/ We travel a few miles from Locarno, Switzerland to Ascona by city bus for a walk around this waterfront village, with many pedestrian lanes, and delicious restaurants. Ascona is famous for its mild climate, its Old Town and a lake promenade which is dotted with street cafés and boasts a Latin ambience. We enjoyed a great walk along the lake with nice weather and so it was a very good day. Very nice and relaxing place for whole family. Then we take the boat back to Locarno.
