Staying in Bellinzona means being at the centre of Ticino’s most efficient transport network. Thanks to the Gotthard Base Tunnel — the world’s longest railway tunnel — and the Ceneri Base Tunnel, the Ticino capital has become a primary railway hub connecting the canton to the rest of Switzerland in record time. For those who choose Fortezza Home | Casa as their base for a medium to long-term stay, understanding how to get around smartly is the first step to making the most of every day.

The key advantage reserved for guests of Ticino accommodation is the Ticino Ticket, a benefit that allows the free use of all public transport in the canton for the entire duration of the stay. Regional trains, urban and suburban buses, even some cable cars: all included, at no extra cost. A tangible saving and a tool of freedom to explore the canton sustainably, from the shores of Lake Maggiore to the alpine valleys of Leventina.

Bellinzona is also a model of slow and sustainable urban mobility. The historic city centre is almost entirely pedestrianised, with weekly markets and medieval courtyards that invite long, unhurried walks. For quick inter-district trips, the electric bike-sharing service allows you to reach every corner of the city with a simple tap on your smartphone — an ideal solution for those who want to live Bellinzona like a resident, not a tourist.

From Bellinzona’s main railway station — just steps from Fortezza Home | Casa — you can reach Lugano for a business lunch on the lakeside in under 20 minutes, and Locarno for an open-air cinema evening in under 30 minutes. Choosing public transport is not only a responsible act towards one of the world’s most beautiful alpine landscapes: it is the smartest, most economical and most relaxing way to discover authentic Ticino.
