Cantone Ticino Travel Forum

Hi!

I'll be in Ticino in June for 4 days (full days) but I need some help cause I still couldn't figure out if I should to stay in Locarno or in Lugano.
My main concern is that I will have to rely on public transports, probably using the Locarno or Lugano Regional Pass. Therefore I will have to choose whether I should focus more on the region around Locarno or around Lugano.

What option should I choose regarding that for this trip my main interests would be sightseeing, natural scenery, bathing and some hiking???

I have thought about the following itineraries:

Staying in Locarno:
Day 1 - Locarno
Day 2 - Ascona, Bellinzona
Day 3 - Val Verzasca
Day 4 - Lugano

Staying in Lugano:
Day 1 - Lugano
Day 2 - Around Lugano
Day 3 - Val Verzasca
Day 4 - Locarno, Ascona, Bellinzona

Are these itineraries feasible? Am I missing some place?

Thanks in advance.

I will suggest staying in Lugano. It's far much nicer than Locarno, more animated I should start from ther around the lake to Locarno.Belinzzona area is also beautiful.

Hey there,

I live in Lugano, if you need some help, don't hesitate to contact me through PM, i'll see if i'm in the country or abroad for business.

But as menthioned early i would choose Lugano to stay...
