The next day was our long awaited day trip to Lake Como. Originally when we were doing our planning we threw around the idea of staying overnight. However, hotels are notoriously expensive and there’s an influx of tourists in the summer, making it difficult to line up for ferries.

The day after the concert was an extremely chill day. We had a 4-hour train ride to Milan and the only other thing that was planned were dinner reservations at La Gioia. After one last breakfast inside the common area at the Meininger, we were ready to checkout.

We got there right at the start of our tour time and did a self-guided visit, which came with an audio guide.
