| Locarno | Ferry day passes Posted: Sat November 7, 2009 12:15 AM UTC
My wife and I plan on staying in Locarno in early September, 2010. I can find a lot of general information about ferries, but not much specific about fares, passes, areas. My questions are:
1- Are there ferry passes available that are good for several of the lakes i.e. Maggiore, Como, etc. ? 2- Are there passes that are good for the ferries portions of travel both in Italy and Switzerland? 3-Where can I find info on number of days and costs of the passes? 4-Any recommendations for traveling to the most scenic spots on the lakes and minimizing car driving time?? Thanks in advance for info and your time to respond. Bob |

| Locarno | Name that Statue Posted: Thu July 23, 2009 12:39 PM UTC
On an all too brief visit to Locarno a month ago, I photographed a large statue near to or in the gardens adjoining the lake shore - and within walking distance of the railway station - and would like to know what it is about and to whom dedicated. It is in grey granite (?) with a Toscanini-like figure apparently reading from a scroll and surmounting a deep plinth, on which are a succession of human figures. I hope this brief description will serve to identify it. My photograph is good and clear but the inscriptions do not seem readable. Thank you.I liked Locarno and my train journey through CentoValli but I doubt I shall much longer be able to travel in Switzerland/Italy

| Cantone Ticino | 4 days in Ticino Posted: Mon April 14, 2008 12:35 AM UTC
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. |

| Lugano | Best hotels overlooking lake lugano Posted: Thu September 6, 2007 11:14 PM UTC
Hi
this area is very unknown to me. I'm from the uk and am planning to visit lugano in march 2008 as a surprise for my husband as he originates from a village nearby. I feel Lugano is the best place to stay just by browsing on the internet. I wanted to stay in a 5 star hotel with great views of the lakes. We're still relatively "young" (I think!!) so would prefer something not too formal but still 5 star. Any help would be greatly received. THank you |

I am self-employed and the budget is tight so I plan to stay at least overnight to justify the costs by having a romantic couple of days with my wife.I am starting from Cornwall so I have to get to an airport that has flights somewhere near. Can anyone suggest a straightforward route and somewhere near to Pallazzo to stay for a night?
Thanks. |

| Lugano | Lugano to Menaggio Posted: Thu April 12, 2007 03:16 PM UTC
Does anybody know how long it takes to get from Lugano (airport) to Menaggio? I'm seeing 18 kilometers from town to town but don't have any idea what buses run or how long they take. Is taxi an option and if so how much do they cost? It sounded like a lot of people commute from Menaggio to Lugano for work but I can't seem to find how long (time wise) that is.
Thanks, Mike P. |

| Lugano | Need area code and dialling instructions for Caslano Posted: Mon April 2, 2007 06:09 PM UTC
My sister is trying to locate friends who live in Caslano, and she has a phone number for them but is unable to reach them - I don't think she has the area code. Can someone please give me the area code for Caslano. To dial from the US I believe it is 011-41, the area code and then the phone number. If this is wrong, please give me the correct dialling info.
Thanks for any help. |

| Lugano | Visiting Switzerland - need a little direction Posted: Wed February 21, 2007 08:36 PM UTC
This will be our second time visiting Switzerland. Absolutely love it there! Our base will be near Interlaken. However, this time I really want to see Ticino, Lugano. I just love with pictures of the palm tress and the lake and mountains.
As we will be traveling there during the day and probably back in the evening, where do you think will be best places to go to see the best scenery, palm tree, lake and mountain combination. I heard there is a botanical garden there. We also love boating, parks, moderate hiking. Thanks so much for any help provided. Thank you! |

| Lugano | Lugano to Tirano Posted: Tue January 9, 2007 09:42 AM UTC
We wish to travel on the Bernina Express on Monday 21st May from Tirano to St. Moritz. I believe there is a bus from Lugano to Tirano which meets up with the train in Tirano. As we will be on Lake Como for the previous 3 days I need to know if the connecting bus, Lugano to Tirano, stops anywhere on Lake Como and if I can reserve a place on it and what it costs etc. I would be grateful if you would reply to my E Mail address. Thank you
