The three castles of Bellinzona (Unesco World Heritage) are an exceptional case among the greatest fortifications of the 15th century, both by the dimension and by the excellent state of conservation. The castles are linked by a wall that once closed the Ticino Valley, and the ramparts which surrounded the town. The apartment lies in the historical district, between the two biggest castles. 7 minutes walk from the main station. Switzerland's public transport is clean, safe, reliable and efficient. Trains and buses are coordinated and well organised. Timetable and prices on the SBB Preview app. Shops, restaurants, parking, banks and tourist office within 2 minutes walk. On Saturday morning (from 8 AM to 1 PM) the farmers' market in the pedestrian area is a popular meeting place. In a convivial atmosphere you will find fruits and vegetables, local cheeses, bread, clothes, household and leisure goods. On market day the restaurants offer modestly priced dishes, such as polenta, risotto and minestrone.
