Voice of Travelers to Lugano

Leisure trip to Lugano

Early this year I had the pleasure of going to Lugano for a trip. Cheap air fare helped me source for a cheap ticket. They had discounts applicable to my ticket. I did not hesitate to get my ticket from them. The flight attendants in the Swiss International airlines where I had acquired my ticket from were very kind and offered tasty food. I had ensured my ticket was valid prior to travelling. I had booked a hotel room near Lake Lugano which was amazing as I could enjoy the views and visit the parks easily. Lugano is an incredible city I enjoyed the week on Lugano. I will get a ticket back next year.

Surprise trip to Lugano

I had not planned for a trip. It was never a thought that struck that I would ever book a ticket for Lugano. My parents surprised me one day when they came home and gave me a pair of ticket for the destination. It was during the holidays and I had no ties holding me back from visiting Lugano with them. I gave my mum my ticket to hold it for me as I awaited the travel date.To cut the story short we had an amazing time in Lugano. We visited almost all the tourist destinations in Lugano before leaving.
