About Lugano

Learn more about the host city, Lugano.

Lugano is a lakeside city in Ticino, the Italian-speaking part of southern Switzerland, and is the largest Italian-speaking city in Switzerland and outside Italy. Part of a temperate micro-climate, Lugano offers palm trees, picturesque boulevards, stunning views of the lake and the Alps, and plenty of opportunity for outdoor and indoor activities. It is the economic center of Ticino and the third-largest banking center in the country. Lugano is the unofficial capital of Ticino, even though the cantonal government is based in Bellinzona. Lugano also makes a good base for visiting other cities and sites in the area. The city is a pleasant place to relax in the summertime and is only half an hour away from Lake Como.
