Locarno, Switzerland - The favourite city of the movie lovers

Locarno is an Italian-speaking resort city in southern Switzerland, on Lake Maggiore at the base of the Alps. It is well known for its annual film festival held every August in Piazza Grande, the heart of the city. The Locarno film festival is one of the most important film festivals alongside Cannes, Berlin and Venice and is also known for being a platform for art house films. The 74th edition of the Locarno Film Festival will take place from 4 to 14 August 2021.
Southern plants such as palm trees or lemon trees flourish in Locarno and give the city its special charm. The narrow lanes of the Old Town all lead to the Piazza. Castello Visconteo, a castle dating back to the 12th century, lies at the edge of the Old Town. About a fifth of the castle has been preserved in its original state. Splendid upper-town palazzi house fine art collections and the lake promenade offers relaxed strolling.
