Swissminiatur in Melide shows Switzerland as a sprawling open-air park with detailed models at a scale of 1:25. When you stroll through the approximately 14,000-square-meter park, you'll find handmade replicas of famous buildings, monuments, and transport facilities lined up one after the other.

Model trains run on a branched rail network, complemented by ships and cable cars that move through the designed miniature landscape. The location directly on Lake Lugano combines the compact Switzerland in miniature with an impressive backdrop of water, mountains, and well-kept green spaces. This destination is especially great for families.
