Fascinating Switzerland – Lake Maggiore

On the southern side of the Alps, only 3.5 hours' drive from Basel, lies Ticino - a Swiss enclave on the border with Italy, located on Lake Maggiore. Only one fifth of this area belongs to Switzerland, the rest is in Italy. Ticino has Swiss federal law, Swiss francs and prices comparable to national ones. Everything else, however, is Italian: the language, cuisine, culture and temperament.
