How to get to the University of Lugano

By car
Leaving the motorway at the Lugano SUD exit, follow the signs for the town centre keeping by the lakeside (Lungolago); having gone past the Casinò (on your left) and past the Congress Hall (on your right), turn left into Via Lucchini and drive straight up till you see the University at the top of the street.
Leaving the motorway at the Lugano NORD exit, follow the signs for the town centre, down the hill and round, through the railway underpass; then down keeping to the left-hand lane, and continue to follow the signs for ‘University’ till you reach Via Buffi.

By train
From Lugano’s main train station catch the funicular down to the centre of town, and weave your way under porticoes and along shop-lined streets, to catch either a no. 3 or a no.5 bus, which will take you very close to the University.

By plane
Lugano Airport, located in Agno (about 6 km from Lugano town centre), offers direct-flight connections to the main Swiss and some European cities. Also, Milano-Malpensa Airport, some 60 km away, may be easily reached by shuttle bus.

Transport
If you need to reach Lugano from another European country you can either do it by train (check the international timetable) or by air. The closest airports are Lugano-Agno and Milano-Malpensa. From Lugano-Agno you can take the shuttle bus directly to your hotel. From Milano-Malpensa to Lugano you take a shuttle bus (alternative) to the train station of Lugano.
