There's no shortage of spectacular scenery on this tour taking in two magical lakeside towns. You'll set out from Lake Como to cross the border into Switzerland where you'll take a boat to Lugano. Once you have enjoyed the serene lakeside promenades and the sophisticated shopping here, we'll return to Como for a look around the historic lakeside city.To begin with you'll transfer to Gandria where you'll hop onboard a boat to continue your journey to Lugano on the water. Bursting with grand architecture, chic boutiques and waterside parks, Lugano has lots to see. Visit top sights like the church of Santa Maria degli Angeli, explore the Parco Civico, or hit the shops in the streets around Via Nassa. For the second part of your day, you'll head back to Como, an elegant town packed with churches, parks and palaces. Piazza Cavour is a grand square overlooking the lake, a short walk from many of the major highlights such as the Cathedral with its fine interior, the Villa Olmo and the lakeside gardens.
