The Pearl of Ceresio
Morcote is one of the most beautiful villages in Switzerland, also called the “Pearl of Ceresio.”
Walk along the lakeside promenade and under the arcades, exploring the stores, boutiques and small restaurants. Strolling through its narrow cobblestone streets allows you to discover old houses with arcades and architectural details revealing the history of this former fishing village.
One of Morcote’s most iconic attractions is the Church of Santa Maria del Sasso, an architectural masterpiece located in a panoramic location.
There are breathtaking views of the lake and surrounding mountains from the church, an experience that combines both spirituality and scenic wonder.
Another must-see is Scherrer Park, known as the “Garden of Wonders.” This botanical park, enhanced by sculptures and pavilions inspired by different cultures, offers a sensory journey through Mediterranean and exotic plants.
Prime Location
Connections to public transportation (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 prides itself on a prime location for those wishing to explore Ticino. Being close to Lugano and well connected to major sites in the region, the village is an ideal base for excursions to attractions such as Monte San Giorgio (UNESCO World Heritage Site), the Verzasca Valley, and Monte Generoso.
From the port of Morcote, you can purchase boat tickets and visit various tourist destinations on the lake.
