Activity itinerary

Chiesa di Santa Maria degli Angioli
  • 15m
Start the walk at the Church of Saint Mary of the Angels. Despite the simplistic appearance, walking inside the church is a striking experience of marvelling at the famous Renaissance frescoes of the Passion And Crucifixion of Chris and Last Supper, covering all over the dividing wall and the nave’s south wall respectively. The mesmerising masterworks strongly influenced by Leonardo are the most important examples of the Lombard Renaissance in Switzerland.
Via Nassa
  • 15m
Upon leaving the faraway land, join the atmospheric Via Nassa, historically Lugano’s most important commercial street. The high-end labels and historic architectural elements add an elegant touch to this street, which elevates window shopping to an art form with an array of classy boutiques, exquisite antiques, lovely eateries, and elegant cafés nestling under the porticoes along the thoroughfare.
Piazza della Riforma
  • 15m
At the end of the street is the Reformation Square, which hosts regular lively festivals and markets. The relaxing ambiance of elegant neoclassical buildings, quaint cafes, and flamboyant booths selling local produce make it the favourite meeting venue in the city today. But three centuries ago, the Town Hall dominating the cosy square was the quiet witness of a series of chaotic political events.
Cathedral of Saint Lawrence
  • 15m
Next, it’s time to pace yourself and walk up to the higher part of the city where the Cathedral of Saint Lawrence rests in the shadow of its looming Baroque-style bell. The climb rewards with pleasant vistas of the town below, the imposing mountains, and a splendid sight of the majestic white-stone temple hiding inside a glorious interior.
Fontana Moccetti
  • 15m
Then, head to the riverfront to the stunning Mocetti Fountain, housing miniature mountains and a pond of crystal clear water, symbolising the natural landscapes that Lugano is blessed with. The waterwork surrounded by nice buildings and facing out right to the picturesque Lugano Lake offers excellent backdrops for souvenir photos.
Chiesa di San Rocco
  • 15m
In the following step, check out the elegant Church of S. Rocco, whose neo-baroque façade showing off intricate carvings and inscriptions is an outstanding example of its kind.
Parco Ciani
  • 15m
Finally, explore all the wonders that Ciani Park has to offer within an area of 63,000 m², including a gigantic botanic collection of native and exotic vegetation, velvety lawns alternating with flower beds in bloom, winding paths lined by century-old trees and beautiful buildings far and few in between, and the list goes on. The secluded green oasis overlooking the vast lake is a veritable wonderland to get in touch with nature after the hustle and bustle in the vibrant city centre.
