Lugano's nice, but Basel is sunnier. While it's closer to Germany and France, and has as many Italian speakers as Ticino, at least Italian isn't an official language there.

Who told you this bs?

I wish they'd slow down. Everyone is russian around here.

I hope the Swiss won't let them anywhere near Morcote.

Oh no, don't tell me the Russians have arrived. Bugger. They ruin all the best places.

Well I would suggest the "leafy" suburbs, rather than the concrete jungle.

I mean there are plenty of nice areas that aren't expensive. Parts of Oerlikon are nice. 4 minute S Bahn ride to Zürich HBF.

I'd go for Kloten if the air noise is not of your concern. Close to the center, airport and many workplace, extremely well connected to most areas. And cheap.

The trains are so reliable and regular you can easily live in one of the outlying towns on the lake and get to work with a 20 minute commute.

Good. Keeps the plebs out, and last time I went, Russian tourists hadn't discovered it.

At swiss prices though.

The best thing about Zürich is the last train to Basel.
