The Quartiere Maghetti is a modern shopping and pedestrian quarter in the centre of Lugano, a cleverly designed complex of squares, passages and terraces housing shops, boutiques, cafes and services. A contrast to the historic arcades of Via Nassa, it gathers fashion, design and everyday stores in a pleasant, walkable setting just off the main square. Convenient and lively, it is a good place to browse a mix of shops and pause for a coffee while exploring the heart of the city, blending contemporary retail with the old town’s charm.
