Driving to Cernobbio is very easy and pleasant, either by fast highway or by scenic mountain roads. “Lago di Como” exit on the A9 motorway from Milan takes you easily to Cernobbio and Como.
Take authorized taxis only (the ones bearing a TAXI sign on top with a meter inside). They are usually white and have a taxi identification on the side (e.g., ROMA 33).

Most restaurants apply a cover charge (called “coperto”) which is about €2-3 per person. You may add a tip if you wish, however tipping is not required in Italy. Typical tipping is between 2-5% of the bill.
Most businesses accept major credit cards (Visa and Master Card, fewer accept American Express). However, it is recommended to bring some euros for your stay. You can find exchange offices at the airport or in the downtown areas. You can also use ATM (called “bancomat”) to withdraw from your credit card.
If you take prescription medicines be sure to bring enough for your stay in Italy. There are pharmacies open from Monday to Sunday. They are marked by green neon signs of the international cross symbol. There are also few 24-hour pharmacies in bigger cities.
