Review & FAQ:
The historic city of Bellinzona lies in the Ticino region of southern Switzerland, close to beautiful Lake Lugano. You may think you have crossed the border into Italy when you visit as everyone speaks Italian here and the marvelous food is strongly influenced by the neighboring country. Bellinzona is primarily famous for its three medieval castles and is surrounded by very beautiful countryside, which offers great hiking and mountain biking opportunities. To get a great overview of the surrounding Alpine peaks and stunning lakes, you can take a ride in one of two different types of gondola. For foodies the city offers a wonderful morning market and you should plan to include a visit to the Museum of Chocolate.
