The first thing you'll notice about Lugano is that the views are stunning! This fashionable city lies in the Swiss canton of Ticino where it graces the lakeshore with its tree-lined promenade, stately hotels, banks, and churches; while high above, Mount San Salvatore and Mount Brè flank the city and provide stunning forested backdrops that frame charming mountain top villages. Taken from Milan by the Swiss in 1512, it was ruled as a subject district until the dissolution of the old Swiss Confederation in 1798.
Combine these two swiss cities with a Rental Car for exploring on your own. Visit Zurich (a pre-medieval and picturesque city full of intimate streets, museums, and set on a stunning lake. Zurich is famous for luxurious lifestyles, high-end shopping, and fancy chocolates) and Lugano (famous for its beautiful quasi-Mediterranean scenery, its Film Festival, and for being the residence of the Nobel Prize winner, Hermann Hesse). Drive back to Zurich for one last stay, before returning home. This is a flexible package. Select your number of nights in each city, desired hotel and activities.
