Lido di Lugano, Beach complex in Lugano, Switzerland
Lido di Lugano is a beach complex on Lake Lugano featuring sandy areas, multiple swimming pools, and recreational facilities spread across the waterfront. The site offers both lake swimming and heated pools available throughout the year.
The site opened in 1928 as a bathing destination for Lugano. Over the decades, the complex underwent upgrades to modernize facilities while keeping the original lakeside terrace design intact.
Summer evenings bring outdoor cinema screenings here, with the lake and mountains creating a natural backdrop for community gatherings. Visitors come to watch films together under the open sky and experience the waterfront evening life.
The complex remains accessible year-round with heated pools for winter swimming. Visitors should know that opening hours and available facilities may vary depending on the season.
A protective bubble cover allows winter swimming in the Olympic-sized pool, which maintains warm water throughout the year. This technology lets visitors swim and train in heated conditions even during cold months.
