This app-led scavenger hunt takes you through Locarno on foot, using phone-based riddles to guide you from one landmark to the next. No guide, no fixed start time. • Follow riddles to the Piazza Grande, Castello Visconteo, and the Walk of Fame Locarno — civic life, medieval history, and a touch of cinema glamour • Start at any time and move through this lakeside town at your own pace • Great for families, couples, and groups of any size Around 2 hours, any group size, available in German and English. The only Swiss city where you sunbathe in February. The history's warm too.

Lugano Private Walking Tour with a Professional Guide
Welcome to Lugano, the capital of the Swiss canton of Ticino, where Switzerland has an Italian accent. This city rose out of its strategic position, just below the best alpine passes. These passes were used by Celts, leaving their mark. The same was done by the Romans, leaving in Lugano the oldest sacred building in Switzerland. Due to the Italian culture and influence, Lugano has Mediterranean ambience, with its sunshine, vegetation, inviting lake, and shopping. But there is more to Lugano than shopping and relaxation, so come with us to discover the ancient history of this beautiful city.
