A stone's throw from the Convention Centre, this delightful shaded lakeside park is more than worth a visit. Open-air concerts are occasionally held here in summertime. Villa Ciani, the former property of the Ciani brothers who were responsible for launching Lugano as a tourist destination in the second half of the 19C, hosts temporary exhibitions. The walk culminates in a splendid view over the town, which is even better in the evening.
