Bellinzona city of castles. Other cities like Lugano, Locarno or Ascona are mostly preferred, which is not very fair, I think. The Tibetan Bridge, the Monte Carasso or even the castles characterize Bellinzona. The tour can be combined very well with a pleasure path, because in the castles there is a restaurant. I finally decided to go to the Grotto in Castelgrande and enjoyed a little something there. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Castles in Bellinzona<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

In the 15th century, the castles served as dams and control of the access routes to the Alpine passes. Today museums and restaurants are integrated. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The itineraries can be done on foot or with the Trentino. The round trip with the Trenino costs CHF 12 and takes about 1 hour. On foot it is about 8 km and you have to calculate with 3 hours. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Castelgrande<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The Castelgrande is accessible by lift. So you can also take a baby carriage up to the castle. Since this castle is located in the center, it is also very popular. Especially the grotto with the beautiful terrace is a highlight. One looks directly at the other castles. Also the food tastes wonderful. I can only recommend the goat cheese with herbs on the hot lava stone. This tastes simply delicious. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Montebello<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

I personally like this castle best. From the terrace in the grotto of Castelgrande Castle you have a wonderful view of Castello Montebello. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sasso Corbaro<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

This castle was built in only 6 months. The Duke of Milan had commissioned it and it was built in 1479. In 1919 it was acquired by the Canton of Ticino. Today there is a museum and a restaurant in the building. The kitchen is said to be very good. Unfortunately I could not eat there because I was upstairs too early. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Culinary Bellinzona can be seen. Also the Al Porto opposite the train station invites for a coffee break. The Panettone with chestnuts is recommended. This is also an ideal souvenir from Ticino. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
