Attractions

Our home exchange - places to go and things to do while staying in our home

You can walk downtown within 15 minutes without traffic. Bus takes you to centre within 7 minutes. Downtown you will find everything what you expect in an Swiss town with Italian flair. If you are interested in an Outlet you may go to Foxtown in Mendrisio ( 15 min. S-Bahn to Mendrisio, open every day form 11am ). There you will find more brand shops than you can watch within two full days. You can climb on our two backyard mountains, the Mt Bre and the Mt Salvatore or you may go comfortably by cable car on the mountaintop. On both of the tops is a nice restaurant with beautiful view, on a clear day up to the Monte Rosa Group 4600m. A ship will bring you during the summertime to all the little towns at the lake. Our favourite building of the famous architect Botta is the chapel on the Mt. Tamaro, but you fill find a lot of buildings from Botta and his students in and around the town. In summertime Lugano organizes a Jazz - Blues festival. With a little train you can go in 20 Minutes to the Italian market in Ponte Tresa on Saturdays. If you want to visit a huge Italian market, you have to go on Wednesday from Ponte Tresa further to Luino, which is at the Lago Maggiore. Our personal main attraction is walking in the beautiful nature and visit the towns around here. After 30 years in Lugano, we still are exploring new places. We have put together a booklet with our favourite places with photos and plans. You will find it on the table when you arrive.

Our Preferences

Our home exchange - here are our Preferences and House Rules

We aren't beach potatoes and like big cities and foreign cultures. We have TV but prefer to watch films with the beamer of our home cinema. A permant Internet connection is important for us. Our DVDs are in English, German and Italian. To be in walking distance from any kind of public traffic is good for us.

Our neighbours in the house are quiet people and don't disturb us with loud music - so don't we. There shouldn't be washing in the balcony, and never put stuff in front of the entrance door. The housewifes keep the common used washkitchen painstakingly clean.
