The lovely city of Lugano, Switzerland, lies at the edge of Lake Lugano and is surrounded by mountains, many of which offer cable cars or tourist trains to their peaks for fantastic, panoramic views of the city and the water. Rent bikes to cycle around the lake, or simply take a leisurely stroll along the tree-lined walkway. You might also enjoy a boat tour on the lake. Lugano enjoys a Mediterranean climate, so, in general, you can count on temperate weather to enjoy sightseeing and outdoor activities.
