Arrive in Lugano — the Italian-speaking Swiss city on a subtropical lake — with a private fixed-price transfer from Frankfurt Airport (FRA).

Lugano is Switzerland with palm trees — the largest city in Ticino, Italian in language and cooking, Swiss in banking and punctuality. The lake promenade runs under Monte Brè and Monte San Salvatore, both served by funiculars, and the LAC arts centre gave the city a serious concert and gallery venue. Como is 30 minutes south, Milan an hour, which makes Lugano a common base for travellers who want the lakes without the Italian traffic.

Ticino runs several degrees warmer than the rest of Switzerland, so the season stretches from April to October with the Estival Jazz weekend in July as a peak. Autumn brings the grotto season and chestnut festivals. The Gotthard tunnel keeps the approach open all winter, but southbound Friday traffic in summer deserves an extra hour.
