Lugano is a chic and sophisticated resort sitting on the shore of Lake Lugano in the Italian speaking Swiss canton of Ticino. Overlooked by the peaks of San Sallvatore and Monte Bre, the traffic-free old town of Lugano with its pavement cafes, bars and restaurants is bustling with tourists throughout the year.

During the summer months, you can enjoy the open air concerts in the gardens by the lake whilst sunbathing on the beach or try some of the watersports. During the winter, you can combine your Lugano lake holiday with some skiing - there are many top class ski resorts close by such as St Moritz and Madesimo.
