Take a tour of Swiss Town of Morcote in Morcote, Switzerland – part of the World’s Greatest Attractions travel video series by GeoBeats.

Situated on the shore of the beautiful Swiss lake, Lugano , is the even more beautiful town of Morcote.

It's a smaller town, whose buildings and streets hearken back to a time when communities were more closely knit.

Morcote as a town has existed since at least the tenth century and many of its alleyways attest to its medieval origins.

The waters of Lake Lugano, today and throughout history, have been an important part of the town’s fishing and trade industries.

One of the town's most famous sites is the 15th century Renaissance and Baroque style Santa Maria Del Sasso church.

Morcote offers several pleasant lakeside walkways and many restaurants and cafes that provide excellent views.
