The 46 best things to do with kids 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.)

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

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 🌷✨

Great park on top of the mountain. Very nice temperature difference than down on the lake, for a great escape from the heat. There are some play structures, a zip line, swings for the kids, some walking paths, sculptures, botanical gardens for the adults. Very enjoyable and educational as well. There are also locations for picnics and grilling, but camping and lighting fires is prohibited. There are a number of public water fountains as well with clean and fresh tasting water. The scenic overlook offers a great view. The panoramic trail however is long and arrives at the top where there is only a weather station and no view. The walk in the wood though is very pleasant and non technical, although there are some slight grades.

The most amazing view we could have gotten in Lugano region. Can see a huge portion of the lake and coast. The garden is also absolutely stunning. Clean and well kept with prestine public WC.

Beautiful place with stunning views, easy to walk. There is also a restaurant, and swing for children, garden is perfect.

Wounderfull mountain view, relaxed atmosphäre and free

Beautiful park! Absolutely stunning views over the lake, some art there too, botanical gardens, playground for kids, barbecue place as well, and a viewpoint with the swing! WOW, it really got it all! Recommended!

Nice place to visit if you wanna see the beautiful view of Lake Lugano. It was not so easy going up as the path we took was the narrow one, you need to watch your step as there are some roots of the trees and rocks..but if you are to up to some little challenge then definitely worth it. There are some benches you can take a rest and enjoy the view.

The botanical garden of San Grato offers unique natural characteristics, but also an exceptional panoramic view on the immediate surroundings and on the peaks of the alpine chain. Visiting the park you’ve got the sensation of entering an enchanted world, where colors and odors of azaleas, camellia and rhododendrons make you feel unforgettable emotions. The park lies behind the majestic Monte San Salvatore on 690 meters on the charming peninsula just 10km from Lugano. It belongs to the municipality of Carona that towers above the Lake. The park is situated in an exceptional position from a scenery point of view. The park with a size of 62000 square meters has the greatest collection of azaleas, rhododendrons and conifers in Insubria, in terms of variety and quantity. The park is also a great place to stop during the hike from Monte San Salvatore, through Carona with its picturesque hamlet to Morcote, and for mountain bikers needing a break after some single trails on the peninsula. In the center of the park there is a restaurant that offers delicious meals, accompanied by an authentic smile and a great view. Carona can also be reached by public transport from Lugano in just 20 minutes. (Ticino.ch)

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

Good experience with a little thing that should be changed. Friendly staff, the woman at the entrance even spoke good English! Enough parking space (1fr per hour, 5fr max), and enough beds to put down the towels. We visited the swimming pools and slides, but there is also a separate spa area! The slides are awesome! 7 different ones, most are exciting for most ages (small children are not allowed in some slides). Everything is clean. At the entrance you get a small wristband that you can use to pay for drinks and food (a lot to choose from), it is also used to open/close your locker. One small thing: no staff is present at the top of the stairs, where all more exciting slides are. Sometimes there are traffic jams, which could have been solved easily by someone from the staff. And when the elevator that brings the yellow bands to the top was broke for half an hour, no one came up to explain. So we stood there waiting for nothing. Tip: the standard time to visit is 4 hours, but extending your visit is only 2fr per person per half hour, so it's not very expensive!

I was not aware of this place and got to find it coincidentally yesterday and today we went there immediately with my kids. We bought the tickets beforehand to make sure we have our spot. The tickets are being sold upon availablity which I think is a great system. Like this they avoid overcrowding the pools. The person at the entrance was very kind and helpful with our check-in. The changing rooms are nice, large, bright enough but also discreet enough with a massive number of lockers. There are hair dryer stations with enough dryers. The big pools are on the top floor. One pool is with tidal wave which 8 guess starts every 30 minutes and lasts for 10-15 minutes. There are also outdoor pools with bubble sessions and the best pool is the one with a bar where you can sit in a warm pool and sip your drink. There is also a restaurant with proper food, not jumk food. For instance we had a plate of rice with chicken curry and a plate of lasagne. One floor below you can walk to the slides. Great slides! Single slides, single slides with a mat, doubles slides and one slide for up to four people. The explanations by the slides are very detailed and understandable for everyone. The Spa part we have not visited but it seems like it's a big area. What you also find on the top floor is an area for little kids and a hammam. To be honest it was a great day in a great pool palace.

We had a great time! We were on a Tuesday so it wasn't crouded. The facilities are very good. Lot's of toilets and showers. Many pools to choose from. The slides are great fun and there was no line. Food is OK and you have a lot of choices. Comparing to Switzerland it is not so expensive. Really recommanded. I didn't take picture due to the privacy of other visitors. One thing - Stuff does not always know English and there is no English option in the electronic tickets vending machine.

Great day out. The slides were great. The place was clean. It wasn't very busy- no waits for any slide. Food seemed surprisingly reasonably priced. Highly recommended!

Great place for a day trip and very kid friendly. Strikes the right balance between relaxation and adventure. If you are based in Lugano it is just a 15 min train ride to the nearest train station.

Waterpark was really good (kids from 10 years and up) Food was a bit of a mixed experience (considering the price), drinks was good. (Not considering food it would have been 5 stars) Buy tickets 2-3 days in advance to get better prices.

Magnificent water park! We loved to be there! it's an indoor water park, warm and nice inside, there is a wave pool every 30 minutes(i think) and 2 more pools inside( one of them is warmer)and one more pool that is outside and warm. The children area was so much fun, it has 2 slides and the water sprinklers are hot and nice, our 4 and 1 years old boys had so much fun. The bigger water slides are for big kids (8 years old and above 120 cm) they were very fast, cool and scary because the slide is dark inside. Overall we really enjoyed it and recommand it :-)

This is a great spot to spend a hot summer day! The area is spacious and well-organized, with grassy lawns for relaxing, a pool for the little ones, a pool with diving boards, a mid-depth pool, and a deep pool for serious swimmers. There’s also access to a lovely beach area with soft sand and the chance to swim directly in the lake, which is a real highlight. The only downside is that in the deep pool, people don’t wear swim caps, so there tends to be a lot of hair floating around, sometimes so much that you could get tangled in it. But aside from that, everything else is fantastic. It’s a fun and relaxing place for people of all ages!

Lido di Lugano is an amazing place to spend the day, especially if you have kids. With a variety of pools, including an Olympic-sized one and a children's pool, there's something for everyone. We loved the large grassy areas for relaxing, and the sandy beach is a huge bonus. It's a fantastic spot with great amenities, perfect for a fun-filled family day out.

Beautiful place! Very clean and spacious Recommend 5⭐️

The swimming pools were great, Super clean and the bathrooms were also top! They even had nice hairdryers. Prices for the beds and umbrellas is 8 chf each.

The place is amazing, but the food could really be better!

The BEST Lido in the Lugano area: -- excellent restaurant -- 4 pools -- Lake swimming -- wonderful staff -- old style Lido look and decor

Great place to visit. Kids enjoyed it. Several diving boards, 1m, 3m, 5m and 10m in height. Small swimming pool for kids, and Olympic sized pool. Beach area on the lake. Note, sun loungers and parasols come at an extra cost and deposit. Drinks cups also require a deposit.

This is such a gem. It’s completely free and it’s absolutely stunning. I’ve got some beautiful pictures here. You should take an hour or two to fully take it in and enjoy it. It was bigger than expected, so that was a nice surprise. If you’re visiting Lugano or you’re near by, it’s worth checking it out.

This is easily one of the best parks I have ever visited. I absolutely loved the unique country and era themes of the various sections of the park. It felt like walking through different historical periods, which made the exploration truly captivating. Despite the exhaustion after returning from the Chiesa Di Santa Maria, the journey through the park was so worthwhile and beautiful. This place is an absolute must-see and I would recommend it to anyone!

A True Gem! Parco Scherrer is an absolute must-see, and the fact that admission is free makes it an even greater find. It's a truly delightful park, located on a slight hill, which offers pleasant walks and beautiful views. The park is very well-maintained and thoughtfully designed, featuring a variety of distinct areas. You'll discover stunningly reconstructed environments, like the beautiful Asian section, that are meticulously cared for. It’s the perfect size—not too large, so you can explore everything without feeling rushed. Every corner of the park is well-arranged and feels like a new discovery. This place truly is a magnificent gem. I highly recommend a visit!

What a beautiful park and so many interesting, different buildings. I will for sure come back and attend a guided tour.

Delightful park on the steep hillside above Morcote. A fascinating story of Scherrer and the design elements of this park. It is so peaceful yet interesting, and as you climb higher the views get better. An unexpected bonus was that there is no entry fee.

Absolutely amazing and outstanding. The garden is amazing. The view is beautiful. It is free entrance. The village is also very cute. It is a must to visit.

I can’t believe it doesn’t cost a thing to visit such a beauty. It is absolutely stunning!

Amazing hiking place! The best top of mountain in the planet!

Beautiful views over the entire surroundings, you can see both Italy and Switzerland, as close as Lugano and as far as the Alps and Milan if the weather is right. It is a bit expensive to go up by train but if you have a Swiss Pass you can get a big discount, if you have some strong legs there is also several amazing trails.

Incredible views from here, you can take the Alpine trail to get here which is very well maintained, the train or the regular hike.

If you want to catch the funicular, make sure to get to the train station called Capolago-Riva San Vitale (15 away from Lugano, train S10) and then buy your ticket (the earlier you get there, the better). After fourty minutes you will have reached the last stop called Generoso Vetta. There are trails to hike, a magnificent view (climb all the way to the summit and you will get to see Milano)...and let us not forget the Fiore di Pietra by Mr. Botta. This is not open the whole year so you better check before heading there.

HEAVEN ON EARTH. This place is paradise. Photos won’t do justice on how amazing this place is. Switzerland is really beautiful! Breathtaking Monte Generoso :)

One can either walk up or down. Or you can use the funicular train to go up or down. They also have a special steam train version. You pick up the funicular train at Capolago Riva S. Vitale station.

If you want to enjoy a 360 deg panorama in Swiss and Italian alps, Lakes and flat land… this is a place to go. You can enjoy the comfortable railway from Switzerland (from Capolago) or climb the trails from different sides, including some enchanting ski touring patterns. Had the chance to be at the summit at new years night… and the show is amazing. The iconic building F iore di Pietra (from Mario Botta) is then offering a good option for whom want to enjoy a dinner near the summit.

The Lido manager often comes across as impolite, which makes people feel unwelcome. Interestingly, this concern has been raised multiple times by others as well. I would recommend that the manager consider taking a crash course in basic etiquette and customer service.

Small place but very beautiful and peacefull. Love it...

Small but nice beach, bar, sound, beach volleyball field.....

The workers are rude to the customers and do not respect them. They can’t discuss and they aren‘t patient enough. I wouldn‘t go here again. The prices are also too expensive.

Nice place but the place to stay just in front of the lake is very very small and gets overcrowded very quickly. Water doesn't seem very clean and is a bit smelly. Toilets are clean and parking is available nearby (paying). Kind students working there on summer.

lovely and relatively quite place to swimm

Lovely staff. Great location

Excellent service and food! All the dishes dishes were excellent. Can highly recommend the mushroom pasta, seafood pasta and risotto. The wine recommendations paired great with the meal as well. Come early to get a nice table outside!

Food was good but not outstanding as expected. You can expect many portions for its price though. Seafood menu seems to be good in this place!

Amazing authentic Italian food. Service was great and portions were large. Returned for lunch and food was just as good!

Food is good. The attendants are caring. I like the seafood tomato sauce penne. But I do think the veal steak was overcooked and overcharged (around CHF 40 I remember). Good to be at this restaurant but I don’t think I’ll come again.

Loved everything about this place. The food, the atmosfere, servise. Everything was quick and proffesional. Very authentic. Vine was amazing, we tried Prosseco Doc and Riesling, both were perfect, not too sweet, not too dry. Food was great, my spagheti was something out of this word. Steak was absolutely stunning, and the sea food was spot on. I would recommend this place to my friends and family with no doubt.

The moment you step out of the the tram, Lugano is breathtakingly beautiful! Amazing mountain and lake views, clean air, and pretty streets, we came to Galleria and had their Seafood Risotto and Crudo e Mascaporne Pizza, and it does not disappoint. The seafood risotto is laced with clams, mussels, and octopus, on a generous bed of carnaroli, each bite is bursting with seafood umami, and crunchy on the outside but soft inner carbs to die for. Pizza is italian style crispy, and full of Parma ham, and creamy cheese, a big round serving that can be enjoyed by 2! Before you head south to Chiasso, Como, Milan, this is the sneak preview of many wonderful italian cuisines coming your way!

The best appetizer charcuterie and cheese I have had in a long time. Incredible diversity. Exceptional service. I asked for coaching and help and the staff did not disappoint. Truly an outstanding meal.

Really loved this pastry shop, I have been here multiple times but never missed one. For Switzerland the prices are not even high and the quality is top. Definitely recommend.

120+ years old cafe with beautifully maintained interiors. Excellent pastries and coffee. Recommend 'The cloud' pastry- lemon meringue with mango and the 'Shakerati' cold coffee. Excellent service, no hurry to close or usher us out even though we left almost at closing hour.

Beautiful cafe in Lugano. Classy and with great service. The tea and cafes we ordered along with the pastries, were delicious. Absolutely recommended!

Grand Café Al Porto is an absolute treasure in the heart of Lugano! The atmosphere is elegant yet welcoming, with a charm that truly reflects its history since 1803. The service is warm and attentive, and every detail makes you feel like you’re part of a special tradition. Stefano was an amazing 🤩 Their pastries and coffee are exceptional, but you absolutely must try their hot chocolate – it’s rich, velvety, and unforgettable. A perfect spot for breakfast, a sweet indulgence, or simply soaking in the timeless beauty of Lugano. Highly recommended!

A lovely marvel in the centre of Lugano! Food and service were impeccable. Recommend Cappellacci ai funghi porcini and definitely go for the sweet part of the offering 😋 Gianduiotto was amazing (and fantastic to find this sweet that originates in Torino here in Ticino :) Do visit Grand Cafe Al Porto, your palate will not be disappointed and do buy some sweet stuff for your family :)

Grand Café Al Porto is an absolutely charming and beautiful café! The atmosphere is warm and inviting, perfect for a relaxing break. The service was excellent—friendly and attentive, making the experience even more enjoyable. We tried their cappuccino, which was superb, along with the panettone and a decadent chocolate cake. Everything was delicious and beautifully presented. The Earl Grey tea was also delightful and perfectly brewed. A lovely spot to enjoy quality pastries, drinks, and a cozy café experience. Highly recommended!

Grand Cafe Al Porto is really the place to go if you are looking for a nice cup of coffee and some amazing selection of fresh pastries to go with it. The indoor area is spacious and cosy, and customer service is personal friendly and attentive. It feels more like a place where customers feel at home among their family after a while, this personal neighbourhood cafe feel makes it such an ideal place for some quality chill time while at the gorgeous city of Lugano.

Traditional, very good!

A bit pricey, but the food is always good, especially the risotto del grotto. It can be quite loud inside, so you may have to shout to be heard across the table. Staff is very kind.

Nice traditional atmosphere for a Grotto. Prices are in line with the Lugano region (high). Overall delicious and traditional food. I recommend the risotto with salsiccia and merlot, absolutely to try!

Our favourite grotto in the Lugano region. Friendly serviable staff and consistently delicious food.

The food was excellent, but when we were leaving I was pressured to leave a tip. I said no multiple times but the waiter kept repeating that I needed to leave a tip then added a 15% tip for himself. I asked a Swiss friend about this and they told me that behavior should not be tolerated and likely happened due to us being tourists. Edit: I wasn’t given any contact info, but the bill was 54 CHF and the tip he added on was 6, so it was actually 9%. I said no multiple times but then he went and did it anyway.

Great little place. Very friendly staff. Food delicious. Booking is probably required. We visited on a Sunday lunch and got the last table downstairs. I think they may have seating upstairs too.

It's an authentic and good restaurant with a really nice atmosphere. You sit out in a nice garden. You will feel like as you are in Italy. The way they talk and the way they treat you is typically Italian - friendly and no problemo. I wanted to order something that wasn't on the menu and they gladly did it. You have to drive there by car, since it's not in the city centre, but totally worth the drive.

I was a fan of this place as we already ate here last year (Oct.2023). The fine lady who served us was very professional, courteous, and gave us quite good selection of wine and desserts to try. Exquisite food, beautiful place, and superb service were the reasons why we decided to dine here once again. Unfortunately, this year we weren’t quite pleased. My boyfriend and I decided to have here our anniversary dinner. He called 2 days prior for dinner reservation and ordered in advance the Sella di Capriolo con contorni. We arrived on time (18:30) and we were the first guests/customers in the resto. My bf reminded the waiter about our reserved order, and ordered his costine con Patatine together w/1 can of soda and a glass of one of the best red wines they could offer. As soon as the waiter arrived, the wine’s already on the glass without even showing or telling us what that was, and was even rushing to serve us (almost spilled the coke, yet no customers were still present that time). We waited for ALMOST AN HOUR, there were already 4 tables w/their dinner being served (we heard some of them were ordering on the spot and no actual reserved orders beforehand), and still our food hasn’t arrived yet. We have to call for another waiter, and that’s the only time they served our food. The food was not so warm anymore, only states that it’s in the kitchen for quite some time already waiting to be served. The Sella tasted good as ever the first time I tried it, but the costine con Patatine was kinda salty. We decided to shrug it all off so as to enjoy our anniv dinner but the old waiter (even though he’s polite & professional as compared to the first waiter) came back twice BLAMESHIFTING us and justifying why our dinner was served LATE, instead of apologizing for making us wait to almost an hour. To cap off the night, we paid the bill where our change nor even the receipt weren’t even given back. quite a disappointing experience this time. Canvetto Federale’s one of my top fave restaurants in Lugano. I hope they improve their customer service.

Have had dinner 02.10.2022. Recommend to everyone. Capriolo, cervo, puntine, wine... all is on level!!!

One of my favourite spots in Lugano. Short menu but high quality. Big bang per buck.

Very local grotto a short drive from the centre of Lugano. We enjoyed our meal and found it fairly priced - we had the antipasti platter, T-bone steak to share, the panna cotta and the chocolate torte. Note everything here is in Italian, so if you don't speak the language you will have trouble here. Luckily, my dining partner spoke Italian. However, I felt the service lacked warmth - perhaps it was because I was clearly not local? Either way, a good place to go especially for grilled meats.

Excellent food and very good service! Really enjoyed it!

Good food

(Translated by Google) Typical Lugano grotto well known and nice, located on the cantonal road that leads from the Lugano stadium to Canobbio. Nice atmosphere, covered terrace and stone tables outside, we spent an evening with friends. We all had ribs, too bad they were dry!! We even pointed it out and they didn't pay much attention to us, too bad! Very good French fries as well as desserts. Good salt because there wasn't too much of it. Average price! They offered us a lemon at the cashier. (Original) Grotto tipico luganese ben conosciuto e carino, situato sulla strada cantonale che porta dallo stadio di Lugano a Canobbio. Ambiente curato, terrazza coperta e tavoli in sasso esterni, abbiamo passato una serata fra amici. Tutti abbiamo preso costine, peccato che erano secche!! Alche lo abbiamo fatto notare e non ci hanno dato molta retta, peccato! Patatine fritte molto buone come anche i dessert. Buono il sale perché non c’è n’era troppo. Prezzo nella media! Ci hanno offerto il lemoncino alla cassa.

This is definitely a case of ambition exceeding reach. Service was excellent. Ambience? Not much. The menu looks excellent. The execution on the food was unfortunately sub-par. The exception was the dessert. Their pasty chef is very good!

Super food, the staff were very friendly and took very good care of my food allergies. I am allergic to wheat and have severe lactose intolerance, they could make all the dishes with accommodation to my allergies. I was impressed how much care they took to ensure I don't get sick. I highly recommend, the food was great and they proved to be allergy friendly.

I strongly recommend the meat: excellent. The rest was way too expensive for its quality. Greezy food, sauce at fridge-temperature, underwhelming dessert. Staff was friendly, although one of them not really professional (coming to ask questions and not listening to the answers, ignoring our call to ask for information about the menu).

Excellent service. Very nice and attentive. Really fine dishes. Superb and creative dessert Can only be recommended

Beautiful view, fantastic service, best food I've ever had!

Staff was great and the food is good.

Made a bday party and very positive experience

The food was too expensive, and it seemed like we got some food that was reheated from scraps from another table. The waiters were all very nice, but they looked tired and we never saw them take a break the entire time we were there (from the afternoon until late night).

Absolutely fantastic place and such amazing food made outside in front of you with the kindest service and such a local feeling with their house wine and sweet original cups and cans for the wine and serving in cheramic and the view is the most beautiful you can ask for with the shade from the trees 🌳 and kids friendly surroundings I can highly recommend this place

One of the most magical and lovely places. We stopped there for lunch at the end of a boat tour of lake Lugano. Food was the best of our trip and everyone who worked there was just lovely. My son got the gnocchi and it was the best we’d ever had. I had the beef and polenta and it was just wonderful. It was authentic and lovely. Would eat there every day if I could. Five stars!!

Some of the best food I’ve ever had. Beautiful location and wonderful people. Not the easiest to reach but can make for a great day trip

Excellent food and fabulous views. The atmosphere is relaxing and the staff is very nice and friendly. The bruschetta is highly recommended for starters :) The boat ride there adds a lot of charm to the whole experience. Will definitely be back.

Romantic get-away with simple and delicious food. We loved it. They also serve the local sparkling lemonade which is so refreshing.

Nice

Lovely staff members and the food was surprisingly tasty although being fast food. I didn’t like that the entrance was so much for so little you get. Also, they charged the same price for kids as they did the adults. No towels given, so make sure you bring your own. (Could have been in the price, couldn’t it?) The swimming area is also limited but cute with a deck you can swim to. There was a flood in the bathroom which shocked me, but they took care of it pretty fast. Well done.

A great place to chill, enjoy the sun and swim. A very relaxed atmosphere, a nice bar with food and drinks waits for you. It is on the lake has a nice terasse to swim. Kids and families are welcomed.

Hidden gem. Super calm lido with amazing views.

The good place to chill, to have drinks and to try pizza. Music, staff - everything we liked. Only one small obstacle- not easy to find a parking for the car.

Very laid-back, clean and peaceful Lido. The entrance ist 6 CHF and you can use deck chairs for free (sun beds are 5 CHF/day). They have a great variety of food and beverages (snacks, ice cream, beer, lemonade) and very friendly staff. Changing facilities, showers and toilets available. The view from the lake is stunning and the water is very good. There's a bath supervisor on the premise. You can easily spend a whole day at this place. WiFi ist very good, too.

Found this place when searching for a lido in Lugano that was more secluded and less family orientated and was not disappointed. Has a bar with sandwiches/light meal options- including a veggie/vegan option!- and ice creams, small seating area for this, changing rooms and showers, soft seating like hammocks and a lawn with chairs and umbrellas. As the lido is on a steep side, you can either jump in off the board or use the ladder but there is no shore and you have to commit to getting in! There was also a raft to swim out to. Really enjoyed our visit here. They take cash or card also

It’s a cozy place, perfect to enjoy hipster vibes. There is plenty of international customers which makes it a rather chill and sociable bar where to hang out. There’s the possibility to swim and get tanned in the sun, play board games, read comics. I could have stayed there the whole afternoon. People from the staff are social. 👍 Payment with credit card are not allowed (September 2018).

The staff was very friendly and I highly recommend sitting outside of the weather cooperates. Incredible panoramic views whether you sit inside or outside. The Gelato was great!

Really good food. The rabbit dish was delicious. Decent service. Great view.

We stopped for a drink and enjoyed the beautiful view. The service could improve. Nice touch having a dj. I recommend it!!

I recently had the pleasure of visiting Ristorante Vetta San Salvatore, and it was a wonderful experience. The staff was incredibly friendly and made me feel very welcome. While the Roast rabbit deboned, served with polenta was just okay, the truly breathtaking views from the restaurant made up for it. I would definitely recommend this place for its amazing scenery and great service.

Friendly staff all speak 3 languages or more, fantastic food and ofcourse those views. We got up early an didnt have time for breakfast so when we got to San Salvatore this place was a gem! Its a little expensive but the high quality food an service are worth it!

Incredible location at the top of Monte San Salvatore. Really friendly staff. Didn't try hot food but desserts and drinks were excellent.

They gave me bread in dirty plate, with pieces of french fries and ketchup after smb! And I saw it when I ate almost all, because pieces of french fries and ketchup were on the buttom! It's disgusting, I don't have a picture, they changed it fast to new plate, but it's not accesseble! It was table #4 today Check your bread!!!

Amazing park. Probably one of the best views in Lugano. If you are traveling in the city as a tourist I definitely recommend visiting it as a first stop since it's just a couple of minutes away from the train station

Calm, convenient, spacious. Has a fantastic panoramic view. Very nice point to observe city Lugano. Best place for picnic!

Just above and behind Lugano Stazione Gives an equidistant view of Monte Bre and Monte San Salvatore The park is sloping with a narrow path through the centre.

Great view of the lake and the mountains. Toilets and drinking fountains available.

A nice hidden beautiful playground but unfortunately no clear places for parking. Utilities were closed

A very quite and pretty park, not a lot of people walking around. It’s 5 mins walk from the station and great views of lake and city

Very peaceful in the early mornings. Beautiful view of the lake. Wildflowers growing everywhere. Picnic tables and a small children's park are on top of the hill. Open and quiet space for reflection or a nap ☺️

Loved it. No frills about it. Wonderful customer service.

I visited the Museum of Cultures in Lugano on June 2nd and was captivated by the “African Design: The Metals of Power” exhibition. The intricate metalwork pieces showcased the profound cultural significance and craftsmanship of various African communities. The museum’s serene setting in Villa Malpensata added to the enriching experience.

Nice little museum with an excellent exhibit on Japanese art when we were there. Very friendly staff. It's a great stop on the way to or from San Salvatore.

strange ART, very intersting

Amazing location! Beside the little permanent exhibition, some parallel exhibitions are dedicated to foreign artists

the museum was a well managed and interesting exhibition.

Beautiful museum with really well curated collections

Free entry, access by boat from the nearest towns, and the customs officer is really nice and will give you a mini tour or have a chat while you wait for the boat back. Worth a visit if you have some free time and are interested in smuggling history

Very interesting museum on Swiss customs covering the whole of Switzerland and many different eras. Definitely worth a visit and it is a nice boat ride there (only accessible via boat)

We reached the Museum at 13h and waited 40min for the guard to open it.. (Internet indicate opening hours 13h) He finally arrived by boat, opened the doors, did not apologize or bother too much.. It took him aaaages to arrange the regular ticket vs. The 3D ones.. Then another 20min to get the 3d ones started.. Wow. Never again. The museum itself is not tooo special I must say. We believe that you gather more information through those online series.. 2-3 items were interesting.. and floor nr. 3 - def. The highlight. Not. Overall: the boat trip from Lugano over to the museum side was THE BEST. ;)

I was so happy to saw this beautiful museum! Recommend this place for all! I like it!

Located in a house by the lake. It's a rather small museum. I was expecting this to be a bigger place with more artifacts. Most interesting part was a floor with exotic goods that were confiscated on Swiss borders.

Great museum, and amazing view from the boat!

Very impressive. Amazing how taxes can be made so intereesting and so well presented. We were in the area and the lovely hostess suggested to visit (for free) and it was a well worth visit!! A very nice surprise :). It looks like it was just refurbished/opened to the public..

Shopping moments in Lake Lugano. Went grocery shopping like the natives. Great experience.

This store could of been easily a 4 star review. We had an easy time to shop the entire store almost daily for fresh foods/goods, and did enjoyed the fresh sandwiches stand outside. Sandwich staffs were always polite, fast, and easy to pay with USA issued credit cards. "BUT" at the last day of our vacation, at the "Parfumerie" section, while standing quietly in line, waited a long while for the previous customer had trouble to pay for his purchase. We patiently waited for the impatient cashier to help his purchase through his unknown origin credit cards. The cashier decided to open another register and we're completely ignored and overlook by an average 5 feet tale, a female cashier in her 40s. However; the Swiss Italian lady behind us was very nice and told the female cashier to process us first since we've waited a long while for the previous customers. As a long time maga retail store manager in Manhattan, the employee's microaggression behavior towards any customer is due to lack of staff training. But I do recommend visitors to use this Coop Store for fast and convenient purchases while you're visiting. I likely would just revisit the outdoor sandwich team.

Variety of items available and helpful staff.

A beautiful place but prices are high. Very convenient location, easy to go and most frequented by tourists in general.

Supermarket with a good variety of products

Love the rooftop terrace. We went twice for breakfast during our 3 days stay in Lugano. Good sele tion of breakfast and coffee at affordable price. Clean place and plenty tables. A relaxing way to start your day.

Wrong location in Google maps

Good stadium but only if you are a home fan because if you are a away fan you have to walk a lot in some alleyways

Enjoyed being in the away terrace behind the goals. Toilets could maybe do with a refurb though.

Old, but a nice stadium. Vegan Burgers and franch fries. Beer, water and coke. Overall a nice place.

Cornaredo was once the pinnacle of sports entertainment in our area, a majestic venue that stood as a beacon of community pride and sporting excellence. With its sturdy structure and electric atmosphere, the arena played host to countless historic games, concerts, and events, cementing its status as a symbol of our vibrant cultural scene. Over the years, Cornaredo welcomed fans with open arms, offering not just seating but an immersive experience that made every spectator feel like a part of something larger. The architecture, though showing its age now, was once ahead of its time, providing unrivaled views and creating unforgettable moments for all who passed through its gates. Unfortunately, time and changing needs have caught up with Cornaredo. Today, the once-bustling venue sits silent and empty, as the process of dismantling begins to make space for a new, modern stadium. It's a moment of mixed emotions, as we bid farewell to a place that held so many memories and moments of shared joy. The new stadium on the horizon promises innovation and a fresh take on sports entertainment, a nod to progress and the evolution of our community's needs. Yet, as we watch Cornaredo Stadium come down piece by piece, it's impossible not to reflect on the history and camaraderie that once echoed through its walls. In its heyday, Cornaredo Stadium was more than just a sports venue; it was a place where dreams took flight, victories were celebrated, and friendships were forged. As we look forward to the future and the promise of new beginnings, we also take a moment to acknowledge and honor the legacy of Cornaredo, a cherished icon of our shared history and passion for the game. To sum up, Cornaredo will forever hold a special place in the hearts of all who crossed its thresholds. As we prepare to embrace the dawn of a new era with the upcoming stadium, we carry with us the memories and spirit of Cornaredo, a timeless cornerstone of our community's sporting.

Nice still old fashioned football stadium. By 2026 replaced by a new one

Top quality location!

Lugano v.s.inter Milano

This place has an awesome manager, people all funny, serene and sociable. I love everything about this supermarket

The store has a very convenient food court section with great variety of salads, sushi sets, pizza, etc. Works on Saturday but not on Sunday (like most of the businesses in Lugano).

Great Migros in the city center! Very clean, with a wide selection of products and an excellent takeaway section.

The place where you can find almost all that you would want. They have one of the largest collections of fresh fruits and vegetables, a good collection of fresh meat, cheese, fish. They have clothes, children toys, electronics, garden plants and accessories, big section for chocolates, a small watch and jewelry store, a laundry and so on. What is unknown to many is that they also have a machine to print photos, calendars, cards, mugs and T-shirts on the top most floor. At the entrance, you also find ready to eat snacks and meals ( pizzas, cakes, breads or desserts) which you can eat there at the tables or take away.

Well stocked store. Pleasant shopping experience

Huge Migros store in the centre of Lugano. Great food selection on the basement level along with a pick up point for DHL. Ground floor has a take away or sit in restaurant. Other floors have electrical and electronics plus floors for household and clothing too. The floors have other small stores around too.

Good selection for being in the city center, also has decent opening hours. Food for sit-down or takeaway available on the ground floor.

We arrived here on the 25th of October and we were due to stay 5 nights. On arrival we we're checking how to safely access our pitch as it was dark. We were greeted by an aggressively drunken site guest, wielding a beer bottle and being verbally abusive towards us. We made the decision to leave site and had to go to the service station to park for the evening. I reported the incident to the site the same evening and hoped and expected a resolution then next morning. I have emailed several times since, I have attempted to call the site and also chat online to the customer service team and as yet...... I have heard nothing at all.....very disappointing to say the least.

We were here for a week in high season with the family on short notice. We were happily surprised by all the friendly TCS workers, the service, and the campsite. The pitches we had a regular were quite small. But as you must leave your car outside, it's okay again. Though you will have neighbors on all sides. So don't expect the calmest camping, even less so as you have many airplanes flying over the campsite—sometimes several in a row. On the other hand, the lake is gorgeous. We swam every day for hours. There's a small floaty on the lake with a slide. You can rent a stand-up paddleboard. You can also buy ice cream at the beach or grill with an electric BBQ like in Australia. There are two pools, too, though I preferred the lake much more. But it's good sometimes for kids. The shop had extended opening hours (until 10 PM) and had all you needed, including bread and croissants in the morning from 8:30. I recommend this camping to everyone with not too high standards, but great value for the price. Especially also for families. We felt almost like we were on vacation in Italy. Also, I made many race bike tours and other excursions with the family, like Swissminiatur, Lugano, and others.

No hedges just an open place. Sanitary was clean but rundown and it’s very noisy because of the airport. WiFi went perfectly. No younger people in September. Ok but very overpriced

Love the place ! Staying one night in premium pitch, just next to the lake. Beautiful view! Many shower and toilet rooms , no crowd. Grill area with electricity connection.

I think it is just too expensive compared to what they offer. The view from the lake is nice but it can be suck when it rains. It also can be loudly when the aircraft flies around. The WiFi is not so stable. Good thing is they have the private sink that you might can spend some privacy there. It has the Italian restaurant inside the camp which is quite convenience. When you buy Pizza take away , you can get 20 percent discount.

It's a nice place to stay with family and friends

Very nice and welcoming receptionist! We showed up with no reservation and she was very arranging! So thanks a million for that. Shower and common areas are nice, pool looks amazing although a bit cold in May. The view of the lake and the surrounding mountains is really nice! Great place!

Great ice-cream - long opening hours and very friendly staff! We took an ice-cream and went to the lake which is nearby :-) portions are reasonable and prices as usual for the region.

On the evening of August 31, between 6:30 and 7:00 PM, I ordered dark chocolate and confirmed with the staff that the display sticks were identical. However, I was served a product with dark chocolate on the outside and milk cream inside. When I raised this concern, the saleswoman refused to provide a replacement or allow me to speak with a manager. Instead, I was told I would need to pay again if I wanted the correct item. This experience was extremely disappointing and does not reflect the level of professionalism or customer respect one should expect. I kindly request that this matter be addressed appropriately.

Good gelato at a good price. I got the lotus and Calabasas in a cone. A perfect treat to enjoy while strolling through Lugano.

On the evening of August 31, between 6:30 and 7:00 PM, I ordered dark chocolate and asked if the display sticks were the same , confirmed yes. Surprise: outside dark chocolate, inside milk cream! Saleswoman refused to fix it or let me speak to the manager. Completely unprofessional and zero respect for the client. Told me to pay for a new cup if I wanted real dark chocolate. Unacceptable!!

Legit and tasty gelato! Great variety of flavors.

Went there with a friend on August 31 around 7 pm, and the saleswoman said the ice cream bar was dark chocolate inside and out. From the outside it is dark chocolate, so my friend believed her. But it actually had white cream inside. When my friend asked to change it, she refused and told her to pay for a new one. Really disappointing attitude, especially since she gave the wrong info about the product.

Possibly the best gelato I’ve ever had. Loved the dark chocolate!

Beutifull place by the lake. Sometimes there may be some confusion about the beds but usually people work it out among themselves. There are showers and changing rooms, but no toilets (at least none that I saw..). Just note that they don't supply towels and you have to bring your own.

My experience in Lugano Lake was absolutely amazing! The weather was perfect, adding to the beauty of the breathtaking views. The ferry trip across the lake was a highlight, providing a unique and enjoyable way to explore the surroundings. The staff was friendly and accommodating, making the experience even more delightful. I highly recommend taking a ferry trip in Lugano Lake for an unforgettable experience.

5⭐️ A Hidden Gem in Lugano! Lido Riva Caccia was an incredible find! We arrived just as the sun came out and enjoyed a refreshing swim and a quick dip in the beautiful Lake Lugano. The entry fee was very reasonable — only CHF 4 (€4.40) per person — and totally worth it for such a peaceful, scenic experience. Swimming is allowed as long as it’s not raining, and while drinks aren’t included, we treated ourselves to some beer and Aperol Spritz while soaking in the lakeside views. We were lucky to have a sunny window and practically had the place to ourselves — it felt like a private paradise! This spot is a must-visit in Lugano, and we’d absolutely come back again. Highly recommended for anyone looking for a calm, clean, and charming lakeside escape. 🌞🏊‍♂️🍹

Awesome place for a drink, coffee, lunch or sunbathing on a sunny day! All the staff are friendly and welcoming. Their employees are fluent in multiple languages, including English.

Very nice place! Calm, superb view of the lake and birds, friendly staff and delicious ice-creams and fruit. Perfect to relax a bit and enjoy the surroundings, style décontracté 👍👍👍

Very cool location to spend a sunny day sunbathing and bathing in the lake. It’s like 15CHF for a sun bed with umbrella, supervised swimming, jumping tower, plateau in the middle of the lake and a in water volleyball field. You also get decent lunch, drinks, ice cream - but that’s pricy - prime location prices ;) Bring your own towel, water and you’ll be fine.

The swimming experience and staff was 5 stars, but the restaurant experience was 1 star, shockingly disappointing service, the croissants were from the day before (maybe even two…) clearly not fresh at all, and criminally overpriced.

My totem place in the Lugano area. ♡ Simply magic.

Hidden gem with a great view and few tourists. Ideal to spend some peaceful time, disconnect and get lost in the beauties of this region.

One of the best view of Lugano, in the park there is a stone table with a great view and also a water fountain. The area around the old church is sunny with few trees but around the gardens there are plenty of large trees that give a nice shade.

One of best places nearby. Good to spend a couple hours... Top view Lugano up from there is very beautiful... Awesome views of lake Lugano... A great place to have a small picnic too... I like the park very much and visit very often...

A hidden germ, few tourists perfect for quite & calm and stunning views

Absolutely lovely little park that seems to be a local secret! It is a little hard to find but there are signs for it (standard yellow Swiss walking signs). If you take the bus from the centre (bus 2), get off at the last stop and walk 7-8 mins. Boasts panoramic views of the city and the lake! There are benches, picnic tables and a drinking water fountain. Worth a visit if in Lugano for a while.

If you come and visit Lugano, you must go to Parco San Michele because the view of Lugano is just so beautiful 😍.

This is a place for you if you're looking for something cheap, fast, simple and large portioned. As for flavor/food quality, it's average, nothing special. You might leave feeling like you can make this yourself at home. Although they do hand make all their own pastas which is nice. However, the sauce is all already pre-made and they just boil the pasta and throw the sauce on top. I would recommend their Pesto sauce, very garlicky and much more refined than the bolognese and tomato sauces. I got the tagliatelli and it was not cooked al dente, which was disappointing given they are in the Italian side of Switzerland.

I did the two-hour pasta-making class with my family (CHF 80 per person): it was really wonderful! A great value as an activity, and ends with a generous meal (and you take home nearly 1 kg of fresh pasta that you made during the experience). Included hands-on instruction from the manager, and then we ate some of the pasta we made, with the amazing sauses (walnut, pesto, and Bolognese), along with some delicious pizzas. Very friendly staff, and superb food. The class taught us every step needed to make pasta at home. Highly recommend!!

The pasta served was really good and the setting and ambience of the place made you feel home. The guys were friendly and bothered to explain the menu slowly to us even though he couldn't speak a word of English.. Prices are affordable too as compared to the crazy prices in Switzerland eateries. Definitely worth a visit👍

Great small cafeteria that serves fresh pasta. You get to choose the type of pasta and the sauce. Prices are good too, ranging from CHF 13 and up if you want a set meal (or the premium pastas and sauces). Certainly recommend the place if you are in need of a light meal

Best pasta we've ever had great customer service it's a really good place to get your fresh pasta. I had the pesto recommended the staff. The staff was sooo friendly. If you're in the area you should definitely try this place.

Best ravioli I've ever eaten. Tomato and ragu bolognese sauces are excellent. A friendly staff, as well.

Best fresh pasta ever. Simple yet delicious sauce with wonderful fresh pasta. Different texture from regular pasta.

What a fantastic place. We were greeted like we were royalty. Fantastic owners and regulars. I was offered a glass of wine within 1 minute of being there (and it was really nice, especially after a gruelling clime). The log fire just made me want to stay. Pop in here if you are hiking Monte Bar.

bit of a wild ride up the mountian on the dirt road, but once you get up there this is a real gem! Of course.. not much competition ;) The view is superb, food is excellent, and service is friendly. We will be booking this place for our wedding!

Such a lovely place with very nice hosts. We stayed overnight and had amazing dinner and breakfast. Beautiful views and perfect hiking tracks. Thanks a lot!

Very nice experience staying in this cabin :) the host is kind and cooks very well! Thank you so much.

Great hut, they have a nice fireplace and the vibes were immaculate :)

You have to earn it! Great place for hiking and biking. Sit outside and enjoy. Reasonable prices.

Very nice people! Thanks for having us!

Reasonable price for repairing with good hospitality.

(Translated by Google) The bar offers high quality products the products are valid. It's a shame for the staff, the last few times I was served at the counter by a waitress with little desire to work and in my opinion very rude. She didn't even bother to say 'good morning', she continued to carry out her duties, spilling drinks here and there; he cleaned everything with a cloth found nearby and then asked me what I wanted... I thought he would at least wash his hands before touching the waffle that I was supposed to eat. I had also asked for a pineapple juice, there was half the pineapple juice, then he probably got annoyed to get another bottle and thought well of adding a multi-fruit juice.

Pensavo si lavasse almeno le mani prima di toccare la cialda che avrei dovuto mangiare. Avevo anche chiesto un succo ananas, per metà il succo ananas c’era, poi probabilmente si scocciava a prendere un’altra bottiglia e ha ben pensato di mettere un succo multi-fruit.

Lugano is a very small town, compared to what I'm used to living in NYC, Paris, Rome. However; this tiny town offers a bit early summer charm with exponential growth of dinning and groceries costs. It is wise to eat and have a side visit at the Manor Food which is located on the second floor. There is a hidden elevator on the RIGHT hand side before you take the steps for handicap or difficult to ambulate folks. Once you get in, there are plenty of pre-cooked food and and deserts to choose from or limited fresh vegies and fruits if you'd like. A small out door seating area is free for customers to enjoy the early spring sun. Be prepare to pay in credit cards or large sum of Swiss Franc (CHF). But Manor offer a somewhat "reasonable" price at this location.

It’s good supermarket in Theo’s area

Nice museum that could be a lot better by providing more English signage.

Great museum with a lot of things to see and some interactive activites. Also free entry

Nice little museum with stuffed animals. Very nicely made. The written Information is Italian only, but I still enjoyed seeing all the animals. It’s definitely worth a visit. Entrance is free.

Although I cannot read all Italian, but it is really a nice location and presentation. It is educational museum with rich collections and also spent nice time in Lugano.

Very well presented animals & geology information. Larger than expected, given the previous comments.

Great place, very interesting exhibitions (only in Italian!). Well worth a visit.

Interesting museum with nature and animal related topics! Museum is at the first floor when entering the main building.
