Which one to choose in Como
Basilica of San Fedele, Como vs Como Cathedral
Two churches in Como. Basilica of San Fedele, Como has no online ticket listed; Como Cathedral has no online ticket listed. The table and the two notes below put them side by side; the full pages have what to see, the ticket and the timing for each.
Como, Italy
San Fedele hides in the lanes a couple of minutes east of the cathedral of Como, on a small square that was the medieval corn market, and plenty of visitors walk past without noticing it. Entry is free. Guided walking tours of the old town usually include it precisely because it is the counterweight to the cathedral, since one building shows the late Gothic and Renaissance wealth of the silk city and the other shows what stood there four centuries earlier.

Como, Italy
Como's cathedral sits between the old town and the lakefront, a few minutes from the ferry landings and the funicular station, and it is free to enter. Guided walks of the town cover it with the Romanesque church a street away, the Roman grid and the rationalist buildings of the 1930s, and take about two hours. Most visitors arrive from Milan for the lake and give the town half an hour, which is a pity, because this cathedral is among the more interesting in Lombardy and takes forty minutes properly.
