Where to stay in Davesco-Soragno
The practical side of choosing where to sleep.
Nobody books a hotel in Davesco-Soragno. A former municipality of some two and a half square kilometres, taken into Lugano in 2004, it carries houses and the Museo della Tipografia Renato Fontana rather than a room supply, so the beds that serve it belong to the city. You would stay out here only for an address in the quarter itself.
Central Lugano solves the rest.

About Davesco-Soragno
What are the main landmarks in Davesco-Soragno?
The Museo della Tipografia Renato Fontana is the single listing for Davesco-Soragno, a printing museum carrying the name of Renato Fontana. No second entry follows the printing museum. What the quarter offers instead is the fabric of a former municipality that kept its shape when Lugano took it in, which means houses and lanes rather than a set of sights, and any wider programme in Switzerland begins with a trip back towards the city.
What is the history of Davesco-Soragno?
For most of its recorded life Davesco-Soragno answered to nobody but itself, holding municipal standing over its own ground until that arrangement ended in 2004. Lugano absorbed it. The merger changed the address rather than the place, and the quarter kept the paired name it had carried as a commune.
Inside it, the Museo della Tipografia Renato Fontana keeps the record of a trade.
Where is Davesco-Soragno?
Davesco-Soragno accounts for about two and a half square kilometres of Lugano, the extent it carried as a municipality before 2004. Small ground, one quarter.
