If Lake Como is now one of the most glamorous places in the world, can we venture a comparison between the costs of a weekend (or rather, less) on the Lario with those of one in London? He did it, telling it to the widely read British newspaper Metro, Dagmara Kedzierska, 30 year old from Manchester. Calculator in hand, she calculated that she had spent for a day on the banks of the Lario A little bit more than 180 pounds. That is, according to her calculations, less than one would have cost her day trip from Manchesterwhere does he live, to the closest one London.
The 30-year-old has in fact decided to spend her day off from work between Milan and the Lecco bank of the LComo needle, rather than travel the 262 kilometers that separate his city from London. According to him, only the Manchester-London train it would have cost her £100, double what he actually paid to fly to Orio al Serio. In the article, which is causing a lot of discussion in England due to the denunciation of the high prices, Dagmara lists the amounts spent on the Lario: 6 pounds for the train to Varenna, the pizza, the spritz, the love walk, the shots in the characteristic village, another eight pounds to reach Milan and visit the Duomo, finally the shuttle to Malpensa (11 pounds) from where it left again. In all, 14 hours on the lake for less than £200, including flights, transportation, food and drinks. To go from Manchester to London, according to his calculations, he would have had to pay 250.
“Going abroad, even just for a day, makes me feel like I’m on holiday,” the 30-year-old explained to the tabloid, who is no stranger to these quick trips, especially to the Lario, one of the favorite destinations for foreign tourists. Even just for a day.
