Overview
Lugano, the elegant capital of Canton Ticino, blends Swiss precision with Italian flair, where art, landscape, and culinary traditions harmoniously meet. Departing from Como, this private tour takes you on a leisurely walking exploration of the historic center, nestled between the lake and the San Salvatore and Brè mountains. Admire the city’s highlights, including the lakeside promenade and the Renaissance church of Santa Maria degli Angioli, home to stunning frescoes by Bernardino Luini. The experience is enriched with two tasting moments: local wines and traditional Ticino specialties, followed by authentic Swiss chocolate in a renowned chocolatier, before returning to Como.
