If you need to reach Lugano from another European country you can either do it by train or by plane.

a) By train. Lugano is situated on the Gotthard railway line from Milan to Germany. A train each hour circulates from Basle and from Zurich to Lugano (travel time 3h/4h). To the south, a train each hour circulates from Milan to Lugano (travel time slighty longer than 1h).

Lugano-Agno has frequent connections to Zurich with correspondences to most European destinations, and to Geneva. From the airport you reach the town centre by taxi (about 30' and 20 euros prices).
