Church of Santa Croce (Riva San Vitale)

Highlight • Religious Site

The Renaissance church of Santa Croce rises above the town of Riva San Vitale and was built towards the end of the 16th century. The yellow facade and the mighty dome are particularly striking. It's also worth taking a look inside.

Lake Lugano

Highlight • Lake

Lake Lugano, also known as Ceresio, is acclaimed as one of the most beautiful of the pre-Alpine lakes.
Its waters mainly extend into Swiss territory, in the Canton of Ticino, but the north-east and south-west ends bathe the territories of the provinces of Como and Varese respectively.

Cycling along the lakefront, you will be able to enjoy the beauty of the scenery of which it is the protagonist: the calm waters are set between the verdant Alpine reliefs.
