The Pearl of Ceresio
Morcote is one of the most beautiful villages in Switzerland, also called the ‘Pearl of Ceresio’.
Stroll along the lakeside promenade and under the arcades, discovering the shops, boutiques and small restaurants: walking through its narrow cobbled streets reveals old houses with arcades and architectural details that tell the story of this former fishing village.
One of Morcote’s most iconic attractions is the Church of Santa Maria del Sasso, an architectural masterpiece situated in a panoramic position.
The church offers a breathtaking view of the lake and surrounding mountains, an experience that combines spirituality and scenic wonder.
Another place not to be missed is the Scherrer Park, known as the ‘Garden of Wonders’. This botanical park, enriched by sculptures and pavilions inspired by different cultures, offers a sensory journey among Mediterranean and exotic plants.

Privileged Location
Public transport connections (bus, train, boat) make Morcote an ideal place to stay for convenient visits to nearby Lugano and the cities of Locarno and Bellinzona.
Morcote also boasts a privileged location for those wishing to explore Ticino. Being close to Lugano and well connected to the region’s main sites, the village is an ideal base for excursions to attractions such as Monte San Giorgio (UNESCO heritage site), the Verzasca Valley and Monte Generoso.
From the port of Morcote, you can buy boat tickets and visit the various tourist destinations on the lake.
