Bellinzona is the lively capital of Ticino. Towering over it is the medieval fortress of Bellinzona. It consists of three castles - Castelgrande, Montebello, and Sasso Corbaro that provide panoramic views of the surroundings. The stunning castles, defensive walls, and parapets are breathtaking examples of military architecture from the middle-ages. From Bellinzona, one can easily access the areas of Locarno and Ascona. The Bellinzona market in the city’s old district attracts visitors to purchase fresh produce at affordable prices. The Fondazione Amici di Villa dei Cedri has an art collection from Ticino and nearby regions, while a nearby vineyard produces the world-famous Merlot. Hiking in the hills, biking along the countryside, and indulging in lots of gelato are some fun activities to indulge in.
