Enjoy Lugano

Located just 70 kilometres from Milan, the city of Lugano will surprise you with its natural beauties and wide array of shopping and entertainment venues at all times of the day.

When talking about shopping in Lugano, one immediately thinks about via Nassa, a reference point for luxury boutiques, including historic jewellers Bucherer whose name, since 1888, has been synonymous with stunning high-precision timepieces and jewellery.
