Pictures of Lugano, Switzerland
Rest and Relax on the Shores of Lake Lugano

By James Martin, About.com Guide

Lugano is the largest town in the Ticino, Switzerland's southern, Italian speaking canton. It's a popular tourist destination for those active travelers interested in trekking or boating activities, or for the stroller who likes to relax, look at beautiful scenery, and--for the reasonably wealthy--shop.

To meet these criteria, Lugano has a large pedestrian zone, lots of restaurants and cafes, and lots of parks to wander around in, including the lakeside Parco Ciani, one of the most interesting.

So sit back, get yourself in the Lugano mode (meaning relax!) and take a look at the pictures from a recent visit. Click each thumbnail picture to see it larger.
