Sunny days in Ascona, Switzerland

Spent a couple of sunny days in Ascona, Switzerland. Ascona is a very pretty town in Kanton Ticino, it is a very short bus ride from Locarno. We took train from Zurich to Locarno, would be easy trip also coming from Milan for example.

We took a boat trip to Brissago Island which has around 2000 plants from around the world. Takes about 15 minutes from Ascona pier.

There is a very fun restaurant in Ascona where there are no reservations or menu, you sit where there is space at a table and eat what they bring you. Costs 20chf. We had salad, salami and cheese platter and pasta in tomato sauce, there was choice of 2 deserts. We were seated next to a group of 4 people who were from our city which was funny. Drinks are extra.
