Step by step into your happiness
Start with Ticino
Ticino is the Italian-speaking south of Switzerland: palm-lined lakes, mountain valleys and old stone villages, a few hours from Milan and Zurich. We are building our guides one destination at a time, starting here. Each one aims to answer the practical questions first: how to get there, where to stay, what to see and what it costs.
Switzerland on video
Watch travel videos from Basel to Lucerne and the Verzasca Valley, then read our notes to plan your own trip. The videos are from YouTube creators and are linked to their channels.
