Introduction

Lake Lugano lies in Ticino in southern Switzerland, straddling the border with Italy. Ringed by mountains with blue water, it is a beautiful sight. Ticino is Switzerland's Italian-speaking region, and the lakeside city of Lugano has a relaxed, Mediterranean feel, with old-town lanes, open-air cafes and a lakefront promenade all pleasant to wander. A boat trip is a good way to enjoy the lake, taking in the mountain views and reaching villages such as Gandria on the shore. The mild climate has earned the area the name Swiss Riviera, ideal for slowly savouring lake and mountain scenery together with Italian flair. The lakeside walk is free; boat trips and other services charge separately.
