Sightseeing in Lugano

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.
