Lugano ⎯ Experience the Festival
Participating in the LongLake Festival certainly offers the chance to discover not only Lake Lugano and its highlights, but also the city centre.
Here you will find lidos, shops, bars, restaurants, museums and art galleries for an all-round experience.
For nature lovers, just a stone’s throw from the centre, Monte San Salvatore and Monte Brè offer breath-taking scenery. Don’t be alarmed, if you don’t feel up to going up on foot, there is a convenient funicular railway to reach both summits.
