Locarno holidays
Lake Maggiore is the beautiful setting of Locarno, a charming lakeside resort with good walking routes close by, splendid views and numerous sightseeing opportunities. Surrounded by terraced vineyards, sheltered from the winds, Locarno is said to have more sunshine than any other place in Switzerland. This mild climate evokes a Mediterranean atmosphere as do the palm and cypress trees that border the lake. Narrow picturesque streets filled with flowers, lead down to the Piazza Grande, with busy pavement cafes and the relaxing lakeside promenade, where magnolias and bougainvillaea provide a spectacular blaze of colour. A classic holiday atmosphere is enjoyed here, warm evening strolls, busy pavement cafes and a multitude of restaurants with a delightful Italian flavour.
