Lugano Travel Guide: Sightseeing, Hotel, Restaurant & Shopping Highlights - Paperback

by Joshua Arnold (Author)

Located in the Ticino region of southern Switzerland, Lugano appears to be a slice of Italy cradled amidst Switzerland's natural grandeur. Lugano is, in fact, one of the largest towns in Switzerland and is the biggest town outside Italy with an Italian-speaking majority. This Swiss city with a Mediterranean flavor is slowly becoming the toast of Swiss tourism with its beautiful mountains, picturesque lakes, and historic old town.
