Ascona has delighted visitors for more than a century. Writers, artists, international jet-setters, and executives have enjoyed glamourous holidays at some of Switzerland’s best luxury hotels and spas. Others have set up semi-permanent or permanent residence to experience a delightful lifestyle year-round. The charming centre dates from the 16th century and offers unique boutiques and fine art galleries tucked away on narrow, cobbled alleys. Gourmands enjoy excellent restaurants featuring rare regional wines and artisanal cheeses and breads. The lakeside piazza and promenade hosts the annual Jazz Ascona festival ([hidden information]) with more than 200 free concerts on the lakefront.
