A quick visit to Cattedrale di San Lorenzo #Lugano

Cattedrale di San Lorenzo was my first actual sight in Lugano. After having arrived by the train station, where I admired the spectacular view, while enjoying a delicious ice-cream, I slowly searched my way downstairs towards the harbour. After taking the steps down, right next to the funicular rail tracks, I stumbled upon this beautiful cathedral. The Cathedral of Saint Lawrence. A roman…

#Xiaomi Mi Band 2 - First Week #Review - how I like the #smart band so far

The Xiaomi Mi Band 2 isn’t my first smart wearable. After having bought the Apple Watch in the same month it launched and sold again just some very several months later, I’d say I already have some experience with those gadgets. Wearables, smart band, call them whatever you want, they literally are a digital watch with some extra features. With such a booming market for those gadgets, literally,…

Relaxing in Parco Ciani right by the Lake in #Lugano

Lugano already convinces with a dreamy location right by the shores of Lake Lugano, with many sky-high mountains and nature all over. Another highlight to me was Parco Ciani. Situated next to the old town, the main city centre by the harbour, the location couldn’t be any better. Relaxing in Parco Ciani right by the Lake has been my ultimate activity, before leaving Ticino again towards Zurich.…

Delicious Pizza at Golfo Restaurant #Lugano Paradiso near the Lake

Pizza should be among your “you have to eat” dishes when visiting Italy. But on a visit to Switzerland? Sure, especially in south-eastern Switzerland. As Switzerland, not only borders to Italy, also the culture in regions such as Ticcino is pretty much Italian. In Lugano Paradiso, I was looking for a Restaurant with Pizza in a nice location and went to Golfo Restaurant at Riva Paradiso. Only a…

In just 2 hours and 12 minutes, the SBB EuroCity Train takes you from Zurich to Lugano. From one City at a Lake to another City at a Lake, but an entirely different climate. May it just be for a day trip, or a holiday, visiting Lugano is always worth any visit. As there is no other form of transportation, except driving a car yourself, I was actually excited for my train trip all the way to…

Review: Quinoa Curry, the new vegetarian McDonald's #Switzerland Burger

The Quinoa Curry Burger is the only vegetarian burger currently offered by McDonald’s Switzerland. Unfortunately, the replacement burger, after the delicious Vegi Mac was discontinued, is absolutely not comparable. While the “original veggie burger”, the McVeggie, had an actual patty in great thickness, the new Quinoa Curry burgeronly features a thin patty made with quinoa and veggies. It’s…
