Lugano offers a wide and varied range of reasons for wanting to visit. Much of its touristic renown derives from its temperate climate, favoured by the presence of the lake, mild seasons and by a high percentage of bright sunny days. The safeguard of its territory and the beauty of its landscape equally subdivided among mountains, hills and plains guarantee great conditions for staying here in any season of the year: from mountain hiking to swimming in the waters of the lake and swimming pools, to practicing all kinds of sports, from walking excursions to economic and financial activities and shopping.
