Creator's Key Takeaways

I only had the rest of this day and the following to explore Lugano with limited time I narrowed my touring to five things to see and do

it was a lovely hour-long boat ride that surprisingly stopped about four times to pick up and drop off passengers so we didn't go very far but it was all quite beautiful

the views going up were nice but you had to peek through people to see however what's off the scenery took your breath away it was spectacular

Lugano is truly a beautiful and picturesque Town

Creator's Tips & Advice

✓Do some research on different types of lake cruises that drop people off and pick people up along the shoreline
✓Highly recommend the late afternoon cruise for especially beautiful views
✓Plan on spending at least a half day at Mount Bre due to the slow funicular process
✓If you have a plan to hike a specific trail, do some research beforehand and plan time to decipher the trail map
✓If you are a shopper, know that stores are closed on Sundays

On a solo trip to Lugano, Switzerland, I spent about 36 hrs touring the area. I focused on five things to see and do, including a boat cruise on Lake Lugano, the funicular ride up to the top of Mt. Bre, a visit to Parco Ciani, wandering the streets of the Via Nassa, and eating the northern Italian specialty of gnocchi! @seniorsolotravel Travel Facebook Forum: https://www.facebook.com/groups/443309331791413 Senior Solo Travel Website: https://www.seniorsolotravel.net/ Funicular to Mt.
