Bellinzona, Ticino, Switzerland

Samstag 16. Mai 2015

Bellinzona, Ticino, Switzerland..


Bellinzona is the capital of the canton Ticino. On every saturday there is a Saturday Market, and of course we had to be there... and the weather was sunny and warm, so why not. We took the train from Cadenazzo to Bellinzona.



Some people are saying, that Bellinzona is the most Italian town in Switzerland. And if you like old castles, in Bellinzona, there are three, castles of Castelgrande, Castello di Montebello and Castello di Sasso Corbaro, which are listed as a Unesco World Heritage Site.








Castello di Montebello



From the train station it´s only a few minutes walking to the market area. Like always in markets, there´s lots of different things for sale. I didn´t buy anything. My girlfriend bought some special cheese, Caciotta Alle Noci, with walnuts, which was actually very good.































Castelgrande





That was Bellinzona´s saturday market.
