Ticino tourism feels like a slice of Italy inside Switzerland, with palm trees, piazzas, espresso bars and sunshine beyond the Alps. Italian is the first language, and the lakes of Lugano and Maggiore sparkle beneath green mountains.Lugano is the canton’s largest city, Locarno and Ascona share a mild lakeside climate, and Bellinzona boasts three UNESCO-listed castles. The Verzasca Valley’s emerald river and the villages of Morcote are further highlights. Ticino is excellent in spring and early autumn, and summer is warm enough for lake swimming. Plan three to four nights, and travel through the Gotthard base tunnel by train.
