Question
Hello-
I am going to be taking the Cisalpino from Zurich to Milan. I wanted to stop at Lugano for a few hours along the way...is this allowed? If you have a ticket for a specific train(I was thinking of getting the non-refundable youth ticket) can you hop off at a stop and get on the next one? If not, is there a way to book the trip to include a stop? Thanks!
P.S. is Lugano worth the stop over for a few hours?
Answer
Hello Jed
thanks for the question. I was out of town until now, sorry I could not answer sooner.
I have two or so questions:
where will you be buying this so-called non-refundable youth ticket, in your home country (where is that?) or in Zurich?
is this ticket part of a eurail pass or someother pass?
I'm asking because I never heard of a non-refundable youth ticket.
As far as I know, under normal circumstances you can get off at any stop and get back on as long as the ticket is good for min 24 hours which almost all tickets are.
Also what time of the year are you travelling? Lugano and Como are beautiful in summer, but not so special in winter...
Lugano is certainly one of the loveliest, relaxed places, well-known for its business and university. Pretty panorama looking out over the lake. There is some good but expensive shopping on the via Nassa. Como is also great, real italian feeling of course. Bellinzona is also a stop on the way (one of the trains (ie the one leaving at 12:09)on the timetable stops there too. (see www.sbb.ch available in english)
Hope this info helps. If you need more, just let me know.
All the best - Judith
