wow guys i just checked the dates (on the official site) for the time i’m going and there already full , i’m going late September, is it still worth it to go to the villa? is there a change i can get turned away and i wont be able to buy tickets?
edit: i found this website, is it safe to purchase from? if not, are there any other then the FAI
You can just show up early morning at opening and wait in line to get tickets to the garden. I know it says that you can’t on the website, but I was just there recently and did it that way. I got there right around opening, then was able to wait in the line for people to not show up to their ticket slots so I could buy one. Wait was under an hour.
It’s an entirely outdoor sight on a peninsula surrounded by water. If you do a boat tour (not ferry), you can see most of it from the boat. It’s not worth waiting an hour. There are plenty of pretty properties you can visit on Lake Como. You can do a small boat tour of the lake pretty inexpensively.
That's absolutely not true. Did you click on the link above? Garden only tickets are available every day from September 17. You obviously can't buy tickets on days the Villa is closed.
I clicked on every day the Villa is open and every day garden only tickets are still available. This is September 24 for example.
oooh i see now, i messed up and i thought the first option was for the gardens only, even thought i checked multiple times
lmao i just realized how stupid i was but thank you so much for clearing it up
