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.

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

I would recommend Lugano, Switzerland for the beautiful places it has, specially if you find someone to show you around,I was lucky enough to have a friend who took me there and done a trip on the mountains, the view towards the lake was spectacular! The food also very good!

I’m from a little town in Switzerland and trust me, it’s as peaceful as it sounds! Especially Lugano, which is super safe, so don’t worry girls, you’re in good hands here 😉I love showing people around and sharing local spots that only the locals know

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 🎀💛
