Lugano
3 things to see
Lugano is Switzerland’s Italian-speaking lakeside city, with a Mediterranean climate, free lakefront parks, and a more relaxed pace than the German-speaking cities. The waterfront promenade and gardens are free to enjoy, and the old town is free to wander on foot. It sits close to the Italian border, so Como and Milan are easy, cheaper-priced add-ons by train just to the south.
