Summer Break in Lugano

Imagine sipping a glass of champagne to the sound of soul stomping jazz and blues while enjoying a wonderful view on the lake of Lugano.

The Ticino region and in particular the city of Lugano is incredibly beautiful during the summer. The balmy Mediterranean climate, lush vegetation, majestic mountains and spectacular lake, all make the destination an ideal place to spend an exclusive holiday.

As if the natural stage wasn’t enough, the summer season in Lugano is filled with exciting events, open air live music, theatre and dance. There is something to satisfy everyone!

The “Blues to Bop” event will take place later in the summer and for three nights Lugano becomes a great open-air theatre, offering more than 60 hours of free, live music on 4 different stages. The event will also take place in Morcote for an evening.

In Locarno, just 40 minutes from Lugano the “Moon and Stars” event will host 10 days of pop-rock music in one of the most spectacular squares of Europe: Piazza Grande in Locarno.
