Locarno +++ The Cannes of Switzerland

I have been at the Lago Maggiore several times so this page is about Locarno as well as about Lago Maggiore!

I've been here for a few days in 1991 and back then we used Locarno as a base for day trips around the Italian part of Switzerland and North Italy. Afterwards I was here for day trips only. Unfortunately I haven't got loads to tell you about the city - what I enjoyed most was swimming at the Lido every morning and evening!

Enjoy!

 Switzerland certainly offered different weather patterns and scenery, really enjoyed 3 weeks there in 2003.

 This was a big help in planning my trip to Locarno in May. Even thought of staying at the same campground. You gave me some good ideas where to go while there.........Thanks
