What do I need to know before moving to Lugano?
When we asked people what advice they would give someone preparing to move to Lugano, they said...
"Lugano is a beautiful city located in the Italian-speaking region of Switzerland. It is known for its stunning views of the Alps and its Mediterranean climate. Expats should be aware that the cost of living in Lugano is higher than in other parts of Switzerland, so budgeting is important. Lugano is a safe city, but it is important to be aware of pickpockets in crowded areas. Expats should also be aware that the official language of Lugano is Italian, so it is important to learn some basic Italian before moving. Additionally, Lugano is a great place to explore the outdoors, with plenty of hiking and biking trails in the area," remarked another expat in Lugano, Switzerland.
