Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

A wonderful, expansive piazza with plenty of restaurants, eateries, chocolate shops. It is all for the tourist but there is some quality places even if the prices are higher than across the border. Pleasant in the evening with a cooler breeze coming through.

My wife and I visited that place in July 2019. It was a very nice place and we had a very good chance to visited a music event.

Cafes, shops and bars around the square teaming with wonderful red flowers cascading down from the wonderful buildings. Take your choice from the selection of food on offer or just take a seat to people watch while drinking a coffee or two. We wandered down to the lake and caught the lake cruise with lunch which was a very relaxing two hour trip and good value.

Just walking along the lake front and strolling into the large Piazza which houses banks, restaurants and the City Hall of Lugano takes you on a visual feast of architecture, color, art, aroma and sheer beauty.

The historic centre of Lugano is relatively small with this being the main square - and therefore the obvious place to sit and drink coffee and try and guess who are tourists and who are locals - a game that seems harder than it sued to be. A very pleasant area in a very pleasant town.

maybe it’s just me, but this is exactly how i imagined a little square in a swiss lake town would look like.
