Every year, Lugano keeps a weekend for this. The finest classic cars and their collectors come from across the world, brought before a jury of the most respected names in the motoring world.

Before the crowds, the weekend belongs to the participants. They are welcomed into the best of Lugano’s hospitality, and their cars are treated as the art they are, on the roads through the region and in settings where their beauty speaks for itself.

Then the doors open. The cars fill the old town, open-air and free to everyone, and every year we bring something the world has never seen before.

A carefully curated route runs on the second day of the program, offering entrants time on the lake shore, the hills above it, and the descents back down, driven together as a group across the day. The tour is a scenic drive, exploring the hills and lakeside roads of the Lugano Region.

Stops are built into the route, timed to bring the tour back into Lugano in time for the day’s evening event.
