Locarno time travel tour

Is it possible to travel through time? We think so! Proof of this is the two-hour tour through the streets of Locarno, offered free of charge by Ascona-Locarno Tourism. Different eras, unknown events from the past, historical personalities, curiosities and an exclusive insight into places normally closed to the public - the perfect mix to set our time machine in motion. But always pay attention to what's happening around you, because with the Locarno Time Travel Tour anything is possible: in just a moment, you’ll be transported from the guide’s stories to a bygone era – complete with colourful characters determined to tell you how things really happened.

 Curtain up! Our journey through time can begin.
