Lugano Forum: Lugano Hotels and autos

To me the prettiest lakeside town in the Ticino is not Lugano nor Locarno but Ascona. It is really lovely and well worth a visit.

You do not need a rental car. You can get anywhere you want by train, lake boat or bus. But there are rental car offices in Lugano and Locarno. (usually at local garages).

Lugano is the most romantic, they are 25-30 minutes apart in any case. Make sure you drive up the mountain in Lugano, there is an awesome cafe on top that is breathtaking.

Car Rental won't be necessary almost everything is done by train. That is the best way to see any city in Europe anyway.

Thank you for your great input and advice.

OK No car. I'll do it by train.

I have made a tentative reservation at the Pestalozzi Hotel. Do you have any knowledge about it? And how about restaurants? Places to see?

Sorry to be such a pest but I want to get the most out of this trip!

Good decision to use public transport. This doesn't only mean trains, especially in the Ticino - lake boats and busses are all part of the network as well.

Thanks for that! I'll keep that in mind when moving about!
