Experience Details

Prepare yourself for an extraordinary journey immersing yourself in the life of Lugano to learn about its culture and history, away from the hustle and bustle of daytime, when the nocturnal charm settles in, and all streets and landmarks are beautifully illuminated to give a more captivating appeal to all your surroundings.


Meet your guide at Piazza Luini and continue towards Piazza della Riforma. The area comes alive at night, attracting locals and tourists alike to its heritage buildings which have been transformed into a variety of lively bars & restaurants.


Admire the majestic facade of San Lorenzo Cathedral, beautifully lit up and follow your guide through Via Nessa, one of the world's most exclusive luxury streets of Lugano and enjoy Via Pessina, a favorite place for foodies.


The gorgeous Waterfront is only a few steps away. After all this walking, we'll have one final stop: a well-deserved aperitivo at a lovely wine bar to watch the sunset and create a memorable experience.
