Lake Lugano is located at the southern end of Ticino and extends its branches into Italian territory. Thanks to the mild climate influenced by the Mediterranean Sea, lemons also grow here and holidaymakers can sunbathe under palm trees. This highly ramified lake is surrounded by numerous mountains and parks, ideal for wonderful walks where you can discover sculptures and architecture from many countries and eras, as well as lush vegetation with cedars, Mexican pines, camphor trees, eucalyptus trees, azaleas, palm trees and bamboo. In spring, during the flowering season, visitors can admire magnolias and camellias in all their splendour in a picturesque setting nestled between Italy and Switzerland.
