Private chauffeur in Lugano
Italian-speaking Switzerland, between lake and palm trees, by private chauffeur
Lugano is Switzerland's Italian-speaking metropolis and its third financial centre, after Zurich and Geneva. Set on the shores of Lake Lugano (Ceresio), between Monte San Salvatore and Monte Brè, it offers a setting found nowhere else in Switzerland: palm trees, lively piazzas and an Italian way of living, at the crossroads of Ticino, Lombardy and Graubünden.
Swiss Limo serves Lugano from Agno airport (LUG), Milan Malpensa (MXP) and Zurich via the Gotthard tunnel. Our chauffeurs know the Centro banking district as well as the lakeside roads to Ascona, Locarno or St. Moritz via the Maloja Pass (see also /destinations/st-moritz), for business and leisure clients alike.
