Bellinzona is probably the most Italian city in Switzerland. The “skyline” of the Ticino capital is formed by the mighty fortress, which consists of three of the best preserved medieval castles in Switzerland - a UNESCO World Heritage Site.

Hiking

The castles of Bellinzona, UNESCO World Heritage, the Saturday market and beautiful mountain valleys, just a stone's throw away: Bellinzona is a city between history and nature. There is no shortage of small shops and restaurants in the streets of the old town.
