Locarno – Switzerland with an Italian Twist

Locarno brings the sunshine! Nestled on Lake Maggiore, this is where Switzerland meets Italy in the best way—palm trees, piazzas, and gelato galore

Piazza Grande – The heart of the town, perfect for people-watching and grabbing a gelato. If you’re lucky, there might be a festival happening!

Madonna del Sasso – A stunning sanctuary perched above the city with incredible lake and mountain views. Take the funicular up for extra fun!

Lake Maggiore – Hop on a boat to the gorgeous Brissago Islands or just relax by the water. Perfect for a swim in the summer!

Verzasca Valley – If you’re up for a short trip, this valley is magical—emerald-green waters, charming stone villages, and even the famous James Bond bungee jump from GoldenEye.

Locarno Film Festival (August) – If you’re visiting in summer, don’t miss this world-famous outdoor film fest under the stars.

Locarno is all about good vibes, great food, and stunning views. Get ready to slow down, sip an Aperol Spritz, and enjoy!
