Lugano

Lugano is almost like being in Italy, but with a fusion of Switzerland.

Lugano is one of Switzerland’s financial, banking, and business centers. But it is also a town of parks and flowers, villas and sacred buildings. With Mediterranean flair, Lugano offers all the advantages of a world-class city, combined with the cachet of a small town.

The historic town center is traffic free – allowing you to freely stroll and enjoy the squares and arcades, along with museums, galleries, stores, and wonderful restaurants. TripAdvisor recommends over 200 wonderful Italian and Pizza Restaurants in Lugano.

Echo Trails offers a delightful walking tour. An English speaking guide, Lugano native, will walk with you through the city, showcasing the parks with century old trees, churches, museums, architecture, and more.
