Description:

For a change of pace from the hustle and bustle of Milan, head across the border into Switzerland for a day of serenity in the chic city of Lugano. Enjoy a cruise along the scenic lake with views of the Alps, hop aboard a funicular, and explore luxury boutiques lining the elegant Via Nassa.

During your 90-minute drive across the border, your guide shares background information on Lugano and gives you a run-down on the day’s activities to come. Upon arrival, enjoy an introduction to the pristine city center—Lugano is known as the “Monte Carlo of Switzerland.” Stroll through the pedestrian streets and into the lush gardens of Ciani Park, and make your way down to the lakefront for wonderful views of the mountains that frame the city.

Get an even closer look at this charming natural setting as you cruise along Lake Lugano and capture incredible photos of the snow-capped peaks in the distance. After some free time for lunch, take a funicular ride to San Salvatore Mountain, and marvel at the astonishing views across the region.

The afternoon is yours to do as you please. Wander through the charming city, maybe picking up some authentic Swiss chocolate as a souvenir, popping into the town's luxury boutiques, or enjoying a peaceful stroll on the lakeside promenade before your return to Milan.
