Hehehhe I know the feeling on this one. Lake Como is way more about private houses and people just taking trips from their house and also all rich and famous live there. But the cities itself, nehhh not so big indeed. Lecco is the bigger one and has a trainstation even in there right?
I guess if you want more city life then Lago Maggiore (with a Swiss and an Italian side) and Lago Lugano with Lugano as a hang out city might be better (Lugano with a crap load of expensive cars there always) but either way on all of these lakes...the cities are not really all that if you really want to go sightseeing
Hopefully you did enjoy the surroundings and the sight of it because the mountains there with the lake are beautiful!
