Mendrisio
Switzerland
A compact Swiss-Italian town in Ticino's wine country, Mendrisio has a café and restaurant scene that punches above its size, alongside an unusual concentration of churches. It is home to the Accademia di Architettura of the University of Italian-speaking Switzerland, and the wider region is ringed by UNESCO World Heritage sites. Scenic viewpoints lie in the surrounding hills, and the town sits close to both water and mountains.
