The city's excellent reputation as a cultural center is attributable to the high standard of exhibitions, which are regularly held in its museums, and those of the surrounding regions. This quite unique mixture of Italian ambience and Swiss efficiency will also enchant you. The traffic-free historic city center, magnificent buildings in the Lombardic style, exclusive museums, the sunny climate, the mountains, the lake and a calendar full of events all invite visitors to view and experience the city - and of course indulge in a little relaxed living.
