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

Come back after 4 years with children. Still great, unbelievable experience. Great birds, grat show, great investment in this place and in training. Eagles flying to your face many surprises. I'll vote again

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.

This woman is magical Shes like a Mix of Artemis and Athena Thank you for one of the best days in my life. I love birds (animals) so much 🕊🦅🦜Please continue taking care for them in this little paradise ❤️

Pricey for what it is. We came 10min earlier off-season and all the good seats in the shade where already taken. We sat at the side and therefore barely saw the birds.

Great place to spend 45 minutes birds live show, and take picture from very short distance of birds, real fun and instructive informations for adults and childrens, a lovely place to enjoy a brunch and drinks

The vibrant heart of charming Locarno, bustling with shops, restaurants, cafes, hotels & more. Overflowing with chairs and celebrity buzz during the prestigious annual Locarno International Film Festival! 🏞️ 🛍️ 🥙 ☕️ 🎬

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.

One of the greatest and largest open air cinema spaces in the world! A must visit for every film festival lover/professional!

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.

Great artisan market beautiful architecture. Covered shopping alley. Great cafes and restaurants /Bar walking distance to everything

Nice large square surrounded with beautifull buildings. Like other places in Locarno, it have an Mediterran flair. It is the main square where many events are organized through the year

Worth stopping here if your going to see the castles! Busy on the weekends but calmer during the week. Check out the church too. Incredible detail inside.

The events that Locarno organizes are simply amazing. Winterland at Piazza Grande was well organized, great skating and shopping opportunities, and the videomapping fairy tale was fabulous. Many thanks to the organizers, I am looking forward to more such events in Locarno!

I was in Piazza Grande for Eros Ramazzotti live concert. Fantastic experience, fantastic atmosphere, fantastic people... I am looking forward for next year concert season in Locarno, Switzerland.. I highly recommend you to monitor the concerts next sprint to checkout the singers or bands... Cheers!

It's a center of locarno where everything is here and when the time we visits its Christmas holidays and lot of Christmas lights

Amazing Piazza with beautiful old buildings. Many cafes and restaurants, however very touristy. But great for a coffee and sit and admire the surroundings

Nice, big and beautiful place with friendly people and great bars!

Grand. Saw many films here during the festival. Loved every rainy and starry and sunny moment.

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.

Great pool, superb view, very kid-friendly. One outside pools is heated to what feels like 36°. Starting September 2023 they are renovating quite few pools too!

Well organized lido with a lot of swimming pools and one of them with hot water. There is also a diving area with trampoline and also a local restaurant which serves burgers, salats & pizza. The entry price for an adult is only 13 CHF. Totally worth the drive from Zurich considering the huge temperature differences ☀️🔝

I love this place , very neat and clean 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

I was there with my daughter today. I paid extra for her to be able to go on the slides. However her ticket did not work and would not let her on the slides. When I went to complain they refused to either replace the ticket or refund the extra money.

A large and beautiful bathhouse, which has something for every age. There is good food, friendly staff, Entertainment and a lot of fun. 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.

Arrive early, spend the day. 45+ CHF for 2 adults & 2 kids under 9. Take lunch with you, very expensive. Great pools, some slides and well organised. Can swim also in the lake. Hi dive boards are cool. A great day out. Slides are NOT for under 6 years old.

Several pools: inside, outside, warm, cold, deep, flat, hot tub, slides and high diving. Big green area on the lake, small restaurant. Clean toilets, rest- and changingrooms with lockers.

What a view! Makes your palms sweaty it's so high! Definitely worth a visit, the views are impressive. There's a bungee jump if you're feeling rather brave, if not stand back and watch someone else!

A very great view of the dam and you can bungee jump there she third largest bungee jump in Europe

If you ever wondered where James Bond, Base jumped off the dam, this is the one. World famous!!! Very impressive, scenery and the site are very picturesque, and a great drive up to the spot. There is a little kiosk there, and a lot of people.

Absolutely awesome. Great illumination every time of the year

Nice views. Impressive. Not much to do other than looking at the dam, and some times people bungee jumping, but still an impressive piece of engineering.

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 007 movie Goldeneye 1995 was shooting there, Pierce Borsnan was brave for bungee jumping 👏

Amazing structure (1m lower than Hoover Dam) with great views. Inspired by James Bond movies many people are doing jumps of the dam. There are beautiful winding rows leading to the dam and going further there is a picturesque bridge.

RED Bull Dual Ascent Event

Wanna jump in? Go in the summer (and bring the money)... Or you can go during the winter like I did and you'll be all alone. An excellent panoramic spot.

The Contra Dam, commonly known as the Verzasca Dam and the Locarno Dam, is an arch dam on the Verzasca River in the Val Verzasca of Ticino, Switzerland. 5.6.2022

Good castle but in my opinion could be better exploited

There were barely any people, really quiet and enjoyable castle! You can even hear alot of the birds. Interesting material,clothes and alot of story about it! Kinda dangerous in the top side of the castle there were some open places so I would be careful if I brought a kid with me. But from 0/10 experience i would rate a 8/10

🏰👍🏻

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.

Everything in italian and no explantion of the building. Also drawings from teenager on the wall.

Nice castle. The whole museum outdated. Staff not very friendly. Go there just to see the castle, which is interesting, but could do with some repair and maintenance.

Visconteo Castle in Locarno, is part of a Swiss heritage site. This castle is partially demolished and is now a museum.

Beautifully preserved castle in the heart of Locarno

Welcome venue during a rainy day. Very well presented and explained artefacts.

Incredibly ugly building with large display on the front doesn't belong in a pretty town like Locarno

The owners answered extensively to my emails. Steveurech.tech

Recently renovated local casinò. Casual and laid-back atmosphere. The place attracts mostly locals and tourists. Slot machines, roulette, american roulette and blackjack are available. Friendly and efficient staff. Bar is good and with standard bar prices. Must have an ID card or driving license to enter.

ID required to enter. Clean and tidy, but has smoking portion behind mirrored doors. Across Swiss francs and Euros
