Lugano in every Season

Easter bonfires in spring and, as summer approaches, the buds on the trees turn into leaves in all shades of green, boosting you to enjoy boat trips and picnic in the city parks. In autumn these colours are transformed into brilliant red, orange and yellow foliage until the winter blizzards cover the trees under a layer of snow, being the perfect scenario for Christmas markets.

A trip to the Region of Lugano is always worthwhile! Because there is always something going on: there are numerous events taking place every day. Just get here and you'll find the right event already waiting for you.
