Lugano is a so safe place, it looks like Milan but it's much more safe, u don't have to worry about getting robbed or anything, u can leave the door of ur house open and nothing will happen probably 🎀💛
Posted: May 14, 2025I grew up here and I could say that walking alone at night isn’t scary. Still, it would be better for women to be in a group of people, because you never know what could happen. Overall I think it’s pretty safe and crimes happen rarely

Lugano is a city that is very much controlled in every way, especially in terms of security. I was born there and personally, I have never had any problems or fear of being harassed or robbed. Also because there is always someone around or who hears you and is ready to help in such cases. I hope I can convey the same sense of security to you.

It’s a small city, very beautiful in the summer. A lot of public transposition to get to wherever you want but you can also walk almost everywhere. Very safe and there is a very reliable police sistem

I spent four weeks in Lugano while working in a nearby little town and absolutely loved the atmosphere. Lugano feels safe, especially when in a group. I wouldn’t recommend walking alone late at night near the bar or pier areas, but overall, the city has a relaxed, welcoming vibe. One of the highlights was renting boats with friends—we had four in total and even swam in the lake. While there isn't a ton of formal sightseeing, just walking around the city is enjoyable. It's definitely a place to soak up the scenery and vibes. Food is on the expensive side, but there are a few great spots for more budget-friendly eats. Rice Go is a solid takeout option with good portions (don’t forget to ask for cutlery!), and -9 serves excellent ice cream. Argentino’s was also a favorite for pizza. We stayed in Collina d’Oro and took the bus into Lugano—it was easy to navigate, and walking around the lake area was simple and scenic. On average, I spent around 50 CHF per day just on food. Overall, Lugano is a great destination for a relaxed, scenic getaway—especially in the summer. Perfect for groups, with just enough adventure and a stunning lakeside setting.

We went to the concert of Einaudi. It was beautifull. City also. It’s not so easy to find places for swimming. You have a little beach. The enviroment is beautifull. In half an hour you are in Italy & you can visit another lake
