Switzerland Travel | The unforgettable treasure city of Lugano.

Located in southern Switzerland Lugano, Switzerland, is an hour's drive from Milan Bathed in the Mediterranean sun☀️ With beautiful lakes, ancient streets, and vintage trains... On a city walk in Lugano Immerse yourself in the charming scenery And experience the peaceful and joyful life of the locals Looking at the photos is so beautiful🍃 🚶🏻‍♀️Lugano Travel Route Mount Brè—Swissminiatur—Lugano Old Town—Lugano Train Station ⛰️Mount Brè There are three ways to get to Mount Brè: hiking, bus, or cogwheel train. Walk from the hotel to funicular Monte Brè and take the cogwheel train🚞. The cogwheel train on Mount Brè has been in operation since 1912. The train is divided into two sections. In the morning sun, the train travels up the mountain, and the city and Lake Lugano become more and more open. Get off the train and walk up the steps. Under the blue sky, you can see the Alps, Lake Lugano, and even the Italian region between Milan and Turin. ⛲️Swissminiatur From Mount Brè, take the bus to Lugano Centro station, then take the boat to Melide, where Swissminiatur is located. This section🛳 is free with a Swiss Travel Pass! Snow-capped mountains, castles, churches, special buildings, railways, ships... You can find these sights in the park. There are also 18 model trains running between the miniature buildings, like a miniature Swiss kingdom. I also saw the model train production process up close, which can only be described as exquisite and meticulous❤️ 🚶🏻‍♀️Lugano Old Town The center of the old town is full of Italian style, with red and yellow buildings, Mediterranean-style squares, arcades, and relief-style flower windows... The center of the old town is Piazza della Riforma, with the main building being the town hall, and there are also restaurants and bars nearby. Gabbani on Via Pessina is a historic deli with local cheeses, exclusive deli meats, traditional desserts, and a variety of wines. You can walk along Nassa Street to the Church of Santa Maria degli Angioli. The exterior is not eye-catching, but the church has Renaissance frescoes by Leonardo da Vinci's disciple Luini. You can't miss Lugano Train Station, with its towering churches, layered red-roofed houses, distant mountains, and the faintly visible Lake Lugano, as well as the trams going up and down the mountain, which make up the postcard scenery of Lugano.

Old Town Lugano

Exploring Lugano’s lakeside vibes and hidden gems! 🌧️🌺 If you love a cozy city wrapped around a shimmering lake, Lugano delivers. From the charming Old Town and its mix of Western-style buildings (think wrought iron balconies with flowers) to lush parks and foodie spots in the city center, this Swiss town has style for days. Top Spots to Visit: 1. Old Town Lugano—Switzerland Stroll amid centuries-old architecture, bubbling fountains (look out for those gooseneck faucets spraying water and surrounded by flower bursts!), and cute alleyways. Lugano’s old quarter is open round the clock, and it’s still gorgeous even when cloudy or rainy. 2. Lugano Park Ideal for outdoor cultural landscapes, chill lakeside walks, and people-watching. The green areas pop with trees and red blossoms—bring a camera! 3. Gabbani, via Pessina 12 Foodie tip: For local eats with a Western twist, grab lunch at Gabbani (right in the city center). It’s a great spot to shelter from Lugano’s unpredictable weather and savor Swiss specialties. Local Insights & Tips: Rainy days are common—pack a compact umbrella. Lugano’s architecture keeps things Instagram-worthy whatever the weather. Use the lakeside park as your recharge spot Getting Around: Public transport here is super reliable, but the best way to soak up the scenery is just on foot. Lugano’s core is walkable—enjoy hidden picturesque corners. #LuganoVibes #SwissCityBreak #LakeLife #TravelTips #TripDotCom
