laeside promenade in muralto
by call_me_rhia
off the beaten path? on the beaten path?? I'm quite unsure about this.. this walk is probably more off the beaten path for locals and budget travellers than for visitors. Many expensive hotels are located in this area - while the cheaper ones are located in the old town centre - so not everyone gets around to take a walk by the lake here - and yet it's one of the most charming walks one could take while in town: it's very green - peaceful - and there are a lot of statues, flowers and swans. So come walking here...
Piazza Grande
by barbskie
Parks and squares are not rare. The most popular here is the Piazza Grande, the meeting place in the heart of the town. The commercial area, concerts and events takes place here and the weekly market on Thursdays. In the month of August, the evening screenings for the film festival is held here.
I LOVE this place!

"A place where I could live"
As a huge fan of Italy, I was very intrigued by this Italian region of Switzerland, and the Ticino does not disappoint. I have come to think of it as Italy-lite, with all of the things I love about Italy (the warmth, enthusiasm, rich language, love of life and food...) and none of the inconveniences (train strikes, unexpected closures, laundry hanging out of windows).
