This Italian-speaking region in Southern Switzerland is on the border with Italy.

Castelgrande is a lovely medieval castle overlooking the city that has recently been restored. The Centovalli Railway is a scenic train that operates between Locarno, Switzerland and Domodossola, Italy, traveling through the breathtaking "Hundred Valleys."

Came here as a day trip from Zurich. This little place is absolutely gorgeous. You can go across the old stone bridge to the opposite side too. The drive up to this spot was really scenic too. Recommended.

Ascona is always worth a visit. Been here a couple of times and still amazes every time. The town itself is a sight on its own right. Strolling through the narrow streets and lanes is just a nice thing to do. The old town's not that big, so you surely won't get lost. Besides the old town the Promenade on the lake - the Lungolago - is what you come for. It's not the biggest or longest Promenade, but it's one of the most beautiful. The Lago Maggiore is just a wonderful lake and you can see to the other side: Italy. Take a walk, take a boat...take a break and enjoy this wonderful Promenade. There's plenty of space, since the Lungolago is very wide. Along the way a good number of restaurants and of course some souvenir shops. But also a nice park at the southern end and lots of benches to stretch your legs. From the official photo op on the northern end you really can get nice pics of the Lungolago with the colourful buildings backing it up. If you're around here already, don't miss out on Locarno, another beautiful town in Ticino.
