Swiss Activities Tip

Gandria is a place very close to Lugano. It clings to the steep slope of Monte Brè, known as Switzerland's sunniest mountain. Worth seeing is the Church of St. Vigilio. In the Gandria vineyards district, you can visit the Swiss Customs Museum in summer. It is part of the Swiss National Museum and is housed in an old border guard post.

Tour groups get priority when boarding, so all the best seats are already taken. I assume tour groups also pay less than solo travelers.

25.5.30: Beautiful boat trip and friendly captains. The Olive Trail (Il sentiero dell’olivo) is highly recommended.
