Places To Be

In the center of the capital of Ticino, on the mighty valley rock, Castelgrande presides over the city. It was meticulously restored in the 1990s. If you want to taste some good wine and cheese after a stroll around the Piazza Collegiata, you will find in a grass-covered protrusion of the castle wall an updated version of a grotto.

Favorite meeting point during the Aperitif hour at the foot of Castelgrande with a terrace and fountain, designed by Aurelio Galfetti. Classical bar with Italian Flair.

Traditional meeting point of business people, politicians and craftsmen in the romantic lane Old Town.

Municipal leisure park with minigolf course, children's playground, Boccia course and granite tables under linden trees.

A gathering point of the city's youth in the center of the city in a small version of Milan's Galleria Vittorio Emanuele. Here a church stood at one time, subsequently is was the provisional first venue of the Cantonal Parliament.
