Castelgrande - Bellinzona

The food was great and so beautifully presented we loved it and could not resist having a dessert too . Wonderful service from very nice staff always with a smile a real treat thank you all Last but not least great wines Over all a super good time

Great food with local wines and amazing view. We all enjoyed our lunch as the service was fast, attentive and friendly. Would most definitely recommend this restaurant. The Entrecôte was delicious.

It is no wonder that this complex was declared a World Heritage Site by UNESCO. This example of an Alpine fortress is not only picturesque like few others, but it illustrates a lifestyle and an era in an exemplary way. The three castles are of rare beauty and are very well restored. The wall joins two of them and is articulated with the city, offering a unique walk from a privileged point of view. As if something were missing, the natural landscape that surrounds Bellinzona, especially if it is crowned with snow, provides a perfect background for contemplating the monuments. I have not given the maximum score while waiting for the two castles closed for repairs to reopen.

The view from the well-restored castles is great. The area around the castles is ideal for hiking.

Beautiful, preserved and kept to perfection, we spent a couple of hours among the old walls and tunnels, it felt like we were in the Middle Ages.
