We go by train, boat, on foot and funicolare to show you many great sites including Swiss Miniatur, with small models of Swiss buildings in a park setting, and the Alprose chocolate factory.
The historic center of Lugano is famous for arcades that line both sides of the street forming covered sidewalk areas with a calm and sheltered environment, protecting you from the rain and sun.
This style of columns and arches is reminiscent of Italian architecture -- after all, we are right next to Italy here in Lugano and you also see that feeling of Italy in the piazza, the big open square. The language is Italian and so is much of the lifestyle here in Ticino, which enjoys a magical blend of two cultures, with Swiss efficiency and Italian charm.
You will love how well the pedestrian zone works – peaceful streets with people walking here and there. It is so friendly and sociable, makes for a great atmosphere.
We really enjoyed stopping at this famous gourmet food shop, Gabbani, in business here since 1937 and they've really branched out – they've got a wine shop, a cheese shop, and they even run a small hotel that's ranked number three on Trip Advisor.
This area is also world famous for its chocolates. In fact there's a chocolate factory just outside the city we visit, the Alprose, and you will see how they make their chocolates.
Another feature that makes Lugano so attractive are the hillside streets. It's just so much more interesting than being in a flatland town. They've got staircase streets, they've got gently sloping streets, and it's all for pedestrians. It's a small part of town. It's a section which is goes up the hill alongside the funicular, but it really is a lot of fun to check it out. Some of the restaurants put tables out on the staircase streets. That would be a fine place to eat on a nice day. And even though it's a little bit of work to walk up the steps, it's a very popular retail center.
It's a kind of backbeat neighborhood with some quirky little boutiques and unique shops and artists and craftspeople. You'll run into some real characters here. Custom-made clothing and jewelry a whole variety of fun things to look at.
It's the kind of neighborhood that would be very easy to mess, or you might be easily discouraged if you get to the foot of one of those hills and look up and think oh, no, I don't want to walk up that hill. But really it's not difficult at all. The slope is very gradual – you walk up, you walk down.
We’re also going to take you on a scenic boat ride from Lugano to Gandria, just five miles away. On a day like this it's perfect to sit up on the outdoor deck, or you could sit down below inside. It's very comfortable there as well. We're traveling in the month of May in Switzerland and it's warm and sunny especially because we're in the southern part of the country.
Gandria is truly a magical little village, clinging to the hillside along the shores of Lake Lugano. We will be getting off here and taking a little stroll through the village and finding it is a pedestrian zone. Cars are not allowed in the village itself because the lanes are just much too narrow and steep.
As soon as you get off the boat you can start exploring as we wind our way around these narrow lanes, and bends and turns and twists and discovering – always fun to explore someplace new for the first time.
This is part of our big series of movies about Switzerland taking you to most of the great places. We will bring you to Lucerne and up to Mount Titlis, Mount Rigi, over to Interlaken, up to the Jungfrau. We will see the Shilthorn, Lauterbrunnen Valley, Trummelbach Falls, Grindelwald, Bern, then on to Zermatt, the Matterhorn, yes we will have a look at the Gornergrat, up the Sunnegga, do some hiking, show you the village then on down to Lugano and Locarno in the southern part of Switzerland, the Ticino we also take you to the great city of Zürich. Look for them in our Swiss collection.

Paysages Suisse
La Suisse est un pays d'Europe occidentale1 composé de 26 cantons souverains ayant pour capitale fédérale la ville de Berne. Elle est entourée de cinq pays : l'Autriche et le Liechtenstein à l'est, l'Allemagne au nord, la France à l'ouest et l'Italie au sud, et ne dispose pas d'accès à la mer.
Les points extrêmes du pays se situent au nord à Oberbargen (canton de Schaffhouse), au sud à Chiasso (canton du Tessin), à l'ouest à Chancy (canton de Genève) et à l'est au Piz Chavalatsch (canton des Grisons). Le pays fait 350 km dans sa plus grande longueur et 220 km dans sa plus grande largeurBär .
Le relief de la Suisse, très hétérogène, est né de la collision des plaques tectoniques eurasienne et africaine. Cette collision, ou orogenèse, a abouti à la formation des trois grandes structures géographiques du pays : les Alpes, le plateau et le Jura. Le point culminant du pays est la pointe Dufour avec ses 4 634 m d’altitude. La topographie des Alpes et les conditions climatiques y régnant, diverses influences atlantique, continentale ou méditerranéenne, font de la Suisse le « château d'eau de l'Europe ». Le Rhin, le Rhône et des affluents du Danube et du Pô prennent leur source dans le massif du Saint-Gothard, massif des Alpes qui compte de nombreux glaciers, notamment le glacier d'Aletsch, plus grand glacier d'Europe.
Fin 2007, la Suisse compte 7 593 494 habitants répartis de façon non-homogène sur son territoire. En effet, le relief du pays, avec la présence des Alpes et du Jura, a concentré l'essentiel de la population du pays sur le plateau situé entre ces deux massifs et la plupart des grandes villes, comme Genève, Lausanne, Lucerne, Berne, Bâle et Zurich s'y sont développées. Cette population parle quatre langues nationales (l’allemand, le français, l’italien et le romanche) réparties dans des aires géographiques assez bien délimitées.

DIE SCHWEIZ
ein Schwur - vier Sprachen
Vier Sprachen - ein Land! Dazu ein Schwur, viele Berge, Seen und eine vorbildliche Neutralität samt Bankgeheimnis. Die Küche ist hervorragend - ja, und außerdem gibts da noch die Heidi. Die Schweiz liegt im Herzen Europas und gehört doch nicht dazu. Das macht neugierig!
Die Film-Reise führt ins Kernland rund um den Vierwaldstätter-See mit Luzern, Rigi und Pilatus. Von da in den Norden nach Zürich, Graubünden, Appenzell, St. Gallen und nach Schaffhausen. Basel, Bern samt Oberland und Freiburger Land folgen. Genf und der Genfer See zeigen die welsche Schweiz. Rhône aufwärts geht es ins Wallis und zu Eiger, Mönch und Jungfrau. Das Matterhorn überragt Zermatt, von wo es per Glacier Express nach St. Moritz und ins Engadin geht. Krönender Abschluss ist das Tessin, der südliche Sonnenbalkon der Schweiz.
