Vanessa’s Art Rooftop is located in Piazza San Fedele, one of the most charming and historic squares in Como. Nestled within the ancient city walls, this pedestrian-only area offers a peaceful and safe environment, perfect for families with children who can wander freely among cobblestone streets and quiet corners.
Guests love the authentic atmosphere of the neighborhood. The square itself dates back to medieval times and was once a bustling grain market. Today, it’s surrounded by beautifully preserved buildings and home to the stunning Basilica di San Fedele, a Romanesque church built around the year 1120.
Just steps away, you’ll find the majestic Como Cathedral (Duomo), the Broletto (medieval town hall), and the lively Piazza Cavour by the lake. Art lovers can explore the nearby Roman Baths and Palazzo Giovio, while families can enjoy green spaces like Villa del Grumello Park or take a scenic ride on the Brunate funicular.
The area is also rich in cafés, wine bars, and restaurants. Whether you're looking for a quiet espresso or a delicious meal or a cocktail, there’s something for every taste. And for those who love shopping, the surrounding streets offer boutiques, artisan shops, and local markets.
Although the city center is pedestrian-only, there are numerous paid parking options, both covered and open-air, located just outside the city walls. All are within a short walking distance from Piazza San Fedele, making it easy and convenient for visitors arriving by car.
Piazza San Fedele is a place where history, culture, and everyday life come together, a perfect starting point to experience the soul of Como.
