Lugano, Switzerland, nicknamed the "Monte Carlo of Switzerland," is a popular tourist destination because of its quaint Swiss-village feel, its culture, its favorable proximity to (and distance from) urban commotion and, most of all, its majestic scenery. Sightseeing in Lugano primarily means taking in the luscious landscapes of this Italian-speaking Swiss region, centered by Lake Lugano and surrounded by mountains. With the Alps to the south and Italy just next door, tourists experience a natural and cultural European intersection. Guided Walking Excursions It’s the natural beauty of Lugano that sustains tourism, as the mountains, lake and flowered green fabric of the rolling hills offer scenic opulence. Guided walking tours are common sightseeing activities, as tours offer comprehensive views and close-up exploration of the Lugano region. Common trails are those at the slopes of Mount Caprino, continuing along the edge of Lake Lugano. Ticino Turismo is one company that offers guided excursions of the region, customizable in distance and features. Tours may include “pit stops” to taste typical local dishes, explore the region’s most famous wine cellars or visit the Customs Museum. More expansive excursions may conclude with a visit to Gandria, a former fishing village with a quaint town center, where tourists may shop and dine before returning to Lugano by bus or boat.
