Lugano Travel Tips

While visiting Lugano, get inspired with our top local posts about the following;

Monte San Salvatore – Ride the funicular or hike up to the top of Monte San Salvatore for gorgeous 360° views of Lake Lugano and looking down to all the smaller villages surrounding the lake. The perfect place for Ticino views!

Lugano In Winter – Sharing what you can do during the winter period in Lugano, such as to join the Christmas festivities, visit a snow topped mountain nearby, shop in the local boutiques and more!

Monte Bre – With a short ride to the top by bus or funicular, Monte Bre is the perfect place for watching the sunset or enjoying a local wine at the restaurant.

The Village of Gandria – Arriving by boat is the best way to visit Gandria, a little village just around the corner of Lugano. The cobblestoned streets is a no driving zone, making it picturesque and peaceful for a stroll around. There are a few restaurants with lake view that’s well worth your time.

1 Day Self Guided Tour Around Lugano – After taking this route ourselves, we just had to share this perfect 1 day itinerary that you can do in Lugano during the Summer time. It involves exploring the city, followed by a trip up the mountain Monte San Salvatore before heading back down to a boat. With the boat its a short trip to Gandria before walking back to Lugano.

From 1st Feb we'll be watching these @lakelugano b From 1st Feb we'll be watching these @lakelugano boats sail around the lake every day, because... 😍
....Today we started moving house 🏡! 
Everything has been amazingly fast, from viewing the place only 18 days ago, signing the contract, and of course spending our recent evenings packing. 
We've had a great experience with a local broker too and will share a new expat blogpost soon about it all.
We will be staying in Lugano 🇨🇭, but closer to the city with a view of Lake Lugano. Very exciting! ❤️

We took this photo last weekend when we visited the @lichtfestivalluzern and city. It was at least -7°c when we headed back to the hotel for bed that night. Brrr! ❄️
We do love the city though, a pretty destination for a day trip with some great restaurants, shops and things to do. 🇨🇭
Dinner tip: Head to Pacifico for a delicious Mexican dinner 🌮

The Chateau-d'eox Hot Air Balloon Festival 2023 🎈🇨🇭
What a fun event to visit in the Vaud canton of Switzerland. You can see more than 50 hot air balloons, enjoy a helicopter flight (we did this!), eat and drink all the refreshments, watch the air show and visit the local exhibition. 
It's from 21st January to 29th January 2023 only, so make a visit this weekend coming else save for next year! 🎈🎉
