The city of Lugano, also known as the 'Rio de Janeiro of the Old Continent', lays on the shores of Lake Lugano. Clear blue waters and rugged mountains topped with snow-capped peaks characterize the idyllic setting. Tourism is the main earner of this lovely region but international banking is also a major source of revenue - Lugano is the third largest financial centre in the country. it's renowned for its mild climate, delightful scenery, luxuriant vegetation, great shopping and, of course, for its music festivals, like the Estival Jazz and the Blues to Bop Festival. Lugano has a charming and easygoing atmosphere. Meandering alleyways, thoughtfully laid out parks and the squares (Piazza) in the pedestrian zone beckon further investigation. Remarkable buildings are e.g. the Romanesque Cathedral of San Lorenzo and the 15th century Monastery of Santa Maria degli Angioli with its fabulous frescoes by Bernardino Luini. Lugano boasts three art museums: the Municipal Art Museum exposes the works by the great impressionists, modern masters and the most significant Ticino artists throughout all epochs; the Cantonal Art Museum houses a 19th and 20th century art collection by Swiss and foreign artists and last but not least, the Museum of Modern Art. Yet also the Museum of Non-European Culture with an important collection of artistic and historic interest of ethnic items from Oceania, Indonesia and Africa is worth visiting. Make an excursion with the funicular railway to Mount Bré from which you will admire the splendour of Mount Rosa and the Bernese and Valais Alps.
