Hi everyone
I am going to Lugano with my family in this month for 15 days. we rent a house but i am little bit worried because i heard that Lugano is quite small city and i havent got sufficient information about it . which places are worth to see or which close cities should i visit and how is the night life in Lugano etc. i am open to all suggestions. beacuse just for Lugano 15 days are very long for me
thank you in advance

What is the reason why you have chosen to rent a house in Lugano for 15 days?
Nothing against Lugano but it was your decision, i hope it was based on some research.
What are your interests besides nightlige?
Have you read a guidebook about Lugano and surroundings?

Suggestion for one day: Go to the quarter called Paradiso but only if the weather is fine. The is a little train climbing up a mountian to the top with an amazing view over the city and the lake. Forget the restaurant up there as the prices are far from god and bad.

Well Lugano is one of the biggest city in the Italian part of Switzerland and also nearly the border to Italy. If you have the possibility to move there are - both sides of the border - is a lot to discover. Try Wikipedai or the tourism offfices from each city, town, village first by Internet and Goggle.

what to do in Lugano, is a question i´ve asked my self a couple of times.

you could go to the tourist office and get some leaflets where the nightlife is just happening.
i connect lugano with boat trips and trekking, hanging around at the lake.

i prefer locarno or ascona for visiting, it´s certainly worth a day trip.

It is true that Lugano is a small city however once you have finished exploring it there are plenty of other things to do and see in the area. Ticino is a beautiful area. Don't hesitate to go to Locarno, and also to Bellinzona which offers beautiful castles to visit - not to be missed. Try also a boat ride on the lake - beautiful views on the mountains. If you like hiking, try a hike in the mountains at the border between Switzerland and Italy.
