Morcote
Switzerland
This photogenic village on the shore of Lake Lugano in Switzerland's Ticino canton, Morcote pairs its waterfront arcades and Renaissance church with a monumental staircase of over four hundred steps leading up to the church, a noted cemetery, and the Parco Scherrer. The former trading settlement, once dominated by a Renaissance church and a ruined castle, sits in wine-growing country a short distance from Lugano, with scenic viewpoints in the surrounding hills.
