Just a few kilometres away from Lugano stands one of Ticino’s main
attractions: the castles of Bellinzona, today on UNESCO’s World Heritage List. Don’t miss the opportunity of going back in time, visiting
Ticino’s capital, where you’ll be able to admire the medieval architecture of the three castles of Bellinzona and the Sforza walls. For the
most curious of you, there’s the Saturday morning market in the city’s
historical centre that’ll give you a taste of the real Ticinese experience.
A small tour of the ancient walls, the enchanting porticos near the
lake, the sophisticated and refined atmosphere of Via Nassa is a great
start for those wishing to explore the town centre. The trip continues
with a boat ride on lovely lake Lugano and a visit to Swissminiatur, a

in just an hour. For fashion lovers, the trip continues at the large FoxTown Outlet in Mendrisio.
Shopping is just great in Milan, a real melting pot of different cultures.
The train, departing from Lugano, will conduct you to the very heart
of the Italian fashion district in little over than an hour; apart from indulging in shopping, you can also enjoy the charm and beauty of art
and culture. If you love art and the Bohemian style, don’t miss the
opportunity of visiting and enjoying the unique atmosphere of the art
galleries along the Navigli.
A fascinating excursion that allows you to appreciate the beauty of the
Malcantone hills on board of a boat, which will take you from Lugano to Caslano. The trip continues with a visit to the Fishing Museum,
where fans may enjoy a piece of Cantonal history and to the Chocolate
Museum, where you can learn all about the history and production of
chocolate, accompanied by a delicious smell of cocoa. This excursion
