Self Guided Walking Tour Roman Walls Duomo and Audio Quiz

Explore Como at your own pace with a self-guided audio walk that runs from the old town walls to the lakefront. Over about 2 km and roughly 1.5 hours, you will pass eight stops, including Porta Torre, the Duomo with its two statues of Pliny the Elder and Pliny the Younger, the Broletto, Piazza Cavour and the Tempio Voltiano. Short stories bring each place to life, and quizzes along the way keep the walk playful. There is no guide to follow and no app to download: open your Ciceru experience on your smartphone, start whenever suits you and pause for a coffee or a lakeside photo whenever you like. An internet connection is needed on your phone during the tour.
