HIDDEN Gem Swiss VILLAGE by the Lake: GANDRIA Ticino Switzerland
Could Gandria be Switzerland’s perfect hidden gem village? Quite possible! Gandria is often overlooked, which is quite sad, because in fact it is one of the most beautiful villages of Switzerland. Gandria lays by lake Lugano in Ticino and charms with its unique appearance. Being built at the hill, Gandria is a hanging village, which makes it stand out from the many other beautiful Swiss villages. The village of Gandria is car-free; you may park your car a few hundred meters away from the entry or better arrive there by boat. Traveling to Gandria by boat is a very beautiful experience. As you are approaching Gandria, you will feel the excitement coming up. Having disembarked the ferry, go and explore the village. Gandria is full of narrow alleys. In contrast to Morcote, Gandria is quite a maze and you will soon realize that there are so many ways of how to explore the village. Thus, make sure to plan in at least 1 hour if not even 2 hours! A highlight of Gandria are not only the houses but also the decorated walls full of wisteria, these unique climbing plants with their purple to lilac blossoms. These you will get to see during April and May. Very beautiful is also the church of Gandria that charms with a wonderful interior. Climb the stairs to get a better view over the village and lake Lugano. From Gandria, you can see lake Lugano, and Monte San Salvatore. Unique about Gandria is also the fact that it is the last village before the boarder to Italy. If you would continue the road further you would arrive at Porlezza and further down at the Lago di Como. Gandria is perfect to combine with Lugano and a quick trip to lake Como.
There are many restaurants at where you can go for lunch at. They offer beautiful views over the lake and of course delicious dishes. A local specialty would be fish. If you have plenty of time, then take the boat from Lugano to Gandria, explore the village and then continue by ferry to Morcote, which is also one of the most beautiful villages of Switzerland.

Thats cool! I kept passing by Gandria for more than 25 years and always knew it only at the boundary to Italy. Finally, I made a visit to it. I bet arrival by boat is even better than going there by car
