Beneath the Swiss Alps, this Italian-speaking city wraps around a glittering lake with Mediterranean flair. Sip espresso at lakeside cafés where palm trees make you question your geography. The funicular up Monte Brè rewards with panoramic views that explain why artists have flocked here for centuries. LAC Lugano Arte e Cultura showcases impressive exhibitions in a striking modern building along the waterfront. Wander the old town's narrow lanes to Piazza della Riforma, where locals gather at outdoor tables regardless of season. Villa Ciani's elegant gardens provide perfect picnic spots with lake views. For the full experience, take a boat across Lake Lugano's blue waters, then return for aperitivo hour when the promenade fills with stylish locals enjoying the golden light.

Lugano Center GuestHouse

Lugano Center GuestHouse

10/10 Excellent
"The guesthouse is a beautiful old building and the staff person was kind and helpful. A guaranteed parking spot was $30. Street parking was sparce but also highly time constricted. The only funny thing is that the rooms are sparcly accessorize (lights, tables) by the cheapest light plastic furniture which kept tipping over. Otherwise the location is convenient."

Highly recommend- especially for the location! Tips - Use the funicular to/from the train station. Be careful in the shower — awkward size."
