Lugano, Switzerland skyline: the 31 most iconic buildings and best views in Lugano

One of my favourite place. The view was breathtaking from the top. We took the funicular and changed in another funicular to the peak. We got charged cfh50 for 1 adult and 3 kids for return and chf47 for one way with ticino tickets discount which i think is not right. We decided to walked all the way down. Not recommended with young children.

Must visit here. Trek will take at least 2 hours. Or use the funicular. Runs every 30 mins. I saw some children and parents climbing the trek. They did well.

Monte San Salvatore is an absolute must-do if you're in the Lugano area. I went up on a day when the weather wasn't ideal, so the visibility wasn't perfect, but the experience was still incredible. The funicular ride up is a treat in itself, offering some great views on the way. Once you get to the top, it's easy to see why this spot is so famous. The panoramic view is simply stunning. Even with bad visibility, you get a beautiful perspective of Lugano, the sparkling lake, and the surrounding mountains. The feeling of being up there, with that vast landscape stretched out before you, is truly special, it's incredibly peaceful and awe-inspiring. I could have spent hours just soaking it all in. There are also a couple of restaurants at the top, and a short walk to a church that's worth checking out. If you're looking for a relatively easy trip with a massive payoff in terms of scenery and a feeling of pure tranquility, this is the place. I highly recommend it.

We wanted to see the famous San Salvatore and we loved the amazing view. It is breathtaking. Especially that the weather was amazing. Yet, we found the funicular too expensive. Once you are up, we can take a picnic and seat there to enjoy the view or you can eat at the restaurant. If you like to hike, then I would recommend to walk all the way down (2h approx).

Worth visiting, funicular is going up every 30 minutes and it's 50% with the Swiss Travel Pass or some other discount tickets. You can also hike all the way up, it is approximately 2 hours of hiking. Lovely view of the lakes and the region, Lugano is also worth exploring especially during summer.

In order to get here you need to reach Paradiso Stazione and then take the funicular, the ticket for which is 32 CHF return (Ticino cards offer discounts). The funicular is every 30 minutes. The view to Monte San Salvatore is absolutely stunning and what I like the best is that the place is accessible for elderly people who have difficulties walking. Before getting here you may want to check any of the web cams available online to see if weather is suitable. When you get off at the upper station of the funicular the distance you need to walk to the main viewing platform is not more than 5-10 min. There is a cafe there. From there you can do a short trek (20 min. the most) and you can reach a church. Climb the stairs and you will have a magnificent view.

Amazing views. Fun hike down to Melide. (Proper hiking shoes necessary, poles can be useful.)

Lake Lugano is a very scenic place for a day trip. It is located near the border of Italy and Switzerland. Hence, the architecture there are so Italian and even the locals, they speak Italian. Very special!

Absolutely amazing lake. Even better when walking with the sun. A must seen.

A beautiful lake surrounded by mammoth green mountains and delivering a perfect blue and green view with some white snow capped mountains at the back. Quaint & fabulous environment with great view and some amazing coffee and ice cream parlours and cafes. One of the highlights of our Swiss visit.

Most beautiful lake and gorgeous mountain views. Highly recommend visiting if in Lugano. There is a pier you can walk through with boats for renting, delicious gelato, or benches for enjoying the view.

Just stunning! Feels posh, wasn’t too bad with regards to the crowds at the lake! Loved it 💜

Very nice and a lot of restaurants with many choices. Highly recommended

One if my favorite spots I love it there its a bit quite but so nice 🌷✨

Parco Ciani is a delight to visit anytime of the year but particularly during the blossoming summer and spring months with all the colorful flowers and clear refreshing lugano lake that looks like a scene out of a fairy tale dream. The place is family friendly, yet very romantic and has all the amenities visitors might need from free public toilets which are clean and usable, to gelato and coffee sellers during good weather ... its a place to relax and unwind at the very heart of the beautiful city of lugano overlooking its majestic lake.

So beautiful and colourful! You can spencer the whole day there! Mountains, łąkę, flowers, palm trees in the park. Places where you can sit and just admire what is around you! At the beginning of July the water in the łąkę was very warm🙂

I really enjoyed visiting the park, it was a wonderful experience. The atmosphere was calm and welcoming, making it the perfect place to relax. I would definitely recommend it to anyone looking for a peaceful spot to spend some time.

Lovely park, magnificent scenery right on the beautiful lake with plenty of flowers. Don’t miss while in Lugano.

Absolutely beautiful park with views towards Lugano lake. You can rest on a bench and admire the nature. The park is well maintained with flowers and green grass. Ducks are wandering. No entrance fee. Close to the park entrance is a gate where lots of people stop and take pictures. Beware of homeless people - we had interaction with one asking for money but he was not dangerous.

Nice park with a beautiful view. We visited during a city festival, so there were a lot of little events happening at the same time across the whole park and the rest of the city. Really cool experience overall.

If you're planning a trip to Lugano, this is the perfect place. Spectacular views, beautiful flowers, and well-maintained parks. If the weather is warm, you can swim and have a wonderful time.

This is worth a visit. The kids liked it. It's not big, but it's great for 1-3 hours. It has a food station and nice cool-down water mist everywhere, as it can get hot without the shade. I expected a bit more due to the rating, but I'd still recommend it if you haven't been. There is also a small train that kids loved and an arcade where you can play all kinds of games. Also bring your swimsuits for after, Melide is beautiful and has a Lifo next to it, ot even walking 10 more minutes, an almost private strand we enjoyed and swam afterwards.

Swissminiatur is a must-visit—especially for families and travelers like me who are interested in learning more about Swiss history and culture. The place is very well-curated and organized, with plenty of infographics available in English. There’s so much to see that we actually lost track of which areas we’d already visited, but it’s easy to find your way around with the map. They truly did an amazing job creating this miniature version of Switzerland! It inspired us to visit and discover more of the country’s cantons in the future. Just to add, there’s also a café, restaurant, and ice cream shop inside. The staff are very kind and accommodating too, which made the visit even better. We went on a weekday, and since it was a rainy day, there weren’t many people around. It actually made the visit even more relaxing. We got to explore at our own pace and take photos without the crowd.

Great fun. We spent almost 90 minutes walking round here to see everything it has to offer. Lots of models of places of interest in Switzerland, with trains running throughout the whole display. Make sure you hang around the bobsleigh model for a few minutes to see it in action.

Great park to visit with your children, with the condition to not be in a rainy day as everything is outside. They have a snack and a small shop inside. Very close to the train station. You can get a discount with the Ticino ticket provided by your hotel, plus with this Ticino ticket you get free train trips so no need to take the car.

Not to miss if you go to Ticino! Been there as a kid and now with my kids. Amazing replicas of Swiss landmarks, a great way for discovering next trip ideas and spend an afternoon wondering in a beautiful place learning about Switzerland and appreciating the work of passionate craftsmenship.

This place is verry impressive. Working model trains and working cable cars. amazing details on the models so many famous Swiss landmarks.

What a beautiful spot Who ever thought about this place he is a legend Very organized opened museum The staff was very friendly and kind Highly recommended

Peaceful place....no English no euro

If you enjoy his story or his writing, you will enjoy this experience.

Small but very interesting. They also have live events, like reading, ...

Beautiful museum! Recommended for everyone who likes Hesses literature.

Well while it's amazing to visit the place where some of the best literature ever written was born, unfortunately it's not very tourist friendly. The entire museum is mostly mementos and texts but no English language anywhere. What a shame considering the importance of Hesse to the entire world.

It’s not spectacular, but it’s a treasure if you like Herman Hesse and his writings. The museum is well situated, but it could benefit from a more modern approach. One has the feeling that there isn’t a coherent story told with the exhibition, that there are too many things crammed into a relatively small space, certainly all aspects of Hesse’s life, but the take home message is missing. On the other hand, this doesn’t matter if you like to discover small details and find out new things about the author.

This review is only for the “Footsteps of Hermann Hesse walk” which is about 1 hours around the museum. If you prefer not to walk along main streets with car traffic then I don’t recommend this walk. I went on this walk with my baby and my dog but ended up turning around when I realised a significant portion of the walk is on narrow sidewalks on trafficked streets. I was expecting a more pedestrian dedicated path but this isn’t what I found. I’m sure the museum is lovely and I would like to visit once it’s open again (closed now for the season) I hope I don’t affect or confuse the grade of the walk with the experience at the museum but couldn’t find where to review the path on Google.

I visited Chiesa di Santa Maria degli Angioli mainly for the famous fresco and it truly lived up to the hype. The artwork by Bernardino Luini took my breath away. From the outside it looks simple, but inside, it’s unforgettable.

Location is Awesome but not well maintained compared to other Churches in Lugano... But the view from the roof is the main attraction...Top view of Lugano is just awesome.... Every one should visit if you are visiting Lugano..

Beautiful church. You'll be surprised when you hear the story about the paintings inside

If you enjoy art, do not miss the most significant Renaissance fresco in Switzerland within the Santa Maria degli Angioli church (cornerstone laid in 1499). Painted by a local artist Bernardino Luini (b1480) in 1529, just three years before he died. The church contains a description (in Italian) outlining the meaning of the different figures in this wall size fresco. This church was founded by Reformed Followers of St. Francis beginning with Brother Silvesti in 1439 during a tumultuous time for the region. Problems included the ongoing fight between the Guelphs & Ghibellines (Pope Supporters vs Roman Emperor supporters), the territorial disputes between aristocrats and the onset of the plaque. The church is not encrusted with gold but rather embodies a calmness one usually associates with the divine. For that and providing written historical context to educate the visitor, I gave it 5 starts

Absolutely stunning views and the most quaint little church. Would recommend the visit and a visit inside the church. We were very privileged to see how Italian people live in this stunning place.

Home to the most famous Renaissance fresco in Switzerland painted by Bernardino Luini; who studied under Leonardo da Vinci. The church itself was built in 1499-1500.

What a lovely Renaissance style church. I entered here because I was stunned by an unusual chromium cross. Shining from far away like a lighthouse pointing the way to house of Lord.

Historical landmark. Situated in the center of the city, you cannot miss it.

Piazza Riforma is such a nice place to wander here and there. A lot of tourists came to visit. You have lot of things to do, eat quality food, spend time with friends.

The Reform square is the very center of old town Lugano. It's just across the lake promenade, traffic free pedestrian area. Several bars and restaurants along with a nice Town Hall

I spent a lot of time in Piazza della Riforma it’s the heart of Lugano. Surrounded by cafés, historic buildings, and a lively atmosphere, it felt like the perfect place to sit, people-watch, and soak in the city’s rhythm.

Quaint little piazza. I went during their summer music festivals. Awesome little community coming together to celebrate and have fun.

The place is realy great, food is ok, but service is really bad. Serviced by the biggest guy who didn't pay attention cause we don't speak Italiian. Lack of interest. Ordered la Pinza with extras and asked for well backed. Got it almost cold. The whole service is very rude if you dont speak Italian. Expensive and rude. This is the 4th time it happends and the last. It's not worth it. Look around, there is much more.

Nice piazza, very central and busy

Wonderful boulevard to walk along. Many eating options and exquisite shops on it. In the winter, a part of it hosts the Christmass Market. From there, the lake ahore is close to reach A must-have on thr list of Lugano sights

It’s a really nice place to walk around, lots of restaurants around. Felt very safe there.

The architectural identity of the old town of Lugano All the brands and markets in this distinctive shopping street

Very nice via to walk and explore the city center.

Wow

A wonderful place of culture. The building has enormous space inside, it is far bigger than the outside reveals. Good restaurant and nice little shop. The building also serves as a concert hall.

Great event venue, suitable for a whole range of different event types, from cultural and artistic to business gatherings.

lovely museum, very big space. almost wish there was more to look at.

Beautiful modern building right on the lake in downtown Lugano. Beautiful vistas from every window… not to mention the great exhibits. Spent a lovely morning there and then you can have coffee in the courtyard cafe!

This art center never disappoints. The natural lighting and high-ceiling spaciousnesses encourages an inner calm and bolsters the ability to reflect. It is the opposite of most places in an urban environment, so you are invited to slow down. The events and artists are absolutely top quality and the acoustics for musical performances is good. I will get a season pass for 2023 for sure. It’s just such a good place to spend time.

The exposition on Ernst Scheidegger resonated deeply with me and I greatly enjoyed it. (Streams of Spleen on the other hand, not so much). The staff was lovely, there is storage for coats and other personal items, and entry is free with the Swiss Pass.

Great Place with mixing of Nature, History and Fashion. Unique views. Surely prices for everything is high as a touristic place but it worth it! If you are here, you can easily visit Como city in Italy as well. 30 mins to drive.

Great Swiss Museum ! Exhibitions Architecture The view

Fantastic Gallery with a wide variety of interesting exhibitions during the year + a permanent exhibition of Swiss artists. We have been here several times, at least once or twice a year, this time for the drawings from Dürer to Warhol exhibition. Perfect.

One of the best art museums in Switzerland, grand curation in a fantastic building and location.

A beautiful museum in a beautiful location, but 20 francs for a museum that can be visited in 20 minutes is a bit much

Beautiful architecture, amazing collection at the museum store. Sad to have missed the surrealism exhibition earlier this year. Staff were friendly, especially Robert who took time to chat :) Free Wi-fi for guests! Museum indoor cafe was closed sadly, but tables were great for working, nice open areas. They also regularly have free concerts.

Very impressive architecture that gives the remarkable collection a more than generous frame.

Terrific museum. The Paul Klee exhibition was excellent and an English commentary was very helpful. The Ticino area was varied and interesting and the Marcel Broodhaers in the basement was a lightweight and enjoyable finish to the visit.

The Alprose Chocolate Museum is small but charming. When we visited, the factory wasn’t operating, so we didn’t get to see the chocolate being made in real time, which was a bit disappointing. However, they do show interesting videos about the history of chocolate and how it’s made, which makes up for it in a way! 📽️✨ Right at the entrance, there’s a fun chocolate fountain that sets the mood perfectly – it smells amazing and definitely gets you in the chocolate spirit! 🍫⛲they give you a taste of it, of course 😋 At the end of the visit, you get to enjoy some chocolate tastings (yum!), and there’s a cute shop where you can buy all kinds of delicious Swiss chocolates to take home. 🛍️🍬 Overall, it’s a short and sweet experience, great for chocolate lovers and families. If you’re in the area and craving something sweet, it’s definitely worth a quick visit!

Many years after my last visit, I went there again. The small museum basically is the same, however, they charge for it now. The tasting options in the shop have been reduced significantly. Still a nice short stop close to Lugano.

We arrived an hour before it is closed. Usually you would see the employee working if arrived before 4 o’clock so by 4 o’clock, we only had one hour to walk our self through the factory, but it’s worth it. You’d see the history of chocolate and the progress of the chocolate from being drunk to being eight and the creation of the molds . It was interesting to see the. Ceramic dishes which was used for chocolate by notability before chocolate was available for all people. It was buy to buy some chocolates on July because we eventually get all our chocolate melted however, I ate it anyway 😅

For 5 CHF You get a nice little tour at the factory with some sqmple tasting. If you're in the area, you should stop by.

Cute small factory. We were welcomed with chocolate tasting. It is interesting to know the chocolate story.

Small factory but the chocolate is very good!

In my opinion, visiting the Alprose Chocolate Factory is not really worth it. The place is very small, and there’s no real reason to pay an entrance fee for something you can easily buy anywhere else. If you still decide to go, you can take the S60 train from Lugano FLP to Caslano Station, then walk about 150 meters to reach the factory. Personally, I recommend spending your time enjoying the beauty of Lugano and its surroundings instead, especially since the production lines are not operating on weekends, which makes the visit quite limited. Save your time to explore the city and buy chocolate whenever you like without extra costs.

located near the lake A Stylish Gaming Experience at Casino Lugano Casino Lugano offers an exciting and upscale gaming experience in the heart of Lugano. With its elegant atmosphere and stunning views of Lake Lugano, it’s the perfect place for an evening of entertainment.

We dropped by for while to play the slot machine and it was great! If you have free time around Lugano, highly recommend! Can get some soft drinks (Coke) or alcohol here too! Can change into Euros or Swiss Franc, easy to enter and exit.

Place is pretty beautiful on the lake side - beautiful lake there. Infrastructure is great like washrooms and everything. Though great place for camper parking free washrooms, free toiletry etc. Hidden charges like where are you gonna park, trash management charges which we haven’t saw in italy. Overall great place must stay here if you just entered ins swiss

Want to bet some money go to the Casinò Lugano. The place and ambiance of the casinò is really cool and fun. Maybe it’s your lucky day to win some money and have a great day in Lugano. Just don’t spend so much and try to leave the casinò on time. Have fun and enjoy your day. 😎😃

Everyone who worked here was very nice. I'm glad they have smoke free floors. We don't smoke and that was great to play the automatic roulette with no smoke around us.

Senza classe, pathetic casino with malicious staff. High rollers are met with contempt. I would rather burn my money than gamble at this establishment.

Im a permit C holder and your staff did not accept me to enter because im not from EU country although Im a permit C holder, strange because in Monteux & Geneva they accept. I think its being racist!

Definitely the worst casino I have ever been to. Employees are very unfriendly disgusting. The toilet looks like a public one. Profit is not possible. I have been 7 times and with 400 Euros for a role of 2 to 5 Euros, not a single free game! Every time I lost from 1000 to 3000 Euros and I never won. This Casino has already gone bankrupt once, and it is obvious why. NEVER MORE!!! All other Casinos are Betther then this one

I came to play poker tournament. It was dissapointing. The building looks eerie and rundown. There wasn’t enough staff. They speak little English. The tournament organization was poor—lots of delays, and the halls were scattered across different floors. The floors weren’t well connected because some elevators weren’t working. I felt like I was playing in a warehouse. For casino registration, they require a fingerprint, which is outrageous. I won’t be coming back, and many other players share the same opinion.

An imposing and decried architectural horror which is the largest casino in Europe but somewhat spoils the magnificent coastline in Lac de Lugano. Originally created during the First World War in 1917, he closed the first time in between the two world war suspected of having been created mainly for Italian espionage in Switzerland. He was reopened in 1933 under the leadership of Benito Mussolini. Then in the second part of the 20th century, the casino has a reputation of a "Italian Las Vegas" which allows the city to prosperous thanks to its casino. More recently, the casino moved to new premises in 2007, those that we see today designed by the Swiss architect Mario Botta, which is very criticized for their appearance ! Declared bankrupt in 2018. 492 jobs (in a commune of 1860 residents) were deleted. Bankruptcy is due to too much debt contracted by the casino, a loss of speed concerning new game technologies, and to the fact that almost 50% of its income fuel the public finances of the municipality of Campione. After this bankruptcy, Mario Botta states that having designed this building without thinking about a different use of a casino was a mistake ... Finally, the casino was reopened to the public in 2022.

I used to play poker here before they went bankrupt, used to be full of people and a good number of cache poker tables. (Pictures are for 2017)

I didn’t win but great experience

Congratulations on ruining the entire landscape of beautiful Lago di Lugano with this building. I hope who ever approved and designed it, has a special place in you know where…

Some staff members speak inappropriately, and there have been incidents of theft or missing belongings. The casino disclaims responsibility and is unable to provide access to surveillance footage.

Why do so many people love this city? Good Question One standout reason is the stunning church tower, which offers breathtaking views that captivate visitors regardless of the weather. This picturesque setting provides a sense of tranquility and relaxation, making it a perfect escape. Upon arriving at the Lugano train station, you’re immediately greeted by the stunning natural beauty and landscapes that define the area. I always encourage friends and family to visit this charming city. Plus, the name "Lugano" itself has a nice ring to it—fun fact: it was also the name of a soccer player from Fenerbahçe two decades ago! Additionally, the beautiful architecture surrounding the station, both inside and out, adds to the city's appeal, making Lugano a must-visit destination.

As soon as we got off the train, we were welcomed by a stunning view of the Cathedral of Saint Lawrence. The inside was peaceful and quiet, filled with a sense of serenity. People were very respectful and the whole atmosphere added to the beauty of Lugano, simply heavenly.

The place was both vibrant and well-maintained, with gleaming surfaces throughout. Additionally, a balcony overlooked the area, providing an excellent view of the cathedral, which could be seen from any part of the town. In my opinion, it was one of the finest churches I have ever had the opportunity to visit.

The church is very beautiful and it stands out. I think it’s such a great building and suits this place very well. Unfortunately I forgot to go inside this time, so I must come and visit again

If you are in Lugano you got to visit Cathedral of Saint Lawrence for its stunning architecture and beauty. The place provides you peace and you can sit there and enjoy the beautiful views.

This enchanting destination is a hidden gem that invites you to immerse yourself in its serene beauty. It's truly a must-visit, offering a perfect escape where tranquility and charm abound.

Worth the hike up the road Take breaks grab ice cream before :) Beautiful place for a walk up form downtown Flagship architecture of the town

A visit to the ancien holiday maison of an Italian influential writer, which was lately used by his grandson Marquis Roi - a great collector of cigars, board games, books,….a lover of symmetric decoration,….gives us an insight of of the intellectual and bourgeois class of the 19th and 20th century. That inspires me a lot. The visit was accompanied by a friendly guide just a little regrets of not having enough time to wandering and looking more in detail the books, the furnitures the decorations there.

Wonderful villa on the Italian shore of Lugano lake. FAI guides are well prepared and friendly. Definitely worth a visit if you're travelling nearby.

Comfortable, spacious and very clean apartment. Beautiful view from the windows of the lake. Thank you for an unforgettable experience.

Even if you know nothing about the author whose villa this originally was, the place is quite beautiful AND the last owner’s insistence that place be kept just as he left it, with all of his possessions in place, means that it is an incredible window into the world of a certain class of people in the latter half of the 19th c. The villa is beautifully kept and the volunteer docents are amazing.... by all means combine a visit here with lunch at the incredible Osteria De Cin in Claino across the lake. Not to be missed!

Very attractive multilevel house with exquisite 19th century upper middle class furnishing and decor. Superb views out across the lake. Guided tours only, with some English translation if necessary. Some road parking on the road up to Castello but in good weather it may be better to park in Albogasio where there is more parking and a pleasant cafe for refreshments, and walk 10 mins along the "old" main road now bypassed by the tunnel. Easier to find than it might appear on a map! Guided tours are necessarily small due to room sizes so you may have an extended wait. Admission a little steep at €17 but free to UK National Trust members. No catering on site, or in the immediate area. Lots of lovely places to sit and wait and shelter available in the adjacent church.

Beautiful place in a magical environment, in a remote part of the lake of Lugano. It deserves a visit. Enjoy the atmosphere of the garden close to it.

Wonderful Villa on Lugano lake. Heritage of FAI, you can visit this art masterpiece on weekend and enjoy one of the best view of the lake from the terrace

Amazing place that you can reach by climbing beautiful stairs so you can enjoy the view and finally the church comes as a reward ! Founded by the Order of Antonins in 1300, the Sant’Antonio Abate church down below could no longer welcome its many faithful. The inhabitants of Morcote remembered the small votive chapel located at the foot of the mountain, above the houses, where a stone statue was found in 1313 representing the Virgin. The Santa Maria Del Sasso church was built (1462-1478) in this sanctified place. The building has three novel style naves, an illusionist dome and six characteristic terracotta pillars. It experienced a transformation in the Baroque style in 1758. It is home to ancient frescoes as well as an antique organ dating from 1700. The frescoes, partly hidden by this organ, are attributed to Domenico suisnicus circa 1513 and represent scenes from the Passion of Christ : on the right the garden of olive trees and on the left, the Cross path. On the front wall, you can see the crucifixion and, on the vault, episodes of the genesis. The oldest frescoes of the church, which are on the vault of edges and on the arch, were painted shortly after the end of its construction which dated from 1480-1490. They represent the Eternal Father, Saint Augustine, Saint Thomas of Aquin. Their great value is due to their quality and their originality in the history of Lombard art. The six figures of saints painted in the arch of the central nave are attributed to Domenico de Montorfano.

A beautiful church. The path (Sentee de la Gesa) to the church has a breathtaking view of the lake and the village. Just before you arrive at the church there is an amazing cemetery that is a must see!

There is a stunning view and a path to get to it. The inside is peaceful and cozy. We genuinely love it. Don't forget to visit the cemetery close by. With all due respect, it is a hidden gem.

Amazing to see a beautiful church like this. Worth the climb to see the beautiful cathedral. The Ave Maria Statue above and the surrounding cemetery was a great sight to see and reflect on what matters the most.

The climb is steep but it's well worth the effort. Beautiful church outside and inside. Lots of historic frescoes, some of which have been restored to their full glory. The view on the lake is breathtaking. Walking down from the north side you'll arrive at the top of the Scherrer park.

This is a place where you truly earn the reward. As one of my favorite views from a church ever, the infinite steps to the top were totally worth the effort! The climb is a journey in itself, a beautiful monumental staircase. The final destination, the Chiesa Santa Maria del Sasso, is perched high above Lake Lugano, offering breathtaking panoramic views of the water, the old town, and the surrounding mountains. It's an incredible vantage point that leaves a lasting impression. Beyond the view, the church itself is a serene and impressive place. It has a beautiful history, with roots dating back to the 15th century, and features ancient frescoes and an antique organ from the 1700s. The quiet and peaceful atmosphere inside provides a perfect contrast to the energetic climb. This is a must-visit for anyone in the area who appreciates history, architecture, and a truly epic view. Just remember to bring your walking shoes,water and be ready for a rewarding workout!

Beautifu view of Lugano see

This church looks nothing like a church from the outside, only the ornate feature over the door way gives something away, that inside could be interesting, set in one of the busiest streets in Lugano, step in and have a look.

Small, calm, and beautiful church!

U can find peace in here, the holy atmosphere would keep your eyes open.

very beautiful catholic church in the centre.

Small church on the high street, Italian style but cozy

This church, located in Via Nassa, was built in the seventeenth century and has a beautiful baroque portal. Inside, two vaults and Corinthian pilasters along the walls. On the triumphal arch, you can see two angels representing prestigious stucco, and in the center, a painting of the patron saint. On the cross vault of the chancel is an Apotheosis of St. Charles Borromeo, surrounded by stucco decorations. The statue of the Virgin on the marble altar dating from the eighteenth century. The altar framed with stucco angels has a beautiful painting, which can be attributed to G. A. Pettrini and represents the Handover to St. Peter (1730). In a side chapel is a paiting of the "Pietà" (seventeenth century). The facade of the church was restored in 2001. Inside is also a Via Crucis in bronze of sculptor Nag Arnoldi. (Ticino.ch)

Beautiful church

Beautiful place for gathering with friends especially in summer time. We'll maintain, keep in mind there are no additional services close by like wc and bars.

A beautiful house and gallery

The website doesn't clearly state that it probably is closed until End of May :/

Nice garden. Small when compared to other gardens in the area. The garden has free access, the villa itself has limited opening times. The garden is too small and not unique enough for a separate visit but can be nicely combined with walking the sentiera oliva to Gandria.

Great inside and out. Friendly staff. Thought provoking art that fits it’s surroundings

Beautiful place

Si sente che manca qualcosa, vita, gente, amore. Troppa speculazione. Ripeto : non è colpa dei negozianti che tirano solo a campare come tutti.

(Translated by Google) If it weren't for a few bars and shops that stand on their own merits, you could easily walk away. Some days it's truly depressing. Poor management and a dead end. (Original) Se non fosse per alcuni locali e negozi che si salvano per meriti propri, si potrebbe tranquillamente girarci attorno. Certi giorni è davvero deprimente. Gestione pessima e zona morta.

The idea of a group of people running Lugano with the ideology and town planning with such little intelligence and sensitivity for the basic good is overbearing at times. The council of Lugano should be ashamed! Cutting down 20 + trees to fix some holes in the pavements on the front of the lake. Stupidity at its finest.

Great, huge piazza and the glorious town hall, and coffee shop below sits perfect in the square.

Beautiful
