Swissminiatur in Melide presents Switzerland as a sprawling open-air park with highly detailed models at a scale of 1:25. As you stroll through the park, which covers around 14,000 square metres, you will see handcrafted replicas of famous buildings, monuments, and transport systems lined up next to each other.

Model trains run on an extensive rail network, complemented by ships and cable cars that move through the landscaped miniature world. Its location right on Lake Lugano combines this compact, miniature version of Switzerland with an impressive backdrop of water, mountains and well-kept green spaces. This destination is especially suitable for families.
