Lugano is a city located in southern Switzerland close to the Italian border, the capital of the Canton of Ticino. Despite its proximity to The Alps, Lugano enjoys a rather warm climate and is a popular destination during summertime. Lugano is famous for its natural beauty, with the stunning Lake Lugano located at the edge of the city. If you're arriving here by air, your best bet is to hire a car from Lugano Airport in order to get the most out of exploring the hills which extend up from the edge of the city and enjoy the amazing surroundings.
Lake Lugano is one of the most beautiful natural attractions in the area where you can go walking and even take a boat cruise around the lake. There's no better way to experience the stunning surroundings than a walk around the Historical Sonvico Nature Trail. There is a beautiful church here that was built in the 16th century called Chiesa di Santa Maria degli Angeli, and the beautiful 16th century frescoes are worth the trip alone. Lugano was the first city to host the Eurovision Song Contest - Casinò Lugano is a stunning building which will leave you in no doubt as to why it was selected as the venue. Hiring a car from Lugano Airport provides you the chance to see these beautiful places and many more.
