Brissago

Built around a lakeside landing on Lake Maggiore, Brissago grew into a Ticino municipality with an Italian-speaking character and a close connection to the water. The Brissago Islands lie just offshore; Isola Grande hosts a botanical garden where Mediterranean and subtropical plants benefit from the lake’s mild local climate. In the old centre, narrow lanes lead towards the Church of Santi Pietro e Paolo and its bell tower above the shore. Brissago cigars, first produced here in the 19th century, remain one of Ticino’s best-known traditional products.
