What should I pack when moving to Lugano?
We asked people living in Lugano to list three things they wish they had brought and three they wish they had left behind. They responded...
"When moving to Lugano, it is important to pack items that will help you adjust to the climate and lifestyle. Pack warm clothing such as sweaters, coats, and scarves for the cold winter months. Bring comfortable shoes for walking around the city and exploring the nearby mountains. Don't forget to bring an umbrella and raincoat for the frequent rain showers. Additionally, pack items that will help you adjust to the culture, such as a Swiss-German dictionary and a guidebook to the city. Finally, make sure to bring any necessary documents such as a passport, visa, and work permit," commented one expat who made the move to Lugano, Switzerland.
