Lugano (July 21-July 24, 2011)

We made a stopover in Lugano, Switzerland on our way from Venice to Lucerne. Located in the Italian-speaking region of southern Switzerland, it’s a small, picturesque town situated on the shores of beautiful Lake Lugano in the lake-dotted southern foothills of the Swiss Alps (famous neighbors include Lake Como and Lake Maggiore). We spent our short time here exploring the town, swimming, and hiking back to town after taking a ‘funicolare’ to the top of Monte San Salvatore (912m) for fabulous views of the lake and surrounding mountains (we could even see as far as Milan).
