Piazza Grande, Locarno

Highlight • Settlement

The Piazza Grande with its arcades is one of the largest and most famous city squares in Switzerland. The pulsating meeting place of Locarno. Stroll under the famous arcades, enjoy a coffee or lunch while shopping and have a varied day!
This meeting place and the pulsating heart of the city is where business and cultural life takes place; the weekly market on Thursday, the Moon & Stars concerts in July and the evening film screenings during the film festival in August.

The weekly market is on Thursdays from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m.

Historic Centre of Locarno

Highlight • Historical Site

The city is very sophisticated and still shows remnants of the old, elegant times. Nice coffees and restaurants. There is always a market on Saturday with a wide range of offerings.
Flea markets can be found very easily on the website. If you are lucky enough to be there, definitely go through it.
The small streets hide small shops with goods that don't come off the shelf. It's worth wandering through!

Ascona Lakeside Promenade

Highlight • Viewpoint

The scenery that opens up to you when you first look at the lake promenade in Ascona is stunning. Typical brightly painted houses make the former fishing village a very special place with a Mediterranean flair, which invites you to relax, stroll or enjoy a magnificent sunset over the lake.

Last trip to Ticino, another night walk to Ascona (not a car name!), I had to enjoy the feeling of a perfect world one last time, even though I don't usually like taking night photos, there was still so much to see, a wonderful time and always recommended 💯💯💯💯💯
