Switzerland · LUGANO EXPERIENCES
The good lugano experiences fill up while you are still comparing. Below: the 15 to book early, what each includes and how they differ once the day starts.
Falconeria Locarno in Lugano area: a birds of prey flight show with sheltered seating, plus park time. Mobile ticket for 11am and 3pm.
“The show. Very well done, indeed! Good comments and fantastic presentation. We learnt a lot . Nice experience.”
4.5 hours in Lugano: boat to Cassarate, funicular to Monte Brè, village stroll in Brè, and sweeping Lake Lugano views for $26.
“we had a really great time. The guide was fantastic. we loved her.”
3-hour guided Lugano to Monte San Salvatore funicular ride with 360° views, museum options, and time to picnic.
“tour was goed, gids heeft veel informatie gedeeld over locatie.”
Enjoy a 5.5-hour Lake Lugano cruise to Morcote, Switzerland’s 2016 Most Beautiful Village, with guided wandering and Parco Scherrer.
“I've been on many similar tours to this in other countries and have really enjoyed them; however, this one fell flat for me. It took us a long time to even get on the boat, and most of the information shared with us wasn't super interesting. Our guide was also giving the tour in multiple languages, making it feel even slower than necessary and it was difficult to hear her. I would recommend using the ferry to organize your own tour of Morcote.”
Monte Brè by funicular plus a Lago di Lugano cruise and guided Bre village art stops, all for $26.55 in about 4.5 hours.
“Wandering the streets of Bre and seeing the artwork, the wash trough and Wilhelm Schmidt's house now a museum. Our guide Katerina was able to present facts about being raised in Bre. The views from the terrace of the restaurant at the end of the funicular were splendid. Funicular is steep and hot.”
Enjoy a guided Olive Tree Trail walk to Gandria, wander a car-free village, then cruise back on Lake Lugano by boat.
“This was a great look at the Olive Tree Trail and Gandria. The walk was beautiful. Time in Gandria was nice. Enjoyed beautiful lunch on the lake. The boat ride back stops at all the locations on the lake and gives a great perspective of the area.”
Guided Lugano walk to LAC and Santa Maria degli Angeli, then funicular up Monte San Salvatore for 360 lake views.
“Stunning views at the top and while getting there. The guides information added to the experience. A trip to the top of San Salvatore is not to be missed.”
A fast, small-group walk through Lugano with a local guide, covering cathedral, piazza, shopping streets, and Parco Ciani.
“Florane was knowledgeable and tailored the tour to what our group of 6 was interested in. We asked for an hour-long overview of the city since we were there for an afternoon day trip. We enjoyed our time with her.”
Private Lugano Mountains tour from Milan with pickup, Froda waterfall walks, Ponte dei salti over Ticino, and Ascona by Lake Maggiore.
“It was an awesome day trip. Giorgio was such a wonderful guide. He really took good care of us. I highly recommend this trip with Giorgio.”
Spend 2 hours at Zoo al Maglio in Ticino, home to 500+ animals, lion-side picnics, kids’ fun, and sustainability efforts. Easy by train.
“Parco davvero molto bello per quanto piccolino, ci tornerei volentieri e molto ben organizzato, con animatori, per famiglie con bimbi. Bel posto per passare una giornata fuori dalla città e sentirsi nella natura”
Private Lugano and Morcote tour with fresco churches, lake views, and optional Parco Scherrer, about 4 hours from Lugano.
“Lugano and Morcote are both pretty towns which you will know better with this tour. Our guide was Giorgio who was knowledgeable and entertaining. He even took us to the St. Salvatore fonicular at the end of the tour and we went on our own.”
License-free 1-hour boat rental on Lake Lugano from central Lugano. Fuel included, up to 5 people per group, at $168.
“Es gab gar keine Bootsfahrt ! Keine Hinweise, keine Uhrzeiten, nichts ! Schlechter geht’s nicht ! Ich will mein Geld zurück, weil es keine Leistung gab ! Viel wertvolle Zeit vergeudet !”
Solve Galileo puzzles on a 2.5-hour Foxtrail in Lugano, climbing from Piazzale Stazione to a funicular ride and city-center finish.
“The Foxtrail was disappointing compared to other cities. Walk to the puzzles was ok, so were the puzzles themselves. But too expensive for what was offered. No public transport, only 2 items that need "maintenance". We like to do another Foxtrail but not in Lugano. There are other offers for less money. Too badAuto-translated”
Guided walk from Lugano to Gandria via the Olive Trail, with history stops and a relaxing boat ride back on Lake Lugano.
“This tour was great value. Our guide had exceptional knowledge on the area and its history, a tour well worth doing.”
Splash e Spa Tamaro in Ticino, Switzerland, for 4 hours of 7 slides, a 1-meter wave pool, warm pools, and family hammam options.
“Conosco questa spa, sapevo già che fosse bella, è stato inutile comprare i biglietti attraverso questa piattaforma perché pensavo ci fosse uno sconto invece non era chiaro che il prezzo era più basso perché non comprendeva una parte di spa”
Every kind of Swiss day out, and the best of each.
