Intro

Christmas markets, light shows, an enchanted forest and happy faces everywhere: Christmas time in Lugano is festive, lively and full of enjoyment.

Lugano is beautiful in the run-up to Christmas: light shows and illuminations between the streets and Parco Ciani, plus the Christmas market with its huts in Piazza Riforma. A majestic tree in the middle, surrounded by the scent of cinnamon and mulled wine.

Festive markets, lively cafés and colorful lights: this is the perfect Advent in Lugano. Enjoy mulled wine, proescco or raclette. 

The Christmas atmosphere is even more magical in the enchanted forest of Parco Ciani. Here, adults and children can go on a discovery tour through the atmospheric nature in the middle of the city center, between the streets of the city center and the lake, between illuminated paths, glittering trees and decorated flowerbeds.
