We spent several days in Lugano and absolutely loved it. There was so much to see and do there. Our hotel was outstanding - Hotel Dante Lugano. It is located right at the bottom of the funicular. Their breakfast was great and I still crave their hot chocolate. It was so thick and yummy, the spoon practically stood up by itself in the mug. You can walk to the main part of town and visit a fantastic department store where you will find many amazing products. You can take a local bus and go to a huge funicular and ride way, way up high to an old church and such a scenic view from up so high; you could see many alps. There are many lively outdoor eateries in the evenings which provided great entertainment. Many people go to the beach area of Lake Lugano for swimming. There was a fun cruise up the lake which we enjoyed. We absolutely loved our stay there and would love to return some day. Our flight to and from Lugano was from Milan, Italy - about 60 miles away if I remember correctly. We took trains from the airport to Lugano. I wish I knew how to attach photos here but I guess you can look it all up online and see the same things.
