Autumn in Lugano

Switzerland has always been a country that I wanted to visit, for a long time. I’ve been to their big and beautiful airport in Zurich twice but never anywhere else. I think, once, more than 10 years ago, I visited a small corner of Switzerland to see their very own Niagara Fall – I think the place is called The Rhein waterfall. The only objection I have visiting the country is how expensive everything is! Although the Euro is a slightly “bigger” currency than the Swiss Franc, still everything cost double there.

Anyways, Lugano (located at the very southern tip of Switzerland) is an eye opener for all of us. It was worth the trip! The lakes and mountains will simply take your breath away. We passed Lake Como with the bus on our way to Lugano, good God, it does look like a picture perfect setting for a romantic movie! Which it is as many many films has been shot there. Lugano itself is not so big, you can explore it within a weekend. But if you lengthen your stay, you can visit all the beautiful surrounding mountains or take a boat ride to the villages along the lakes – like Gandria.
