About this activity

From Lugano, a lovely boat cruise takes you to the ancient fishing village of Morcote, winner of the title of Switzerland's Most Beautiful Village 2016.

Thanks to its characteristic narrow streets, the arcades of the old patrician houses, valuable architectural monuments and lush subtropical vegetation, Morcote is considered the "Pearl of the Ceresio". After having lost yourself in this little corner of paradise, the boat will be waiting for you to return to Lugano.

For centuries, Lake Lugano has been a magnet for tourists, attracting visitors from all over the world. The lake is criss-crossed by boats and ferries throughout the year but in summer the lake becomes a stunning arena for a whole host of leisure activities.
Morcote

2 h 30 min

This peaceful village on the lakeshore, once entirely devoted to fishing, is the winner of the contest for "the most beautiful village in Switzerland".

The artistic, cultural and architectural points of interest are: the Church of Santa Maria del Sasso in Rennaissance Baroque style, the suggestive terraced cemetery, the monumental stairs made up of 404 steps and The Captain’s Tower. Nature lovers, on the other hand, can immerse themselves in the Scherrer Park where an impressive world of subtropical flora is waiting to be discovered. In this park, that offers many examples of different architectural styles, you’ll have the opportunity of taking an exciting trip through time and space in a world where past and present, history and nature blend harmoniously.
