Swissminiatur, Melide


View of Lugano

Today (12/05/08) we went to the Swissminiatur located at Melide. Melide is a municipality in Lugano district in the canton of Ticino, Switzerland. It is located at the south of Switzerland, very close to the Swiss-Italy border. Down south, they don't speak German anymore, it's Italiano.  Italiano is one of the four official language in Switzerland besides deutsch, français and romansh. The buildings and the people are different. It feels like i'm in Italy :)


The train ride from Brugg to Lugano took about 3+ hours. We need to change trains in Zürich, by the way. The train ride was very scenic as we pass the snow capped mountains to left and right of us. The train ascended to about 1200m at one point of the journey and descends to about 300+m before reaching Lugano. From Lugano, we took a 30min ride by boat to Melide where we watch city of Lugano from the lake.



It is so life like.


Even miniatures have flat tires.


All of these are miniatures, really!


In Bern I guess.
