Bus
From the center of Lugano (Piazza della Riforma), walk to the nearby bus stop called 'Piazza della Riforma'. Board the bus number 2 (direction: 'Breganzona') or bus number 7 (direction: 'Cassarate'). Remain on the bus for approximately 15-20 minutes until you reach the stop named 'Lecco'. After disembarking, follow the signs towards the lake, which should be approximately a 10-minute walk downhill from the bus stop.
Train
Make your way to the Lugano train station (Stazione Ferroviaria di Lugano). From there, take a train towards 'Lecco' (you may need to change trains at Monza or Milan depending on the schedule). The journey will take about 1 hour. Once you arrive at 'Lecco' station, exit and follow the signs towards the lake, which is about a 15-minute walk from the station.
