Mendrisio




Switzerland, officially the Swiss Confederation, is a landlocked Alpine country in Central Europe. The country, which borders Germany to the north, France to the west, Italy to the south, and Austria and Liechtenstein to the east, was historically a confederation, and has been a federation since 1848. Switzerland is a federation of relatively autonomous cantons, some of which have a history of confederacy that goes back more than 700 years, arguably putting them among the world's oldest surviving republics.
 
With an area of 41,285 square kilometers, Switzerland is a relatively small country. Switzerland comprises three basic topographical areas namely the Swiss Alps, the Swiss plateau, and the Jura Mountains. Switzerland has four official languages namely German, French, Italian and Romansh.
 
Mendrisio is one of the favorite tourist destinations in Switzerland. It is a city in the Southern part of the nation, in canton Ticino. It is also the capital of Switzerland's southernmost district, called Mendrisiotto. In the Italian language, Mendrisio is called as il magnifico borgo which means the magnificent town due to its numerous elegant historical buildings.
 
The municipality was boosted in size on 4 April, 2004 when it incorporated the former municipality of Salorino. The city is well known for its typical Good Friday procession, when a live recreation of Christ's passion is enacted, and also for the grape festival called as Sagra dell uva which takes place in the late September.
 
A thousand surprising discoveries, great kids hotels, excellent family resorts, one country, Mendrisio is a truly unique adventure playground for all those who want more than just the seaside, who want more originality, and authenticity, more variety and more family fun. Here, everything is just around the corner and nothing is closer than pure enjoyment.
