    Take the cable cart to the top of the hill - St.

    Take the cable cart to the top of the hill - St. Salvatore and if you have good weather - there awaits you and this is not an exaggeration by any means - one of the most amazing views I have ever seen in my life. Also we took a boat ride along the lake, which without any discount is about 40CHF for 2 hours ride, which is also very nice. There is a half tax discount if you have it for Switzerland. Miniature museum is nice as well. Lugano over all I think will stay in my heart :)

    2 nights would have been sufficient for us. We took a day trip to Bellinzona and visited most of the popular attractions and had time to spare. We are not shoppers or people who like to hang out next to a pool and relax. If you are that type of person, the lake is beautiful and the shopping options are abundant.

    Lugano is an exceptional peaceful small city where you can enjoy the best views of the lake. Much better place to be compared to Como the busy crowded city. We totally loved this city and all the things that offers from good food and pleasant historic buildings as well as friendly people.

    We were surprised by how big the room was! We didn’t realize it was basically a 2 bdrm/ 2 bathroom place. It was huge! We also loved the view!! The view is what made us choose Hotel Colibri. The pool area was also really nice! It was a little too cold for our girls to take a dip but I’m sure it would’ve warmed up by the afternoon. The bus stop is right out front and the bus comes often! It was an easy 15 min. ride into Lugano. So worth it to stay up here for the view and it’s also nice and quiet in this area vs Lugano.

    Excellent location. The hotel is located between Lugano and Morcote. It takes no more than 20 minutes to get to one or another town by bus. At the hotel you can get a free pass for all modes of transport (including the ferry) to move around the region. You can also get a ticket with discounts for visiting local museums. There is an Italian restaurant next to the hotel, but we didn't really like it.

    The view is the selling point of this hotel! It is a very relaxing experience to sit on the balcony and see the city underneath lighting up for the night life. The room is in good size and the balcony is in a comfortable size too. The bus right in front of the hotel that leads to the center of Lugano and the scenery on the route is quite enjoyable.

For a reasonable price we got a room with a small balcony overlooking the plaza and the lake the staff were very friendly and helpful. The breakfast was good too.
