    We were in Locarno for 1.5 days.

    We were in Locarno for 1.5 days. There were many places of interest to visit and we had to rush a bit. Perhaps another 48 hours would have made the visit even more relaxing. The lake on a sunny day is fantastic as is the trip to Cimetta on the cable car, and the chair lift. There is a vast number restaurants with a wide range of menus It is an easy city to get around. Hotels provide free public transport passes for the duration of your stay. It is also next door to Ascona, which offers a different holiday experience, similar to small Italian lake side villages. Here too there is a wide choice of Restaurants particularly those overlooking the lake. Its a short bus ride from Locarno to Ascona. Don't be just focused on Locarno.

    Very enjoyable. Visconteo Castle was interesting and the funicular to Madonna del Sasso was fun. Good pizza at the Ristorante Funicolare. Be sure to take the tram further up to Cardada. The views were well worth the trip!

    A small, yet beautiful city on the Swiss part of Lago Maggiore which, for those who are on a circuit, is a must-come-to in order to visit Sacro Monte Madonna del Sasso. A jewel with an amazing view over the city and the lake, accessible both by foot or by the funicular (lovely).

    Nice hotel at a good location. It has ample room for parking but know that you will have to drive through a very, very narrow alley on your way to it. It was a bit daunting at first but worked out well, and we have a fairly large car. The breakfast was great, it's served a la carte (you make notes on a sheet of paper what you want to order) and the friendly staff brings it to you.
