We went to Lugano, Switzerland, for three days in January to see friends who turned out later not to be friends. Americans, no less. So, my recollections of Lugano may be tinged with a little cynicism and disappointment. But the photos are pretty. Top to bottom...the far Lake shore sparkling at night; the near Lake front by day; Angel on our balcony; and a beautiful atmospheric shot taken by Angel.
Lugano itself was not too exciting. Three big things to do....walk along the lake, go (window) shopping at the myriad of watch shops, ride the funiculare (cable railway) up the steep hills. That town is sparkling clean, the architecture is all right angles, the atmosphere is correct and quiet. It made me long for the colorful messiness that is Verona. There seem to be no contradictions in Lugano.
We stayed at the Hotel Walter in a top floor room with a balcony. So our views of Lake Lugano were spectacular.
