  • There are some typical Italian style food shops here with a wide selection of Italian goodies. Whether you fancy pasta, sauces, fruit, salami, panetone or even outrageously expensive truffles, you won't leave empty handed for sure! The shops are a very pleasing eyesight and very popular for taking pictures. If you are there during lunch time, you may want to buy a snack over the counter and sit in the park or by the fountain on a bench and enjoy what's going on.

    il fornaio: rare local food products
  • Tip Rating:
  • it's a tiny colurful shop - one of the tiniest in fact - but it still manages to sell about 100 different types of bread from all over switzerland. What else? There's a large selection of cheeses, especially rare delicious one

    bread and cheese in particular - but also fresh vegetables and fruits. For cheese, try to ask if they have the "Piora". it's one of the bet local mountain cheeses

    about 5 Sfr for a sandwich

    Ponte Treste Market: Better and Cheaper Across the Border
  • Tip Rating:
  • This is an Italian market. They sell food as well as everything from clothing to birds and flowers. Most things are cheaper and the food is very food.

    Buy Parmesian Regino. You have a choice of the one year, two year or three year varity.

    You will pay half of what you pay for it in Lugano.

    APERTO: Open Daily at the Train Station
  • Tip Rating:
  • The shop is open daily from 6:00am to 10:00pm. Although more expensive than Manor, it is open on Sundays when nothing else is open.

    The bread is very good here and they sell wine at a premium of 50% over other stores like Manor. They sell some fruit, vegetable and cheese in addition to almost everything else.

    This is located in the town center of Lugano. It has sausages hanging outside like jewelry.

    Everything here is very good, but the fact that they deliver makes it much better.

    Depends on what you buy and in what quanities.

    Lugano is a shopping paradise... for the very rich! I'd never seen so many jewellers and watch shops in such a small area and if you have the money, there are many beautiful things to choose from. Even if you're not planning to buy, enjoy the fabulous window displays.

    Centro Lugano Sud: Different stores
    A big shopping center just few minutes outside Lugano. Lot of different stores like IKEA and MEDIAMARKT. At the top floor you will also find a Swedish restaurant owned by IKEA, with delicious food, a place to rest a eat something after your shopping or maybe just in the middle of the shopping. Also a big multimedia store, MEDIAMARKT is available at the second floor. A big parking is available at the ground floor, if you are going there by car i suggest to arrive early in the morning, the center is really full of people during the Sathurday and on Thursday evening, so if you are late, you will probably have troubles finding a place to park your car. OPENING HOURS: MONDAY - FRIDAY 09.00 - 18.30 THURSDAY 09.00 - 21.00 SATHURDAY 09.00 - 18.00
