LUGANO, SWITZERLAND! http://www.aace.org/conf/Cities/Lugano The Italian flair of Switzerland. The Mediterranean region seems to
begin
on the southern side of the Alps. There is a feel of Italy, with palm trees at clean beaches and lanes and alleyways leading to piazzas and
churches.
But the Alps are always close by. Mountain tours that start in snow,
ice
and rock, end in balmy chestnut forests. Gentian blooming on Alpine pastures and wooded hills rising to high peaks on the shores of
Ticino's
lakes contrast with rich camellia on lakeshore promenades. If you want
la
dolce vita, search no more - it is waiting for you in the numerous sub-tropical parks and gardens. If you crave excitement, take a
whitewater
ride. And if you prefer cultural pursuits, they're available at every turn; romantic landscapes have always attracted poets and artists and
inspired
architects to dream up daring constructions - often based on ancient architectural tradition. A rich blend of past and future, north and
south,
mountains and plains, nature and culture, city and country - that's
Ticino
in a nutshell.
In the past decades, the City of Lugano has become a renowned holiday resort that attracts tourists each year from all over the world. Its
mild
climate together with the beauty of its natural assets make the City
an
ideal place where you can spend a delightful holiday. The City also
offers
a wide range of leisure activities, such as water sports, golf, free climbing, tennis, cultural events, such as music festivals,
exhibitions,
and shops of all kinds. Here the visitor can explore Lugano's history
and
tradition. Numerous classical and modern jazz concerts are held every
year
and have become extraordinarily popular. The world-renowned Thyssen-Bornemisza art collection can be viewed at the Villa Favorita, directly on the lake. Also the church of Santa Maria degli Angioli and
the
cathedral San Lorenzo are well worth a visit. Add to your list visits
to
the Villa Heleneum museum, which exhibits the impressive Sergio
Brignoni
collection, the renovation of Ciani Villa and, last but not least, the Historical museum in Saroli Villa. The exhibitions of visual arts at
the
Malpensata Villa, home to the Museum of Modern Art, represent a significant feature of the City's cultural scene.
A must for all tourists, the beautiful Lugano Lake is extremely
versatile,
and the best way to see its many characteristics is from a boat. For
truly
superb views of its magnificent scenery take a rack-railway or
funicular
to Monte Generoso, Monte Bré or Monte San Salvatore. Ciani Park is
situated
by the lake and near the busy centre of Lugano. It is believed to be one
of
the most beautiful parks in Switzerland and subsequently attracts many tourists. Enormous trees,charming winding pathways and a stunning
array of
flowers characterize the park. Nestled between San Salvatore and Monte Bré, the town is often referred to as "the pearl on Lake Lugano." Reaching
up
the hillside on a bed of terraces, the old town has many historical buildings. For those who prefer a little more action and excitement,
the
place to go is Palazzo di Riforma. Vibrant and very lively, this is
the
pulsating heart of the town.
There are many shops and boutiques. Here elegant, there quaint, and
all
friendly and within easy access along the Via Nasa and its side
streets.
Everything has been provided to ensure the expectant tourist's immense satisfaction. Shopping should be high on the agenda of any visit to Switzerland, and there are some things that you just can't go past.
Such
as the melt-in-your-mouth delight of Swiss chocolate. It's no accident
that
the Swiss have the highest rate of chocolate consumption in the world
-
with such a vast array of exquisite temptations available, how could
they
possibly resist? And it's also something more than a coincidence that
high
quality watches and pocket knives are often preceded with the word "Swiss." Neatly situated between France and Italy, Switzerland is right in the heart of the worldwide hub of high fashion. Exclusive boutiques abound with
the
latest creations of leading designers from Paris and Milan - the
world's
unparalleled style capitals. Some of Switzerland's most notable
boutiques
can be found on Zurich's infamous Bahnhofstrasse. Another popular
shopping
precinct is in the medieval arcades of Berne, where old cellar vaults house specialty antique stores, traditional cake cafes and nostalgic
old-town
curios. The arcades also provide a good selection of designer fashion, watches, jewelry and modern luxuries. A special Swiss shopping
experience
is a visit to one of the colorful and eclectic street markets, with offerings of local produce and handcrafted treasures.
Visit one of the small secluded fishing villages scattered along the
lake,
such as Gandria or Morcate; all quaintly picturesque. Take a seat at
one
of the friendly local restaurants. Under a vine-covered garden terrace,
this
is an idyllic setting to sip a cool glass of wine while enjoying the
local
fish specialities, the glorious scenery and the exquisite ambience.
Most
of Ticino's restaurants are in the tradition of the great Italian cuisine
and
are often featured in restaurants' guides for recognition of
excellence.
Restaurants in Ticino are not strictly elitist gastronomy. "Grotti"
style
restaurants offer fantastic regional dishes as well as regional wines.Lugano also offers a wide range of international cuisine.
A town with a Latin temperament. The perfect venue for sitting beneath swaying palms and whispering cypress trees. Lugano is an ideal
location
