Ticino is home to an exceptional variety of l<strong>and</strong>scapes. In the north you<br />
will find towering mountains <strong>and</strong> deep valleys carved by glaciers <strong>and</strong><br />
rivers, whose waters flow into Lake Maggiore in the south.<br />
The central-southern region is the l<strong>and</strong> of the lakes, with clear skies<br />
<strong>and</strong> a mild climate, hotels, piazzas <strong>and</strong> gardens, villages stretched along<br />
lake shores or perched on hillsides, <strong>and</strong> campaniles basking in the<br />
sunshine.<br />
In the south, you are already in the Mediterranean region. The<br />
southernmost point of the triangle, the Mendrisiotto, is notable for its<br />
serene tranquillity, its expansive l<strong>and</strong>scapes, its gentle hills scattered<br />
with houses <strong>and</strong> fields, <strong>and</strong> its glowing sunsets on mild October<br />
evenings.<br />
The towns <strong>and</strong> cities also have plenty of pleasures to offer – from<br />
sipping a cappuccino on the celebrated Piazza Gr<strong>and</strong>e of Locarno to<br />
sampling the cultural attractions in Bellinzona <strong>and</strong> shopping among the<br />
historic alleyways of Lugano. Characteristic of all of Ticino’s towns is<br />
the agreeable atmosphere that surrounds you as you stroll among the<br />
historic buildings, across bustling piazzas <strong>and</strong> through gardens in<br />
bloom.<br />
