What a beautiful place... and its so nice to see how happy you, Alexis, and the little one are together. We're on our way to Switzerland thanks to you two: the best Swiss travel content creators anywhere to be found. And, being a former New Yorker myself, Alexis adds the extra level of trust to the channel too. If you're in Luzern, Zurich, Zermatt, or Lauterbrunnen, who knows, we may bump into our fave KZbinrs. Cheers

Such a nice comment!! We will be traveling quite a bit this summer and will be in Lucerne and Zermatt for sure - maybe we’ll see you there!

Great travel guide and tips about Switzerland. This is my favorite and dream country. Very impressive and magical place. What a beautiful waterfall, so clean, clear crystal water. Perfect sceneries. I love your country. Thank you for taking us along here

[@TheTravelingSwiss]

I love learning about your gorgeous country

[@laurenhux6528]

Thank you for sharing ❤ using so many of your recs for our trip in September

[@gjorgigjorgiev6008]

More beautiful than Monaco for sure !!!

[@saket1302]

When I visited Switzerland last year for a week, thought that one more visit of 8-10 days will suffice to cover this beautiful country. But seeing your videos I think that one more visit has to be at least 2 or 3 or may be more

[@SonGoku31213]

My family would take us there every holiday when we were kids. We are swiss but going goin to these 2 places (Locarno and Ascona) felt like going out of the country. There are palm trees and beautiful lakes. Good pizza and good gelato. The houses are often older (Ticino style). And on national day, Ascona has a huge firework every year, firing from a boat on the lake. People would gather near the lake or book a table in one of the restaurants at the lake. Then kids would start lightning their firework volcanoes on the street by the waters. Pizza, beer, firework and Ticino. Really cant get better 😄 Dont get me started on Brisago. Cant imagine a better place to live in (for me at least lol). Thanks for showing others! U caught lotsa great spots👍 Some I havent seen yet myself either☺️

[@lauraezell7723]

This is one of my favorite places to visit. The Ticino ticket is great if the place where you're staying honors it. Our apartment in Locarno for our upcoming stay did not. If this is important to you check before booking.

[@TheTravelingSwiss]

That’s a great call out!

[@lauraezell7723]

@@TheTravelingSwiss I wonder if most hotels offer it but not necessarily apartments (even though we booked our apartment through a standard hotel booking site). Just wanted to warn people to check. Thanks for including footage of Brissago. I've been to this area several times but haven't made it there yet. It's on my bucket list!

[@bora0831]

Omg this area is so so beautiful! I am planning to stay 11 days at switzerland in September. This area was not in our initial itinerary, but now I am seriously considering to visit here. I think I am going to rent a car for 2 days and take a day trip from Lucerne. I watched ur driving in switzerland video. Do you have any recommendations of driving routes from Lucerne to here? Thank you!

[@קארין-ו4צ]

everything so beautiful 💓 it is good to came there in early october? and the ticket ticino is also if i stay in logano?

[@ameyabandekar3497]

Thank you for sharing! We are planning a visit to Ticino in Autumn. Considering we will be there for 4 days and there is so much to do, I was wondering if the centovalli train is a must or if we can pass it. Any thoughts would be appreciated 😊

[@BombasticLove87]

Amazing. I'll go here and back to Lugano!

[@strfrl9665]

hi how many days did this locarno trip take u

[@rck812]

Did you rent a car to see all these sights or can you do it with Public Transportation?

[@TheTravelingSwiss]

You can do it with public transit as long as you’re comfortable with busses (very easy in Switzerland !)

[@philiproberts4101]

Is this region easy to navigate without a car?

[@TheTravelingSwiss]

If you’re comfortable with busses it’s no problem! There are busses that go everywhere we went in this video, boats are a common transportation means too

[@zizou97]

Wonderful place does anyone know how much the hotel room cost for this hotel?

[@TravelUnplugged]

What camera do you use do record?

It looks like if Italy had money…

[@marcstylish-st1lw]

Unbelievable that you are creating content on such a small country Switzerland for last 2 years.

[@cnuploads]

?

[@Albert-Ramhash]

Thanks. I'll visit here soon.

[@songohan1013]

Palm trees, clean and beautiful lakes, mountains....Swiss infrastructure. Not many know of this little paradise in Switzerland. As a swiss, I can comfirm that even swiss folks go there for holidays lol. It's not expensive either if u compare to the rest of Switzerland. What i dont get is why so many swiss dont wanna live there. If i still lived back in Switzerland (in canada now), i would totally move to the italian part: Ticino. I hear many swiss dont go live there cuz u make the least money. Yet many use the money they make to have a good time in Ticino (italian part)😂. Good food (italian style), chill and friendly people, ships, beautiful nature and climate~ Thanks for showing the world these places of Switzerland. It's a hidden gem my family has been visiting since my childhood. And hope anyone who comes across this video will give Ticino a visit. I promise u wont regret it😊

[@kristine6996]

Hoe lang heb ik dat nu al gezegd… 1970-2023.

[@antonrasha3834]

It's better Ticino or Italy?

[@TheTravelingSwiss]

Ticino is a very small region, it’s hard to compare to all of Italy, but I think it’s a noce alternative to lake como specifically, the lakes here (maggiore and lugano) have a similar vibe and scenery and far fewer crowds
