Lugano is located quite close to the Italian border and thanks to its geographical location - this is one of the most popular resorts of the country. In that part of the country where local residents talk in Italian, this is the largest city and a significant part of the canton of Ticino. Due to the fact that Lugano is located on the shore of the same lake, and even surrounded by the picturesque mountain peaks, Natural beauty They are the first in the list of mandatory visits to tourists.
I consider the second place to significantly Park Switzerland in miniature . Notable park is located in the town nearby, Melide. This is approximately ten minutes drive from the city center of Lugano. On the territory of several hectares of the Earth is a chic, just a huge mini version of Switzerland. There are more than 120 layouts of the most beautiful, visited and famous sights of the country, only at a scale of 1:25. Here are the famous structures as: Cathedral of Lausanne, Schilon Castle, Bern's Clock Tower, Palace of the Federal Parliament, a monument to General Suvorov, a monument to Wilhelmu Telly and others. In addition to architectural doors, even the railway, as well as the funicular, lifts, boats, trains are presented here. Here everything blooms and green. Even on tone layouts planted small shrubs and trees. Just amazing place.
San Lorenzo Cathedral . He is the main cathedral of the city, which, besides, has retained numerous frescoes and bas-reliefs related to the era of revival. As well as the chic paintings of Torricelli brothers, made in the style of baroque and sculptures in the style of Rococo. The Cathedral Building itself is very beautiful and looks elegant thanks to magnificent sculptures.
As well as Church of St. Mary. which is known to everyone thanks to the uniquely preserved frescoes of the Passion of Christ. The work of Bernardino Luini.
Palace Palazzo-Civico which is located in the old part of the city. A sufficiently luxurious palace with the Park of the same name, which hosts concerts in open venues, as well as Villa Chiani. This is one of those places that is impressive by beauty and comfort.
Beautiful museums that are so much that it will be difficult to get around and in a few days. For example: Museum of Cultures, Art Museum, Wilhelm Schmidt Museum, Swiss Customs Museum, Herman Hesse Museum, Cantonal and Municipal Art Museums and others.

Another most popular location is Mount Monte-Generalozo which is almost between the lakes of Como and Lugano. From the top of the mountain, there is an amazing panorama. Wherever the neighborhood of the city can be seen, including lakes and houses in Lugano. From the station in Kapolago, the mountain railway leads, the only one in Ticino. Even Milan and Turin in Italy, and the top of Matterhorn, can be viewed from the top.
The picturesque place is considered to be Lake Lugano which lies at an altitude of 271 meters, besides one of the most highly mountain lakes of the country. About 33 kilometers long, the lake itself is a local attraction.
