Destination: Lake Lugano in Switzerland and Italy

Located on the border between Switzerland and Italy, Lake Lugano is a glacial lake between Lake Maggiore in Switzerland and Lake Como in Italy. While all three lakes are located in the high Alps, Lake Lugano has the unique character of being in both Italy and Switzerland, bringing two cultures and countries together in one magical destination for alpine skiing, boating, recreation, or just a relaxing stay.

Lake Lugano is one of our favorite romantic destinations, as the crystal waters, snow-capped mountains, and alpine forests are conducive to romance. Everything from the twilight dinner cruises, romantic boat rides, and fine dining to the cozy lodging options will set the scene for lovers to enjoy a relaxing vacation in one of the most beautiful spots in Europe — if not the world.

Dining in Lake Lugano:

The regional cuisine of Lake Lugano is considered Ticinese Cuisine. The style of food is closely related to the cooking style of Lombardi, and while the bistros and restaurants will all have their own spin on dishes, many of the dishes blend Swiss, Italian, and German Cooking styles and flavors.

Recreation in Lake Lugano:

Mountain Biking — The hills and mountains surrounding Lake Lugano are filled with over 300 Kilometers of well maintained bike trails. If off road biking is not for you, the various cities around the lake are all connected with pathways and roads that you can bike on. Take your bike and see all of the wondrous cities on the banks of the lake.

Golfing — Only a few minutes from Lugano — near Agno Airport — the Lugano Golf Club is a top destination for golfing tourists. Given its many water obstacles, the course is situated in beautiful landscapes, but is considered to be a very difficult and demanding course.

Casinos and Gaming — Gaming and casinos are legal around some parts of Lake Lugano. In the area there is both the Casino Lugano, and the Casino Campione D’Italia.
