Day Trip to Lugano + Bellinzona

Join us as we venture past the border of Italy with Switzerland and visit Lugano and Bellinzona, two towns in the canton of Ticino!

Day Trip Details

At the designated time, we will pick you up and set off on a day filled with landscapes.

As we leave northern Italy behind and cross the border, we will enter the territory of Ticino. Our first stop is at the Alprose factory, where we will see how chocolates are made.

After the chocolate factory, we will continue to Lugano, where you will have 2 hours of free time to stroll along Lugano Lake, taste local cuisine, visit the Cathedral of San Lorenzo, or shop in the historic center.

In the afternoon, we will reconvene in central Lugano and proceed to Bellinzona. We will pass by the Castles of Castelgrande and Montebello and admire their facades.

Afterwards, you will have another hour in Bellinzona to explore its old town, shop, or enjoy a drink.

Finally, we will return to the meeting point between 11 and 11.5 hours later.
