Lugano, Switzerland , is nestled along the northern shores of Lake Lugano, a glacial lake in the Italian-speaking region of Ticino. Its unique mix of Swiss and Mediterranean cultures lures travelers to this remote location. Visitors will want to explore the lake on one of several lake boat excursions or gaze at it from waterfront lidos and swimming pools. There is plenty to explore outdoors on land, too. From scenic drives and mountain bike trails to national parks and luxury golf courses, there is an outdoor activity for everyone. Swiss-Mediterranean culture is on display at Lugano Arte e Cultura, the Hermann Hesse Museum, the Swiss Customs Museum, and of course, in the food. Lugano Map
