Information about Lugano and environment
Lugano city maps For many years we had access here to two useful interactive city maps. Unfortunately, these maps are no longer as good as they used to be; Lugano Summer School participants are therefore recommended to use the Google Maps service instead. You will find the University, situated at Via Giuseppe Buffi 13; click on the street name given heere or access Google Maps in your accustomed way and search in the map for "University of Lugano, Switzerland" (or, if you prefer, go to "Lugano, Switzerland" and then search for "Via Giuseppe Buffi, Lugano" or "University Lugano"). Note that in Italian language, the University's name is "Università della Svizzera Italiana, Lugano" (University of Italian Switzerland, Lugano).
Allows you to search for street names, piazzas, etc. Enter names without "via", "piazza" etc.; e.g., enter "riforma" for the "Piazza della Riforma" or "buffi" (+ No. 13) for Via Giovanni Buffi, where the University is located. For the university, you may also enter "università" or "USI." |
A free and useful on-line map provided by a commercial on-line map provider. Maps can be zoomed and recentered easily as desired. |
