Cattedrale di San Lorenzo

It’s a place where history, art, and spirituality converge. You feel not only a sense of peace, but a connection to the generations of people who have walked these halls, gazed up at the same frescoes, and felt the same breeze from Lake Lugano. The cathedral’s history pulses through the walls—dating back to the 9th century. It has seen countless pilgrims, visitors, and worshippers. The panoramic view of the city and the lake from the terrace is breathtaking. You feel as though time slows as you take in the sprawling cityscape below, framed by mountains.

This was the best experience of our trip to Europe this spring. We were in Italy and this time decided to visit Switzerland, specifically the southern Italian part of Switzerland. We had only one day, so we decided to book a private tour, and it was the best decision. We really liked our guide, a very knowledgeable and educated young woman who enlightened us not only about the history but also about the everyday life of this place. She suggested things we could do even with such limited time (we were in Lugano for 12 hours) and where to have lunch with the most stunning views at a very affordable price. If you're looking for a high-quality private tour and excellent service at a reasonable price, this tour is definitely for you.
