Is there a lot of diversity? Are people in Lugano accepting of differences?
When we asked people about diversity in Lugano and whether locals are accepting of differences, they said...
"Lugano is a diverse city with a population made up of people from many different backgrounds. The city is known for its acceptance of different cultures, religions, and lifestyles, and its citizens are generally welcoming and tolerant of differences. The city is also home to a variety of international organizations, which further contributes to its diversity," mentioned another expat when asked about moving to Lugano, Switzerland.
"Lugano is in Italian Switzerland in the cantone of Ticino, and it is located on Lake Lugano. The local language is Italian, but most people also speak German/Swiss German and French, although very few speak English. There are many Catholic churches, a mosque and a Christian church, but the people aren't heavily religious. The people are generally very nice as long as you don't act like a loud-mouth American who is surprised that they don't speak English. Just say "I'm sorry, I don't speak Italian. Do you speak English?" (translation: Mi dispiace ma non parlo italiano bene. Pali inglese?) Then, they will most likely do their best to help you," commented one expat who made the move to Lugano, Switzerland.
