I have a short business meeting in Lugano and will have 6-8 hours downtime. Any thoughts if I stay in Milan and just daytrip for my meeting or should I stay in Lugano? I've been to Milan once for about 3 hours on my way to Venice. Saw the Duomo and Galleria but nothing else except the train station. I've never been to Lugano. Thanks!!

I vote for Lugano, since you've never been there. Relax on the lake shore for the rest of the day.

Stay in Lugano - it beautiful and relaxing and lots of little things to see and do. Don't waste time on a train.

Looks like it is unanimous in favor of Lugano. Any tips on hotels/restaurants or things to do? Thanks!!

At one of the outdoor cafes in the square they had the best Asparagus Risotto I have ever had... sorry, don't know which one, but just check out the menus or peer at people's plates. Yum! I like just wandering around and if I remember correctly they have those wonderful huge European chess sets. Fun to just watch.
