The lake
About this Lake Lugano map poster
Lake Lugano straddles the border between Switzerland and Italy, and its outline is one of the most irregular in the Alpine region. Instead of a single basin it bends through a series of narrow arms, turning back and forth between steep mountainsides, so that from above it looks almost like a lightning bolt.
The city of Lugano spreads along a bay on the northern shore, with Monte San Salvatore and Monte Brè rising on either side. Near Melide a low causeway crosses the lake, carrying both road and railway, and it divides the water into distinct sections on the map.
One curiosity sits on the eastern shore: Campione d'Italia, a small Italian exclave surrounded by Swiss territory. A Lake Lugano map poster makes room for all of these turns, bays and borders in one compact, tightly drawn composition.

Lugano bay
The city's streets curve around a wide bay framed by two mountains, the densest area of detail anywhere on the lake.
Campione d'Italia
On the eastern shore a small Italian enclave is surrounded by Swiss territory, a border oddity set right on the water's edge.

Why Lake Lugano
A map that means something
Lugano appeals to people who know the Ticino region, whether through work in the city, a holiday by the lake or family on either side of the border. Its angular shape gives a poster a strong, unusual silhouette.
Personalise the title and subtitle, perhaps with a village name and year, and set the coordinates line to a meaningful spot. Five styles are available, Classic black & white, Noir, Paper, Blueprint and Sand, and printed posters come on matte paper with an optional wooden frame.
