Hotels in Locarno Famous for its climate, the mildest in Switzerland, with around 2,300 hours of sunshine per year, and its International Film Festival, which takes place in August, Locarno is a small town which has spread over the wide delta of the river Maggia. The sunny banks of Lake Maggiore, the Mediterranean flora in its parks, the entirely Italian charm of the centre, and the various relaxation opportunities as well as a wide range of hotels are all an invitation to stay. Locarno is dominated by the Sanctuary of Madonna del Sasso and lies at the foot of majestic green valleys which lead up to the glaciers; the city has been an important tourist destination for over a century. Locarno is a starting point for many excursions up the valleys or around the lake, and it is also a beach resort, particularly animated during the summer with music in the squares, cultural events and a lively nightlife. Thanks to the favourable climate, spring comes early in Locarno. Lovers of nature are drawn by the spectacular shows of camelias, mimosa and magnolias, which often flower in February when the mountain tops are still covered in snow. The clear autumn days attract those who are looking for a quiet stay and day trips. Locarno with its surrounding area has a population of about 25,000. In Roman times it was already an important strategic and commercial centre. The past is visible today in monuments such as the Visconti Castle with its impressive fortified tower, old churches and elegant houses of the old nobility. Piazza Grande, from which narrow streets lead up to the picturesque Old Town (Città Vecchia), is one of the largest and most famous squares in Switzerland. This is the meeting place and heart of the town, and the main commercial activity takes place here: on Thursdays there is the popular market, and in August the evening screenings of the world-famous Film Festival.
