Parco Ciani

Very pretty and relaxing place to be. Definitely need to visit Parco Ciani when you are in Lugano. Close to the city centre, and during the Christmas period, there’s an outdoor ice-rink set up for kids and adults.

Beautiful Park on the water with amazing view of the mountains. We spent a few Hours here with our kids. There is also a big playground which my 10 Years old enjoyed very much.

This is a nice fancy park, definitely worth the visit. The walk by the water is gorgeous, the plants are nice, there's water fountains.

Must see in Lugano! So peaceful and serene! Great for an afternoon walk! You might be tempted to feed the ducks, don’t.

I had higher expectations going into Switzerland. One thing that really frustrated me was none of the parking meters took card. You needed coins at every one of them or an app that I can’t download with a data only cell plan with a foreign number. I had just visited France and Italy where I could pay for literally anything with a credit card and Switzerland was just being on the times. Also while there I saw two rats. Never saw one of those in France or Italy. It just fell short of my expectations.

Very beautiful park and villa. 😍

Strolling along this park was so beautiful. It has gorgeous views of the lake and access to swimming in the lake. There was a place for children to play, a place to rent boats, and other activities. There were lots of trees for shade.

Main attraction of Lugano. Scenic, serene, peaceful... What else do you want 😀

Beautiful Foliage. Paved Park. Popular Among Runners, Walkers, Bikers, Photographers. Views of Lugano. Tranquil Space Amidst City Center. Free to Visit.

Strolling through this park to enjoy the views and landscaping was one of the highlights of our visit to Lugano. What will you find at this waterfront park? Swans rolling in the waves, large magnolia trees, stunning flower installations, plenty of activities for kids, a rocky beach-like area and an abundance of shade and public art. It truly is a Lugano gem with the mix of mountain backdrop, palm trees and lush Mediterranean vibes. There are also a few stops throughout the park to grab gelato or a drink to soak in the views. Entrance to the park is free and you can reach it within a ten minute walk along the lake from the core of downtown Lugano. This would make for a great spot to pack a picnic and enjoy the lake breeze on a hot summer day.

I came here while strolling through Lugano. The park is very green, has a gate for photo ops, some swans, and a playground with a beautiful view of Switzerland.

Whenever I'm in town I always come here for a nice picnic Pros: - Beautiful garden within the park - Well kept - the grass is mowed and super clean - Clean bathrooms (they're a fancier version of a porta potty); there's also a nice fountain right outside the bathrooms to clean your face - 20 minutes from the train station; 5 minutes away from a boat rental place - View of the lake is amazing! Cons: - None!

Beautiful park that's a 10-15 minute walk away from the train station. Once you get off the train, just continue to walk down through the town until you get to the lake. Follow the path lined with trees and you'll arrive at the park. Very serene. If you go earlier in the morning you'll have more of the park to yourself - it can get busier during lunch time. A must-see.

The trip to this park is incomplete without a picture at the romantic gates. Walk through the whole park. The parking is available underground to the side of the park.
