Lugano is a Swiss town
with an Italian flavor. The Italian influence is evident in the
city's cafes, sunny piazzas, cobblestone streets, and arcades. It's
a city designed for walking. You can wander at leisure, exploring
its historic old streets.
Lugano is built along the shore of Lake Lugano, which the Italians
call Lake Ceresio. The peaks of San Salvatore and Monte Brè loom on
opposite sides of town. The low mountains protect it from cold
alpine winds, and the climate is ideal from March to November. As
the cultural center of the Ticino, Lugano has attracted many artists
and casual visitors. |
