Find train tickets →Lugano Station (Lugano Centro) → Albergo Castelnuovo (via Paradiso stop)
💡 Not useful from airport – you'd need the bus first. From town, ride one stop to Paradiso, then walk 8 minutes uphill. The hotel cable car (Funicolare Cassarate) is a better trick if you're lugging suitcases.
Lugano Station → Albergo Castelnuovo (Pambio-Noranco stop)
💡 This bus goes downhill from the station to the hotel area. Buy a day pass (7.50 CHF) if you're exploring – it covers this route and the funicular. Ask the driver for the stop; it's easy to miss.
Lugano Airport (LUG) → Albergo Castelnuovo
💡 Flag one at the rank outside arrivals. For 30-35 CHF, they'll take you direct – agree on price before setting off if it's late.
