Lugano Travel Guide: 542 reviews and 966 photos

LUGANO LAKE

The lake is beautiful and the water is clear.
You can visit the lake by boat or rent a boat for 4 or 6 people...

I like to walk by the lake with you.

HOW TO REACH MASSAGNO ?

From the town center.

You may walk or take the funicular. it's cheap and if you have to much to carry, it's better. 5 Minutes.

Another way if you are tired, or if it's too late...go to MANOR and ask for a taxi. it will cost 10 - 20 CHF to go to Massagno.

VIEW FROM THE TOP

when it's too warm in summer, it's easy to take a Funicular and try to go high enough to feel the fresh air.


You have another way to find some fresh air: you must buy a AIR CONDITIONING SYSTEM...

ITALIAN MARKET

Good place to live: there is a lot a good fruits and vegetables,
but the prices are cheap.

it's not like in Manhattan.

FROM LUGANO STATION

Don't take the car if you want to avoid the trafic jam.
You must take the littke train in front of the station. Bring a cart with wheel, if you want to buy in the market.


Don't forget your passport when you will be in Italy.


The travel is beautiful, you can see the lake and the country. You will go by AGNO (Airport)...

When you arrive in Ponte Tressa by the Swiss side, go towards the river by the pedestrian walk.

Show your passport, then continue on your right, toward a big building. The market is just behind this building.

ON THE MARKET
you must take your time to taste and choice the best food. Don't hesitate to taste, it's the custom.
Here, you will have to pay in EURO, so you can leave your CHF Francs at home (heavy coins)....

.

FUN-ICULARE

LUGANO to MASSAGNO or to the Main station : 5 minutes

WALK...

I loved to walk by the lake,
because you were with me.

it was wonderful to talk with you, even under the rain.

Here there are big sudden storm sometimes (mountains areas). Bring your ombrella !

FROM LUGANO

Here you can see the road to Milano, Italy.

The view is so wonderful.
It's a good place to live, isn' t ?
Good view, good food...

WHERE TO INVEST ?

FUTURE = STRATEGY %fs

We must think and use our skills and our resources to find the best way to invest and the best location to live.
