BookaTaxiHow to book a taxi in Bellagio
Updated: July 14, 2026 · Province of CO
To book a taxi in Bellagio, call the radio taxi at 329 703 2702. Taxis don't stop on the street: you book them or catch one at a taxi rank.
Bellagio, nicknamed la Perla del Lago di Como for its unique position at the point where the lake's two southern branches meet, is one of Lombardy's most sought-after tourist destinations, with a largely pedestrian historic center made up of narrow alleys and steep staircases. For this very reason you won't find a taxi simply by walking down the street: it's best to book by phone or WhatsApp directly with one of the local taxi and NCC (private hire) operators, especially in summer and during weddings, when demand far outstrips supply. Bellagio has no single centralized radio-taxi dispatch like larger cities: several small independent companies operate here, each with its own direct number, and they are very active for transfers to the Milano and Bergamo airports, the railway stations, and other towns around the lake. A good reference point for anyone looking for a taxi in the center is the area around the imbarcadero (ferry landing), near Piazza Mazzini. The main Italian ride-hailing apps, from Uber to FreeNow, do not currently appear to operate in Bellagio: the phone therefore remains the most reliable way to book.

Apps to call a taxi in Bellagio
| Uber — The Bellagio page on the Uber website is a generic landing page created for SEO purposes: the Uber Black (NCC) service, the only one available in Italy, is actually operational in just seven cities (Milano, Roma, Torino, Bologna, Firenze, Catania, and Palermo), and Bellagio is not among them. | Not available |
| FreeNow — FreeNow does not list Como or Lago di Como among the cities it covers in Italy: the service remains focused on Milano, Roma, Torino, and a few other major cities, so it cannot currently be used to call a taxi in Bellagio. | Not available |
| itTaxi — itTaxi covers the city of Como and several towns along the lake shore, including Menaggio, Cernobbio, Tremezzina, and Argegno, but Bellagio does not appear on their official list of served towns: actual coverage in town is therefore not confirmed. | Not available |
| Wetaxi — Wetaxi is active in about twenty Italian cities, including Roma, Milano, Torino, and Napoli: Como and Bellagio are not among these areas, so the app cannot be used in town. | Not available |
| appTaxi — The official list of cities covered by appTaxi does not include any town in the province of Como, Bellagio included. | Not available |
| BTaxi — BTaxi is only active in a few cities such as Torino, Alessandria, Empoli, and Bologna: the province of Como, and therefore Bellagio, is not part of the service's current coverage. | Not available |
| InTaxi — The city of Como has confirmed InTaxi coverage through the local radio-taxi, but Bellagio only appears as a fixed-rate destination on the Lecco radio-taxi's price list (FS station-Bellagio route, 70 EUR), not as an active coverage area: the app therefore cannot currently be used to call a taxi directly in town. | Not available |
Taxi from the airport
Aeroporto di Bergamo Orio al Serio (Milan Bergamo Airport) (BGY) · ~65 km from the center
There is no single fixed rate for airport transfers from Bellagio: local operators apply their own rates depending on the distance (about 65 km to Bergamo-Orio al Serio, 75 km to Milano Linate, and 95 km to Milano Malpensa) and the flight schedule. Always ask for a quote when booking, ideally well in advance during high season.
Limited Traffic Zone (ZTL)
The historic center of Bellagio is a limited traffic zone (ZTL), governed by a dedicated municipal regulation: access is normally reserved for residents, authorized vehicles, and guests staying at an accommodation located within the ZTL, with camera-based enforcement on Via Garibaldi. Hours vary seasonally, with wider restricted periods in the spring and summer months: if a taxi or NCC needs to enter for a customer with luggage or reduced mobility, it's best to notify the operator in advance, who will know the correct procedure to follow with the local police (031 951110).
Practical tips
- Book your taxi well in advance, especially between May and September and for weddings: during the high tourist season and events at the Villa Melzi and Villa Serbelloni gardens, car availability drops quickly.
- The historic center is largely pedestrian, with steps and narrow alleys such as the famous Salita Serbelloni: taxis can often only drop you at the edge of the pedestrian area or the ZTL, so agree with the driver in advance on the meeting point closest to your hotel.
- For those arriving or leaving by ferry, the most convenient taxi reference point is the area around the imbarcadero (ferry landing), near Piazza Mazzini, in the heart of town.
- To reach Varenna, Menaggio, or other lakeside towns, also consider the Navigazione Laghi ferry: it is often faster and more scenic than a car transfer along the narrow, winding roads of the shore.
- Always ask for a price estimate when booking: since there is no municipal radio-taxi with a single fare schedule, each operator applies its own rates, especially for long routes to the airports.
