Magnificent cathedral, astonishing and awe-inspiring interior. Terrace and rooftop walk involved (naturally) a lot of stair climbing, but definitely worth it if you are fit enough.

We enjoyed the ride on the Bernina Express the most. Our guide knew a lot about high society and movie locations on Lake Como. Here, the historical context was a bit lacking. On the Bernina Express, he demonstrated a solid knowledge of the landscape. Whenever we asked questions, he always knew the answer. Overall, we would have liked to hear even more historical facts. He structured the day perfectly in terms of timing and logistics, so that we arrived everywhere on time and without any stress.
