Lugano
Close enough to Italy to have a certain Mediterranean flair, but still quintessentially Swiss, Lugano is an eclectic destination that has a lot to offer its visitors – whether they are seeking peace and relaxation, adrenaline and thrills, delectable food or refined culture. Surrounded by beautiful nature, Lugano offers the best of both worlds: the slow pace of a holiday destination and the services of a lively town.
Lugano is a city in southern Switzerland’s Italian-speaking Ticino region. Its Swiss-Mediterranean mix of cultures is closely related to that of Italy’s northern Lombardy region. This mix is reflected in its architecture and cuisine. The city stands on the northern shore of glacial Lake Lugano, sur-rounded by mountains.
