Several nice places to visit and a great city to walk around.
4/5 - Good

Lugano is a modern Swiss city surrounded by beautiful lakes and mountains, all very well tended, in the Swiss tradition. It is a rich town, less of an attraction in its own right than for the area in which it is. Italy is but a stone's throw.
