Falconeria Locarno is a lush park that showcases shows and demonstrations featuring an array of raptors such as eagles, hawks, vultures and more. The exhibition offers an opportunity for visitors to witness these magnificent birds flying very close, sometimes even right next to them. For the best chance at having a bird placed on you, wear a cap and be prepared to take photos quickly. Kids can also enjoy pony rides after the show.
Beautiful show. Kids really enjoyed it.
Birds are flying very close, sometimes next to you.
If you want to get a chance that they put a bird on you - wear a cap. And be ready to take pictures - it is just few seconds.
Kids can ride a pony after the show.

The show was amazing and super engaging. Even though the narrative was only in Italian and German (and I speak neither), it didn’t make it any less fun.
Highly recommended for adults, teenagers, and kids!

I had a lovely time at Falconeria Locarno. The show was very entertaining and the birds seemed well taken care of. The whole place is well kept.

The show is an amazing experience!! Don't lose that.
The zoo is nice but during the show you have the experience to see all animals flying freely
P.s. come with a hat and you could have a chance to have an eagle landing on you
P.p.s they are pretty friendly

Amazing show. Learned a lot about the history of falconry, and enjoyed the birds from a very near distance (had one even on my head). Highly recommended half day trip! Also, the pizza in the bistro tasted fantastic and was very reasonably priced.

Classic falconeria, if you're looking for a more interactive experience than just your average zoo, this is fantastic. Great performances, horse riding, eagle & owl holding with photos available too, super cool place & a must visit.

Indeed many (large) birds flying around (some even over your head) during the show. Definitely worth attending.
Note it can quite wet in case of rain as tents over tribunes don't do their job well.

Verzasca Dam is a hydroelectric power plant located in the Verzasca Valley. It is accessible by an uphill road from Locarno town and requires a parking card to use any green sector parking place. The dam offers stunning views of Lago di Maggiore lake and the surrounding mountains, making it a popular tourist destination. It is also famous for its appearance in the James Bond movie Goldeneye and features a large bungee jump station that attracts daredevils.
Impressive! Three climbing routes have been set up on the right side.

Verzasca Dam is an incredibly beautiful dam with the height of 220m (721ft). It is famous not only for being one of the highest dams in Europe, but also because it was the setting for the opening scene of the James Bond movie GoldenEye starring Pierce Brosnan.
It is famous also for the Bungee Jumping!
A must-see spot for anyone who visits the area of Locarno.
Don't miss also the ancient stone bridge of Lavertezzo (few km north from the dam).
Highly recommended!

Verzasca dam can be reached from Locarno town via an uphill road. I suggest upon arrival by the Verzasca valley parking card which would allow you to use any green sector parking place through your journey into Verzasca valley. The dam itself offers a magnificent view to the nearest Lago di Magiore lake and the surrounding mountains. This dam is also famous about the Goldeneye James Bond movie and you can find here a big bunge jump station as well. I definetly recommend to check it out!

The Lido Locarno features a state-of-the-art lakeside swimming complex that offers an extensive range of amenities for all ages. The facility boasts outdoor pools, water slides, thermal baths, and beach access with stunning views. There is a 50m outdoor pool and a designated pool for kids and toddlers. Additionally, guests can enjoy bid and hot whirlpool facilities. Although the outdoor pools are quite old, they are well-maintained.

Fantastic place. As a traveller from the UK this provided a welcome place for relaxation, some sun, shade (helpfully!) and a great swim and slide. Really great setting beside the lake with beach and lake access. Large grassed areas with deckchairs or sun loungers, An Olympic height diving platform and aqua climbing (a first for me!) in a separate pool. A large outdoor pool great for lengths but also a fantastic temperature for a hot day. A heated outdoor pool that was like a bath on a hot day and children's splash play pool. Indoors two large pool areas. Finally 4 fantastic slides / flumes. We tried 3 but the vertical drop of the 4th saw us chicken out. A bit pricey but worth it!

Amazing pool!
- Clean, large, everything well-organized
- Lovely warm outdoor pool with a bubble bath and a view of the mountains
- Really cool water slides on an amusement park level (there's an extra fee at the entrance if you want to use them)
- Nice toddler pool with a soft bottom and a slide for the little ones in the main pool
- Delicious fries at the restaurant (note: the portions are huge)
- Large inflatable cushion on the lake
- And several diving boards too
In short: highly recommended!

We were in Locarno for the triathlon and the entrance fee was included so we chilled before the event.
The place is really nice, it feels luxurious for the price you pay - which I think it’s 13 francs. The structure is very modern and the areas themselves are clean and inviting.

Its a fun distention for the family
More than 5 swimming pool with different sizes , small aqua park inside
Shaded pools , and nice restrant as well
Negative point : 1 bottle of water cost 3.5 euro ( you can imagine the rest )
Also the entrance ticket cost 20 euro approx which is very expensive compared to the other lido in Switzerland

We were there with our son (11 months) and he felt verh comfortable. Unfortunately it does not have much shade, so you are forced to be there very early or rent a parasol. The prices are proud, bit if you look at the whole area, it will be fine.

I admit that I love to swim. What you get: 50m outdoor pool, pool for kids and toddlers. Bid and hot whirlpool other features. Most beautiful view you andprobably may have from a public shore. Sunday and Saturday crowded. Building is very modern and stylish. Outdoor pools are quite old but in good shape. Of course you may also swim in the lake! Enjoy. No pictures from the pool cause of personal privacy.

Piazza Grande, located in the historic center of Locarno, is a charming town square with ancient cobblestone pavement and colorful historic buildings. It is situated near the lake and surrounded by many little shops and restaurants. The plaza hosts film and food festivals which attract tourists from all over to witness its beauty. Visitors can explore the narrow streets around it and indulge in some gelato while enjoying the stunning view of the lake from one of its many bars or restaurants.
Typical town near a lake as always beautiful. It is typical for its little restaurants and bar with an amazing view on the lake. Locarno is absolutely one of destinations to see near maggiore lake

Very nice, wide Plaza with ancient cobblestone and colorful historic fasades. Close to the lake, many little shops and restaurants. A real gem in the histories centre of Locarno. There's not that much around but the Piazza grande is well worth the visit. Make sure to check out the narrow streets around it and to get some gelato. The place was occupied by a large screen at one end due to the movie festival, so its full glory was covered partly.

Please note my comments are based primarily around our film festival experience within this space.
It’s early August and the Locarno Film Festival is in full flow, the centrepiece is the Piazza Grande, where up to 8000 people per night gather to watch movies on one of the world’s biggest screens.
It’s an experience you are unlikely to forgot, to share those moments with thousands of strangers, it’s kind of amazing and incredibly cool.
I love the environment here, who says cinema is dead when so many gather to watch films both big and small.
Loved it each night as bats made their way across the screen, maybe they were watching.

Visconteo Castle is a well-preserved fortress from the medieval era that now serves as an archeological museum. The historical site houses an impressive collection of Roman glass and other exhibits for visitors to enjoy. Although the castle's beauty is undeniable, some individuals believe that there may be more potential to further develop its offerings and enhance the visitor experience.
A great collection of Arp's work. Probably the best in the world. A definite must for lovers of modern art.

We spent over an hour here and thoroughly enjoyed it. The rustic grounds are wonderful for photos and contemplation. Inside, there are many frescoes in various states. It has a real lived-in feel. I loved the graffiti on the walls from various ages. There were some interesting exhibits of gravestones, furniture and other artifacts.
As you can see from my photo, there is even a special alphabet attributed to this region. It's useful for deciphering some of the graffiti which is carved or chiseled in the walls.
Mostly, we just loved exploring the castle ~ turrets, jail cells, etc., and the nostalgic feeling of time gone by. We were greeted by a friendly employee who gave us some valuable advice, especially about parking in Locarno. If you park between 12 & 2 pm, your parking is free! That allowed us to make the most of our time in the city.

18CHF for a ticket is at least double than what it's worth, therefore 3 stars, as value for money in Switzerland is obviously an issue...

The Locarno-Madonna del Sasso funicular is a charming and old-fashioned mode of transportation that takes visitors up to a picturesque late-15th century church, which also serves as the starting point for mountain hikes. This cable railway offers an enjoyable experience for both children and adults alike, evoking childhood memories of excitement around rails. While there is also a bus route available to get to Orselina, the funicular provides a cute and vintage alternative.
One could also just hike up, but the views up there are great.

The Locarno–Madonna del Sasso funicular is a great way to see some of the best views in Locarno. The ride takes you up to the Madonna del Sasso, which is perched on a cliff overlooking the city and Lake Maggiore. The views from the top are simply stunning, and you can see for miles around.
The tickets are very reasonably priced, and the ride is only a few minutes long but will certainly save the 100’s of steps! It runs very regularly, and has recently been refurbished, making the ride very comfortable.

This is a multi-story museum housing art works (in this case) from a single exhibition - today it was the artists Gilbert & George. The flow and logic of the exhibit's path throughout are easy to follow, and the explanations were in English, German, and Italian. There was a separate room for a documentary film about the artists.

The works are presented in series, we move from one room to another, exploring various facets and current controversies addressed by the duo. Intense at times, funny at others, I spent about an hour there with pleasure!
The only downside is that all the explanations are provided in the introduction and it's hard to remember them after a few rooms...

If you just want to swim in the lake, this public bath is the best option. It's very cheap (3 CHF per adult) compared to the Lido. It has a beautiful lawn as well as a sand beach. You can eat ice cream, French fries, hamburgers and more at the small restaurant. The people are very friendly!

It's a nice and very accessible place. The entrance fee is not so expensive. Good place for picnic of the family.

Definitely worth the 4 euros it costs to get in. Did some paddle board on the lake in the middle of the most gorgeous scenery

A beautiful church in which we spent some time but unfortunately found little historical information on. I searched for foundational dates inside but didn't find anything. I would have loved to find out the meaning of the relief of the horseman on the campanile. He seemed like a secular figure, but the 3 sainted heads hovering above made it even more intriguing. Another reviewer mentioned the style is romanesque, which it indeed appeared to be.

(Translated by Google) Ancient and beautiful Romanesque style church. Traces of original frescoes in various points inside. The crypt located under the main altar which remains raised above the central nave is very beautiful. Side chapels in Baroque style rich in stucco. The eighteenth-century front altar panels in marble flakes are notable and well preserved. To be seen.
(Original)
Antica e bellissima chiesa in stile romanico. Tracce di affreschi originari in vari punti nell'interno. Molto bella la cripta posta sotto l'altare maggiore che rimane rialzato rispetto alla navata centrale. Cappelle laterali in stile barocco ricche di stucchi. Notevoli e ben conservati i settecenteschi pannelli frontali da altare in scaglia di marmo. Da vedere.

(Translated by Google) Just passing the door, it feels good. A little ahead is the train station parking lot. Go to the underground passage. Below is the train station leading to Italy🇮🇹. That kind of train🚞 is very fun.

(Translated by Google) Collegiate Church of San Vittore, the Christmas concert took place at Vos da Locarno and at Canta Donna, a church worth visiting because it is very ancient.

I can't wait to organize a new launch.
Thank you all

A beautiful restaurant with an excellent menu. We enjoyed our entrees and enjoyed the wine as well. My selection of the trout with mountain herbs was tender and delicious. We recommend arriving early and taking time to enjoy the meal. The atmosphere is elegant but with a cozy air. It is quite comfortable for a lingering meal with great conversation.

The food was very disappointing. A so-called mixed salad consisting of chopped green salad and some grated carrot. The whole trout was extremely pickled and served with chopped green lettuce, which was sandy.
The brasato was tender but the porcini and sauce were much hotter and had obviously been heated in the microwave, as had the clump of tasteless polenta.
The waiter was apologetic when we complained. When he told the chef, we heard Italian swear words coming from the kitchen. Having worked in Italy I understood. The waitersaid they were just singing a song! All in all a very disappointing experience, which is a pity for the historical setting.

Avoid avoid avoid... terrible service! We were waiting for 20 minutes for the waiters to even acknowledge we were waiting for a table. The only reply to our request for a table was a waiter pointing to the indoor area with any other explanation provided. Inside, after 15 minutes of waiting to get the menu and several attempts calling the waiters we decided to leave. Worst experience in the Locarno region by far.

(Translated by Google) I have ordered Amuerte gin on several occasions over the last few years, receiving the parcels, each time, within 24 hours.
The gin is of quality, the packaging is solid and ornamental, the package is suitable for transport and the courier is punctual.
I am fully satisfied with the service received over these years.
On a couple of occasions I turned to the seller for courtesies, which were always satisfied.
I think it is one of the best services, for friendliness and speed.
I will buy again.

Sono pienamente soddisfatto del servizio ricevuto nel corso di questi anni.
In un paio di occasioni mi sono rivolto al venditore, per delle cortesie, le quali sono sempre state soddisfatte.
Ritengo sia uno dei migliori servizi, per cordialità e celerità.
Acquisterò ancora.

(Translated by Google) I went to pick up a package in the cellar and I naively parked next to another car outside the parking lot (I state that I was not in any way blocking the passage). At that point I was verbally attacked by a gentleman who works for the company. Assuming that I'm not looking for right or wrong, I think there is a way and a way to treat customers. Too bad because the staff that I then found inside the cellar was truly exceptional.
(Original)
Mi sono recata per ritirare un pacco in cantina e ho ingenuamente parcheggiato di fianco ad un’altra auto fuori dal parcheggio (premetto che non stavo in alcun modo intralciando il passaggio). A quel punto sono stata verbalmente aggredita da un signore che lavora presso la ditta. Partendo dal presupposto che non cerco ragione o torto, penso ci sia modo e modo di trattare la clientela. Peccato perché il personale che ho poi trovato all’interno della cantina è stato davvero eccezionale.

(Translated by Google) A bit hidden but really nicely decorated. We only came because of the “Americanello Ticino” and tasted and learned even more about the great Ticino wines, sparkling wines and liqueurs from the “not pushy, but very friendly and passionate” staff and manager.
We definitely think it’s worth a visit 👍🏻

Wir sind nur wegen dem „Americanello Ticino“ gekommen und haben durch das „nicht aufdringliche, sondern sehr freundliche und leidenschaftliche“ Personal und Geschäftsführer noch mehr über die tollen tessiner Weine, Schaumweine und Likör degustiert.und erfahren.
