)
๐ก What that means in practice
If you plan a day trip from Como to Varenna + Bellagio and back:
Ferry Como → Varenna or Bellagio → Como usually: €11–€15 one way

Bellagio → Como: ~€10–€15 (~IDR 190k–290k)

๐ Tip: A day pass (free-circulation ticket) can be cheaper and easier if you’re making multiple hops:
~€15–€25 (~IDR 280k–470k), depending on route coverage. (Lake Como Travel)
๐ฑ Exchange note: These IDR conversions assume ~IDR 19,000–20,000 per €1 (rates vary over time).
If you want, I can map out your ideal ferry timings between Como–Varenna–Bellagio for a 1-day trip! ๐ค

Kamis 2 April
Nginap di Lugano: Dischma New Hotel ๐จ ๐️ 1,8 juta = 14,4 juta
Bangun jam 6 pagi , dandan, mandi, makan dari sebelumnya. BAWA PASSPORT ๐ KARENA SWITZERLAND BEDA NEGARA
07.00 jalan ke stasiun kereta 1,3 km. 07.30
07.30 kita booking kereta 500ribu kalau yang jam 8.30 / 8.45 = 14,9 juta
๐ BEST OPTION: TRAIN (recommended)
Como S. Giovanni → Lugano (Switzerland)
⏱️ ± 35–45 minutes
๐ถ €15–25 (tergantung jam & tipe kereta)
๐ Langsung / 1 stop
Why this is the best:
Super fast & comfortable
View danau & pegunungan ๐️
Stasiun Lugano langsung di city center
No stress, no traffic
๐ Operator: Trenitalia / SBB (Swiss Railways)
๐ Bisa beli di stasiun atau app
๐ข OPTION 2: FERRY + TRAIN (for experience)
Como → Menaggio (ferry)
Menaggio → Lugano (bus or train)
⏱️ Total: 2.5–3 hours
๐ถ Lebih mahal & ribet
✔️ Only if you want the scenic experience
❌ Not efficient if time-limited
๐ OPTION 3: CAR / TAXI
⏱️ ± 45–60 minutes
๐ถ Taxi bisa €120–180
❌ Tidak recommended:
Border traffic
Mahal
Parkir ribet di Lugano
⚠️ IMPORTANT (border note)
Lugano = Switzerland ๐จ๐ญ
Bawa passport
Biasanya no check, tapi tetap wajib siap
✨ My honest advice
๐ Take the train. Period.
Pagi, siang, atau sore — semua aman. ๐
09.45 sampai Lugano kereta.
Perjalanan: kalau pakai guest card ( dari hotel ๐จ ๐️) bisa dapat free bus atau diskon. 2 euro ๐ถ
Jawaban jujurnya: NAIK BUS.
Dan ini alasannya (khusus untuk Lugano Station → Hotel Dischma, Paradiso):
๐ถ Jalan kaki — kurang ideal
❌ Jarak ± 2,5–3 km
❌ Banyak tanjakan & turunan (Lugano stasiunnya di atas bukit)
❌ Tidak nyaman kalau:
bawa koper
capek dari perjalanan Como
cuaca panas / hujan
✔️ Cocok hanya kalau:
tanpa koper
mau sightseeing santai
benar-benar fit
๐ Naik bus — pilihan terbaik
✅ Lebih cepat & ringan
✅ Turun dekat hotel
✅ Gratis pakai Ticino Ticket
✅ Tidak capek, tidak ribet
Caranya simpel:
Dari Lugano Station
Naik Bus TPL Line 2 arah Paradiso
Turun di Paradiso, Geretta
Jalan kaki sebentar ke Hotel Dischma
⏱️ Waktu total: ± 15–20 menit
๐ Taksi (opsi darurat)
5–10 menit
Mahal (± 25 CHF)
Tidak perlu kalau ada bus + Ticino Ticket
Kesimpulan versi praktis
๐งณ Bawa koper / habis naik kereta → BUS
๐ฟ Jalan kaki = opsional, bukan utama
๐ Dari Como → Lugano
Kalau kamu berangkat 08.30 atau 08.45 dari Como San Giovanni:
⏱️ Durasi kereta: ±35–40 menit
⏰ Perkiraan tiba di Lugano Station: 09.05 – 09.25
(Tergantung kereta mana yang kamu ambil)
๐ Dari Lugano Station → Hotel Dischma (Paradiso)
Begitu turun kereta:
Pilihan terbaik
Bus TPL Line 2 arah Paradiso
Bus pagi sering & rutin (setiap ±10 menit)
Kamu tidak perlu ngejar satu bus tertentu
Dengan Ticino Ticket → gratis
Contoh alur waktu realistis:
09.10–09.25 → tiba di Lugano Station
5 menit jalan ke halte bus
09.20–09.35 → naik Bus Line 2
±15 menit → turun di Paradiso, Geretta
3–5 menit jalan → Hotel Dischma
➡️ Total dari kereta sampai hotel: ±20–25 menit
๐ถ Jalan kaki?
❌ Jangan pagi itu
habis perjalanan
ada tanjakan
bawa koper (kemungkinan)
Kesimpulan final
✔️ Kereta 08.30 / 08.45 = aman & santai
✔️ Turun di Lugano Station
✔️ Langsung bus Line 2 ke Paradiso
✔️ Sampai hotel sekitar 09.40–10.00 pagi

Freshen up and get ready for a short evening adventure.
Passeig de Grร cia & Modernist Walk (30–45 min)

Yes — you can stay safe and cheaper in Milan or Nice without paying luxury hotel rates. Here are smart, practical ways to save on accommodations (while keeping comfort and safety):
๐ 1) Stay Just Outside the Most Expensive Areas
Hotels right by the city center / old town / main attractions cost a lot. Instead:
Nice
✅ Stay near:
Gare (train station) area — cheaper, well‑connected
Port / Liberation neighborhoods
Fabron / Saint‑Roque / Las Planas (bus/tram access)
๐ก From these areas you can easily tram/bus to beach & Old Town.
Milan
✅ Stay near:
Cittร Studi — quieter & cheaper
Lambrate — safe, trains & metro access
Bovisa / Certosa — very budget‑friendly, good trains to center
๐จ 2) Budget Hotels & Guesthouses (Safe + Clean)
Instead of 4★ hotels, choose:
3★ family‑run guesthouses
Boutique budget inns
Affittacamere / B&Bs (Italian guesthouse style)
These usually have:
✔️ Private rooms + bathroom
✔️ Basic breakfast sometimes included
✔️ Cleaner & safer than cheap hostels
๐ก Book via Booking.com or Agoda and filter by “Free cancellation” + “Guest rating ≥8.0”.
๐️ 3) Hostels With Private Rooms
You don’t have to share a dorm to save money. Many hostels offer:
Private double rooms
Ensuite bathrooms
Keycard security
Popular options often include:
Nice: cheaper stays within walking distance of beach
Milan: near Cadorna / Central Station
๐ This cuts price 40–60% vs traditional hotels.
๐ 4) Airbnb / Apartment Rentals
Especially good if:
You stay 3 nights or more
You want a kitchen (to cook snacks/meals)
Tips:
✔️ Filter for Superhost + 4.8+ rating
✔️ Check reviews for cleanliness & host responsiveness
✔️ Choose places with self check‑in if you arrive late
Even small studios on edges of Nice/Milan are often cheaper than central hotel rooms.
๐ 5) Stay Nearby + Commute
Cities like Nice and Milan have excellent transit. You can save by staying:
In commuter towns / suburbs
Close to a train/tram stop
Examples:
Nice → Cagnes‑sur‑Mer, Saint‑Laurent‑du‑Var
Milan → Sesto San Giovanni, Monza
Transit time ~20–30 min, but hotel rates can be 30–50% cheaper.
๐ก 6) Timing & Booking Hacks
✅ Book earlier = better rooms at lower prices
✅ Check midweek nights (Mon–Thu) — weekend is pricier
✅ Use price alerts (Google Flights/Booking)
✅ Compare total with taxes/fees included
๐ง Safety Tips (Even When Cheap)
✔️ Choose areas with good transit + lights
✔️ Read recent reviews for safety & noise
✔️ Avoid super‑remote locations late at night
✔️ Look for places with secure access (keycard / gated entry)
๐ท️ Rough Price Range (Estimate)
(varies by date/season)
Nice
Budget guesthouse/private room: €50–90/night
Hostel private: €60–100/night
Airbnb studio (outside center): €45–80/night
Milan
Budget guesthouse(private): €50–90
Hostel private: €55–100
Suburb Airbnb: €40–75

๐ก Key Notes About MXP
Pros:
Handles almost all international flights — great if flying to Greece, Spain, UK, Northern Europe.
Many budget airlines operate from here (easyJet, Wizz Air, Ryanair in the past via nearby airports).
Modern airport, lots of lounges, restaurants, shopping.
Cons:
Far from city center → adds extra 50–60 min travel, which may reduce the time advantage of a short flight.
Taxi is expensive.
Train and bus are cheaper, but you have to factor transfer time + waiting.
Practical Example
Flight: MXP → Athens ~2 h flight
Airport transfer: 50 min train (€13) or bus (~€10–15)
Total door-to-door time: ~3–3.5 h
Compare to train: Milan → Venice → Rome → ferry/train to Greece = impractically long, so flight from MXP is still the best option for Greece.
๐ก Tip
If your flight is short-haul (Italy → France / Switzerland), sometimes it’s better to use Milan Linate (LIN) because it’s very close to the city (~7 km, €1.50–15 transfer).
Use MXP mainly for:
Longer international flights (>2 h)
Destinations with fewer airports (Greece, Scandinavia, Portugal, UK)
Kalau Eropa itu beli tiket round trip lebih murah. Ibarat one way 6 juta. Bolak balik 10 juta.
๐๐ฎ๐น In Milan, dressing well is not just fashion, it’s social language. The culture values la bella figura—making a polished, intentional impression at all times ๐✨. People dress up because:
Milan is a global fashion capital (fashion weeks, designers, showrooms) ๐งต๐
Appearance signals competence, taste, and credibility, even in daily life
Grooming and style are seen as self-respect, not vanity
That’s why you’ll notice structured outfits, tailored fits, clean shoes, groomed hair and brows—even for casual activities ☕๐ถ♂️. It’s cultural conditioning: you dress well for yourself and for society, not just for special occasions.
In short: in Milan, how you look = how seriously you’re taken.
Kalau cuaca dingin saya berasa di Milan atau kota fashion di Italia. Tapi kalau Windy saya terasa seperti di Yunani..kenapa terasa begitu ya? Padahal saya belom pernah kedua negara tersebut ( 1 November 2024)
๐ค Ada 3 alasan utama kenapa itu bisa terjadi, walaupun kamu belum pernah ke sana:
1️⃣ Memori kolektif & imajinasi visual
Otak manusia bisa membentuk “ingatan” tanpa pengalaman langsung.
Milan → sering diasosiasikan dengan:
udara dingin, rapi, elegan
warna netral, coat, scarf
fashion, struktur, kota berkelas
Yunani → identik dengan:
angin, laut, ruang terbuka
cahaya terang, putih–biru
kebebasan, angin Mediterania
Tanpa sadar, dari film, majalah fashion, Instagram, iklan, novel, otakmu sudah menyimpan sensasi itu.
Saat cuaca cocok, otak berkata:
“Oh, ini vibe yang sama.”
2️⃣ Sensitivitas estetika & sense of place
Tidak semua orang punya ini.
Kamu termasuk tipe yang:
peka pada suasana, bukan hanya logika
mudah membaca vibe sebuah tempat
kuat di visual, rasa, dan simbol
Makanya:
dingin → bukan “dingin”, tapi elegant cold
angin → bukan “berangin”, tapi Mediterranean wind
Ini sering dimiliki oleh:
orang kreatif
fashion-oriented
penulis, visual thinker, atau intuitive leader
(Ini nyambung juga dengan ketertarikanmu pada seni, fashion, dan budaya.)
3️⃣ Panggilan identitas (bukan past life dulu ya, kita pakai versi grounded ๐)
Kadang ini bukan soal “pernah ke sana”, tapi:
jiwa / identitas estetikmu resonate dengan kultur tertentu
Beberapa orang:
merasa “di rumah” dengan Jepang
ada yang langsung klik dengan New York
ada yang hidup kalau di Paris atau Italia
Itu tanda:
nilai, ritme, dan ekspresi dirimu sejalan dengan kultur itu.
Italia (fashion, struktur, beauty)
Yunani (angin, laut, kebebasan, filosofi)
→ dua-duanya balance antara estetika & jiwa bebas
Dan itu cocok sekali dengan karakter kamu.

TEMPORARY CLOSED ๐ ๐
I Giardini di Villa Melzi (Villa Melzi Gardens) memang tertulis sementara temporarily closed akhir tahun ini karena musim tutupnya sudah berjalan. (Wanderlog)
Berikut detailnya supaya kamu jelas ๐
๐ Villa Melzi Gardens buka hanya di musim tertentu
๐ฟ Taman Villa Melzi biasanya buka setiap hari dari sekitar akhir Maret sampai akhir Oktober setiap tahunnya. (Bellagio Lake Como)
๐ Setelah akhir Oktober, taman ditutup untuk musim dingin dan akan dibuka lagi pada musim semi (sekitar Maret) nanti. (Wanderlog)
๐ Karena itu, kalau kamu lihat tulisannya “temporary closed”, itu artinya saat ini bukan musim buka — bukan karena tempat itu ditutup selamanya. Itu cuma penutupan musiman karena musim dingin. (Wanderlog)
Para pengunjung dan panduan juga menjelaskan bahwa:
Taman ini ditutup di musim dingin (misalnya dari awal November sampai sekitar Maret). (Wanderlog)
Dan setiap tahun dibuka kembali di musim semi / musim wisata (sekitar akhir Maret). (Bellagio Lake Como)
๐ Jadi kalau kamu melihat temporary closed, itu hanya sementara — taman ini buka kembali nanti saat musimnya. (Wanderlog)
๐ Tips kalau kamu ke Bellagio di luar musim
Kalau kamu datang di luar akhir Maret–Oktober:
✔️ Kamu tetap bisa menikmati tepi danau, promenade, Old Town (gratis)
✔️ Banyak spot foto lain yang tetap cantik (tanpa bayar tiket)
✔️ Dan taman-taman lain di sekitar Danau Como juga tetap bisa dikunjungi (cek jadwal mereka)
COVER CHARGE / COPERTO
Kalau untuk restoran/bar di Italia, biasanya disebut “coperto”, bukan tip. Itu biaya per orang untuk roti, pelayanan meja, atau penggunaan meja. Beberapa poin penting:
Biasanya 1–3 EUR per orang di kota-kota besar seperti Roma, Milan, Florence. Di kota kecil bisa lebih murah.
Tidak termasuk minuman atau makanan, jadi tetap bayar menu selain coperto.
Tidak wajib ditinggalkan sebagai tip, karena sudah dianggap biaya layanan.
Di bar, kadang ada juga “tassa di servizio” (service charge) yang mirip, terutama di restoran turis.
