Bellinzona

The three castles of Bellinzona (Castelgrande, Montebello, and Sasso Corbaro) are the main attractions. Exploring the old town, with its charming streets and shops, is also a must. Consider visiting the weekly market for local products and experiencing the regional cuisine.

The best time to visit Bellinzona is during the spring (April-May) and autumn (September-October) months. The weather is pleasant for outdoor activities, and the crowds are smaller than in the peak summer months. The summer months (June-August) are also popular, but can be hotter and more crowded.

Bellinzona is easily accessible by train from major Swiss cities like Zurich and Milan. The train station is conveniently located near the city center. If you are driving, the city is well-connected by highways. Public transportation within the city is also available.
