Lugano is a city in the southeast of Switzerland, in the canton of Tecino. It is right on the border with Italy, and in fact the city is Italian-speaking and many of the customs and habits of the population are culturally Italian.
The city is set on the banks of Lake Lugano and is surrounded by lovely mountains, such as Brè, San Salvatore and Sighignola.
Lugano is one of Switzerland's financial and conference centres, and it has a very important business community. The warm climate gives the place a Mediterranean air, and Lugano offers all the advantages of a modern place with all the charm of a small city.
The old town, which is closed to traffic, houses a number of Lombard-style buildings, including the Cathedral of San Lorenzo. The interior contains a number of frescoes and some interesting Baroque furnishings. Here you can also visit some excellent museums and some lovely squares and parks. One of the finest is the Belvedere Garden.
Lugano, with its fantastic landscape, its mountains, hills, valleys and beautiful lake, is an enchanting location.
