Parco Ciani

Parco Ciani is a delight to visit anytime of the year but particularly during the blossoming summer and spring months with all the colorful flowers and clear refreshing lugano lake that looks like a scene out of a fairy tale dream. The place is family friendly, yet very romantic and has all the amenities visitors might need from free public toilets which are clean and usable, to gelato and coffee sellers during good weather ... its a place to relax and unwind at the very heart of the beautiful city of lugano overlooking its majestic lake.

Absolutely beautiful park with views towards Lugano lake. You can rest on a bench and admire the nature. The park is well maintained with flowers and green grass. Ducks are wandering. No entrance fee. Close to the park entrance is a gate where lots of people stop and take pictures. Beware of homeless people - we had interaction with one asking for money but he was not dangerous.

So beautiful and colourful! You can spencer the whole day there! Mountains, łąkę, flowers, palm trees in the park. Places where you can sit and just admire what is around you! At the beginning of July the water in the łąkę was very warm🙂

Lovely park, magnificent scenery right on the beautiful lake with plenty of flowers. Don’t miss while in Lugano.

Nice park with a beautiful view. We visited during a city festival, so there were a lot of little events happening at the same time across the whole park and the rest of the city. Really cool experience overall.

If you're planning a trip to Lugano, this is the perfect place. Spectacular views, beautiful flowers, and well-maintained parks. If the weather is warm, you can swim and have a wonderful time.

Beautiful park over looking the lake . Very interesting history of pacifist movement and survivors both in English and Italian

Great little park. An alternative to avoid the crowds at lake Como. A lot of locals hanging out and swimming.

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.
