What to see in southern Switzerland: Lugano and Bellinzona

27 December 2018 by MilanoArte Leave a Comment

The southern region of Switzerland, the Ticino canton, is a charming region of blue lakes and snow white mountains, full of history, Medieval castles, beautiful churches and glamorous towns. All of this, just one hour driving from Milano.

During our trip of southern Switzerland you can stroll the glamorous streets of Lugano (and stop at a fancy outlet for shopping), visit a chocolate factory and enjoy some local wine in an elegant cellar. Then you can head to admire the massive castles of Bellinzona and finally stop at Locarno on Lake Maggiore and discover the only building in the world designed by Leonardo da Vinci still standing.
Walk off the beaten path and discover this amazing region.

Do you know that Canton Ticino was a part of the dukedom of Milano until the beginning of the 1500s? It was sold to the Swiss by the French.
