Switzerland's most popular.
The 8 most popular lugano tours. For each one: how the day runs, what it costs, and who you'll be booking with.
A skip-the-line ticket to Falconeria Locarno: sheltered seating, a 1-hour bird-of-prey show at 11am or 3pm, plus park time.
“A wonderful few hours, explanations in german and italian on the birds. Even an extra showman on a horse to close up. Worth another visit. Easy to get to by bus and then a short walk. Bathrooms, ice cream and restaurants on site.”
Lugano to Monte Brè by lake cruise and funicular, then a guided art walk through Brè village with top views of Ticino.
“Excellent tour. We enjoyed a short boat ride to where the funicular for Monte Bre begins. Our guide, Cristina, is incredible. As a local, she is well-informed of the area's history; she is also exceptionally engaging and enjoys questions and conversation. The funicular (in 2 parts) ends at a panoramic site near the mountain's top.…”
Guided Lugano to Monte San Salvatore with funicular views plus LAC and Santa Maria degli Angeli—small group, easy walking, great value.
“Meet inside the information center & know there are no restrooms in the office. Really enjoyed the tour. Got some history of Lugano & Switzerland before going on the funicular to get fantastic 360 views of the surrounding areas.”
Private Lugano Mountains day tour from Milan with waterfall walks, the Ponte dei salti, and a lakeside Ascona stop. 8 hours.
“Giorgio was great! Had a wonderful time visiting small charming towns in Switzerland, seeing the beautiful valley including the famous bridge and waterfalls.”
Private guided Lugano and Morcote tour with church frescos, lakeside views, and optional Parco Scherrer—walking plus car transfer.
“Lugano and Morcote are both pretty towns which you will know better with this tour. Our guide was Giorgio who was knowledgeable and entertaining. He even took us to the St. Salvatore fonicular at the end of the tour and we went on our own.”
Foxtrail Galileo in Lugano: a 2.5-hour puzzle walk from the station to city views, with an exclusive funicular and a green chest mystery.
“The Foxtrail was disappointing compared to other cities. Walk to the puzzles was ok, so were the puzzles themselves. But too expensive for what was offered. No public transport, only 2 items that need "maintenance". We like to do another Foxtrail but not in Lugano. There are other offers for less money. Too badAuto-translated”
Guided walk from Lugano to Gandria via the Olive Trail, with Parco Ciani and a return boat ride. English guide, great value.
“The guide was knowledgeable and friendly and we enjoyed the story of the path and the stories he told along the way!”
Private Lugano walking tour with Violetta: St. Lawrence Cathedral, Luini fresco church, Ciani Park, lake stroll and old-town alleys.
“Violetta is one of the most knowledgeable guides I’ve ever had. We toured Lugano one quiet Sunday morning and she made the city come alive for us.”
