Ticino Tourism

Via Nassa is one of Lugano's historical streets - its particular and sophisticated shops will accompany you in your shopping. Shopping in ancient Ticino was rather limited. At least if compared to today's possibilities. In 1800 the basic staples were pasta, rice, oil and candles for lighting, Marseilles soap, clothing and shoes. Wool was often spun at home and produced by one's own sheep; cloth was made from hemp and flax.

Beautiful scenery can be truly moving, stirring deep-seated emotions and feelings of unity and oneness. From the top of Mount San Salvatore, the views are especially impressive and magnificent, extending 360 degrees. Offering an exclusive mountaintop location and the very latest technology, the multi-purpose rooms can accommodate between 6 and 100 people for meetings, seminars, conferences, VIP events and workshops. Their high-tech capabilities ensure they cater to every possible meeting and conference requirement.

Lugano’s elegant and modern Convention Centre is centrally located, close to the heart of the city’s financial and recreational facilities and right next to the splendid municipal park, Parco Ciani and the lakeshore. The centre is located within easy walking distance of many hotels, shops and attractions. Ideal for all kinds of events, it is equipped with the most modern technology and fully air-conditioned. An amphitheatre for 1,130 persons with a fixed stage, break-out rooms with dividing walls, a banquet room for 850 persons and a large exhibition area (1,350 + 830 m²) offer the ideal location for meetings, workshops, seminars, conventions, banquets, exhibitions and shows.
