Christmas markets, lively chalets, warm tastes and the warmth of friendship and family: all this is ready and waiting for you during the warmest time of the year in the warmest region of Switzerland: Christmas in the Lugano region.
Lugano
A city with a lively spirit, festively illuminated by candles and plays of light, between the streets of the city centre and the Parco Ciani, culminating in the Christmas market and the chalets on the Piazza Riforma: in December, the majestic tree is lit up in all its beauty, surrounded by a characteristic Christmas market, where you can smell the scent of cinnamon and mulled wine, while your eyes admire the magic of the Christmas lights adorning the buildings.
Experience the magic of Christmas in typical Lugano style, amidst festive markets, lively cafés and colourful lights. Vin brûle, raclette, sparkling wine: everything you need to spend a cheerful evening in the company of friends and loved ones.
The Christmas atmosphere becomes even more magical in the enchanted forest of Parco Ciani, where among brightly lit paths, glittering trees and decorated flowerbeds adults and children alike can go on a discovery tour of evocative glimpses of nature in the middle of the city centre, between the city centre streets and the lake.
Piazza Riforma comes alive to toast the New Year at the stroke of midnight. The people of Lugano, the Ticino inhabitants and festive visitors will greet 2023 and welcome 2024 in the special setting of Lugano's main square.
