The Piazza Grande of Locarno is the heart of the city, with its harmonious arcades in Lombard style, which stretch over 700 meters and under which you will find numerous shops and restaurants. The square is the city's drawing room and is lined with ancient buildings. It is particularly lively in summer when Moon & Stars and the International Film Festival take place.
