Day 3: Lugano
Today our included excursion takes us over the border into Switzerland and the beautiful lakeside town of Lugano. Lugano lies in a bay on the northern side of Lake Lugano and is surrounded by Monte Bre and Monte Salvatore offering a breathtaking backdrop. The town centre boasts Mediterranean-style squares and arcades for you to explore and by the lakeside promenade are the beautiful Belvedere Gardens. Be sure to visit Via Nassa, one of town’s historical streets and Lugano’s number one shopping destination. Its elegant and sophisticated atmosphere is not to be missed.

Day 5: Free Time or St. Moritz & Bernina Region Railway
Today, for those passengers who have pre-booked, our optional excursion takes you to the world famous resort of St. Moritz. Sporting life has always been an important part of St. Moritz, and over 100 years ago the first British visitors used to stage toboggan races in the streets.
There will be a short amount of time for you to explore before we board the Bernina Region Railway and cross one of the highest railroad lines in the Alps. As we approach the Swiss / Italian border, we travel over the Brusio spiral viaduct, an amazing feat of engineering that allows the train to gradually descend 20 metres in a relatively short distance. We arrive in Tirano, a quaint Italian town, where we spend a short amount of free time before returning to our hotel. Included meals: Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner
