Locarno's Piazza Grande is the heart of the city, with its harmonious Lombard-style arcades stretching for over 700 metres and under which you can find numerous shops and restaurants. The square is the city's living room and is lined with ancient buildings. It is particularly lively in summer, when Moon & Stars and the International Film Festival take place.
