It was very early and we were on our way to Lugano. Such refreshing scenery to start the day.

Lugano, Switzerland is also called “Monte Carlo of Switzerland” because of the many rich and famous who go and visit the place. Lake Lugano is also a popular tourist destination because of its relatively warm climate. It has stunning scenery like this on the promenade… with the alps on the south and Italy just next door.
The churches just near the promenade from left to right:
The Church of Sant’ Antonio Abate in Piazza Dante Alighieri and that is Jack.
Santa Maria deglo Angioli Church is on the shore of Lake Lugano. Also known as The Church of Out Lady of All Angels was built in 1494.
That last one is also from there…just can’t remember what church it is. But lovely wooden door isn’t it?
We had free time to explore the pretty lakeside town and have a cup of coffee. It has beautifully and brightly coloured houses, markets and cobblestone streets.

Looks so pretty
It is definitely. So tranquil. Thanks for the comment Ali!
How idyllic! Your pictures capture this area’s beauty so remarkably.
Thanks so much Dora. That’s a wonderful comment.
My pleasure, Teresa. Your blog brightens my day. ☀️
What a pretty town!
Such a beauty…I could’ve stayed there forever. But of course as always in a tour, we didn’t stay long.
That’s the downside of a tour, but you can always use it as an intro to discover places you want to return to and spend more time in
That is what’s supposed to happen…but there’s so many places in this world that I would rather visit for the first time than go to somewhere that I have been previously. Oh the problems of life haha
I know – that’s often how we feel. We very rarely go back anywhere, apart from a few favourite cities like Paris and New York (but even then, we’ve only been to NYC twice!)
Yup, we have been to London twice and it’s not because we love it very much….but because my son got married there on my second time there. Well time will tell!
Another beautiful place! Thank you for sharing!
Thanks for stopping by!
You’re welcome
