Campione d'Italia

First time I visited Campione I was intrigued by the stories of this Italian village located inside Switzerland??? Not only this, but this small village on Lake Lugano is the home of the Largest casino in Europe! How come nobody talks about this place???

A friend of mine lives in Campione so we decided it was time to see this secret wonder...and it was worth it. The place may not look like much from the outside but there are enough things to do to keep you occupied the whole day (and night if you visit the Casino)!!!

The local events office is offering lots of free shows, concerts and fun all weekend long, and the little and quaint caffes and restaurants by the lake make you not want to ever leave this place. (see mycampione.com for event listings)

It may not be a big city with tons of things to do, but if you want to go to Italy without crossing the border...come to Campione d'Italia!!!

Pros and Cons
  • Pros:Great location, great food at local restaurants, casino fun
  • Cons:no shops!...
  • In a nutshell:More than just a tax haven for the wealthy!
