    Take the cable cart to the top of the hill - St.

    Take the cable cart to the top of the hill - St. Salvatore and if you have good weather - there awaits you and this is not an exaggeration by any means - one of the most amazing views I have ever seen in my life. Also we took a boat ride along the lake, which without any discount is about 40CHF for 2 hours ride, which is also very nice. There is a half tax discount if you have it for Switzerland. Miniature museum is nice as well. Lugano over all I think will stay in my heart :)

    2 nights would have been sufficient for us. We took a day trip to Bellinzona and visited most of the popular attractions and had time to spare. We are not shoppers or people who like to hang out next to a pool and relax. If you are that type of person, the lake is beautiful and the shopping options are abundant.

So Many points of interest to see, we unfortunately didn’t have time to do it all, but we enjoyed taking the funicular to Monte Bre, boat excursion to Melide, train to Bellizone to see the castles… Guess we’ll need to come back to see the rest!

    The staff and the owner of the hotel are very helpful and they upgrade the room once they know that the Wifi is not good in our reserved room. The location in Paradiso is highly appreciated. The location is very close to the train station. It saves time and money to go to different important places like Monte San Salvatore, Swissmanutour, lake toures,.... The room was comfortable with a perfect balcony but the pillows has to be less soft. When I will go back to lugano I will reserve again a room in this hotel.

    Nice hotel above Lugano, yet easily reachable via the furnicular at the train station. Bright and sunny room overlooking the lake, with balcony (shared with room next door). Firm bed. Excellent lighting, but a bit difficult to figure out. Ample closet space. Very functional bathroom. Breakfast delicious.
