The biggest city on the sunny side of Switzerland may
be one of the country’s most important financial centres,
but by no means everything in the Lugano region revolves
around banks and business.
With its Mediterranean
atmosphere, this is a place for strolling: through
lush parks and gardens full of flowers, past impressive
villas and churches, and along the shore of the shimmering
blue lake. And for sipping, under the southern sun, a
glass of Merlot – the wine that accounts for 90% of local
production. Best place to do this is in the shady garden
of a typical Ticino inn – or grotto – where the wine is
served in an earthenware boccalino, and local delicacies
enjoyed at outdoor granite tables: goat’s cheese, salami
and mortadella, minestrone and polenta or risotto.
What a life!
