    Take the cable cart to the top of the hill - St.

    Take the cable cart to the top of the hill - St. Salvatore and if you have good weather - there awaits you and this is not an exaggeration by any means - one of the most amazing views I have ever seen in my life. Also we took a boat ride along the lake, which without any discount is about 40CHF for 2 hours ride, which is also very nice. There is a half tax discount if you have it for Switzerland. Miniature museum is nice as well. Lugano over all I think will stay in my heart :)

    2 nights would have been sufficient for us. We took a day trip to Bellinzona and visited most of the popular attractions and had time to spare. We are not shoppers or people who like to hang out next to a pool and relax. If you are that type of person, the lake is beautiful and the shopping options are abundant.

    Lugano is an exceptional peaceful small city where you can enjoy the best views of the lake. Much better place to be compared to Como the busy crowded city. We totally loved this city and all the things that offers from good food and pleasant historic buildings as well as friendly people.

    Good value for the location. The room had very good air con which was important as it was over 33 degrees. I didn’t realise that Switzerland had different plug adapters compared to other EU countries. We searched Lugano for over 2 hours looking for one and had no luck, a really nice girl (with glasses) can’t remember her namewho was serving the breakfast in the hotel gave me her charger and allowed me to keep it for the duration of my stay.

They did offer a delicious breakfast with everything you want. On top of that the staff was very welcoming and the hotel is situated right in the centre of everything, shops, restaurants, lake, etc. We will return for sure!

The views from the room were exceptional and we spent most of our time outside on our large balcony. Breakfast was quite good and the people working in the restaurant were very friendly.
