Monte Brè is a mountain on the eastern edge of Lugano, rising above the lake and the Cassarate district. A funicular in two sections, first opened in 1908, climbs 1.6 km from Cassarate to the summit station at 915 m; from the top, paths lead to the village of Brè with its outdoor artworks and the Wilhelm Schmid Museum.
Monte San Salvatore is a 912 m mountain rising above Lake Lugano south of the city centre. A funicular built in 1890 climbs from Lugano-Paradiso to the summit in about 12 minutes, with a change of car halfway at Pazzallo; at the top are a church, a restaurant, a small museum on the mountain's history and a lookout over the lake.

More than 130 handmade models of buildings, castles, churches and monuments at a scale of 1:25 stand among flowerbeds, while 18 model trains run on about 3.5 km of track alongside cable cars and boats.
