Worth a visit, great sights indeed. The way up/down has many steps, so decide whether you take the car or not. Pricey but worth it! Spectacular of Lugano, the lake & much much more. The restaurant at the top is half decent. Beer is fairly priced & the food as well. Make sure to get a return pass when purchasing t your ticket up. From the moment you step into the funicular, you know you're in for a treat. The itself is incredibly scenic and smooth, offering breathtaking of Lake Lugano and the surrounding mountains. The staff were friendly and accommodating, and the journey up to the summit was a delight. Once at the top, the are absolutely heavenly. The 360° panorama from the church roof and the Capodoro Terrace is spectacular, providing a unique perspective of the city, the lake, and the Swiss and Savoy Alps. It's the perfect place to relax, take in the moment, and capture some stunning photos. There are also beautiful hiking trails and a restaurant with panoramic views, making it a complete experience. This was such a fun and memorable experience! I highly recommend this to anyone visiting Lugano. It's truly a must-do activity that offers great value for the price and leaves you with memories that will last a lifetime. This was such a fun and memorable experience! The car itself was smooth and offered stunning of the and lake below. Definitely try to sit in the "front" row for the best up. The cars run every 30 minutes, making it convenient and accessible. Once at the top, there are multiple trails to different look out spots, each offering breath-taking panoramic views. This is a great family-friendly activity and must-do while in Lugano! Very nice mountain to visit in Lugano, especially for those interested in a 360 unhindered view of the city, with multiple view points at varying elevations, rhe itself is an exceptional experience that it worth trying regardless of how the view looks like at the top. Compared to Monte Bre, which is the other famous mountain in Lugano, Mt San Salvatore feels more ancient, with less greenery at the top but amazing unobstructed view of the southern part of the overlooking the campione d'italia and on clear sky days you might even get a distant glimpse of the of Milano in the far horizons so very exceptional at the top. The station is around 25 min walk from the center which is accessible for most visitors to the and the itself takes around 10 min to the top. Great trip with kids in Switzerland and northern Italy. Great and can take the car and a short hike to the top of the mountain. Ordered tickets online 10 minutes in advance in early October. Magical views, and here is much more comfortable than near the lake when it is 32C outwards You can go up in an open cabel car or a closed one. We went in an open one ....a bit frightening but so worth it the are amazing....Such a wonderful few hours. Had our lunch at the restaurant at the top stunning of Maggiore lake ... Highly recommended This car is well worth the money. The at the top are incredible. If you think you made it as high as you can you're wrong and need to keep climbing. The 360 degree on top of the church are well worth the hike. Absolutely breathtaking. Amazing place and view, pictures speak for themselves. You can go for free if you’re prepared to hike for 90 minutes upwards and same downwards. You need to have a good hiking shoes. If not willing to take the walk then you can pay for the car, either a single journey or return. You will have a great time. Must do/see in Lugano. Amazing panoramic on Lugano and surroundings. You get to the top with a that departs in Lugano Paradiso. It is centrally located and easily accessible by public transport. There is a car park at the departure of the but it is small and it looked full when we were there. An absolute must do. Catch the or drive up. The over one of the most stunning lakes is to be seen to be believed. From the funiculore, it is about a 10 minute walk to the peak. Climb up to the top of the building at the top and experience the best you can imagine. You can hike to other panoramic but why bother - this is the best.
