Delivery tips for Lugano and Ticino

  • Postcodes: Ticino postcodes start with 6, and Lugano itself uses codes starting with 69. Always check the exact four-digit postcode, as many lakeside villages share a municipality but have their own code.
  • Hillside addresses: in villages above Lake Lugano or Lake Maggiore, houses can be hard to find. Add a phone number and any helpful detail (house name, building, floor).
  • Name on the letterbox: couriers rely on it; use “c/o” if the recipient’s name is not on the box.
  • Card language: Italian is the local language. A short message in Italian is a lovely touch (“Tanti auguri!”, “Con affetto”), but English is fine too. For more ideas, read what to write on a flower card.
  • Holiday homes: if the recipient is staying in a holiday flat, make sure someone will be there to receive the box; boxed bouquets cannot be left in the sun for hours.
  • Summer heat: Ticino is the warmest part of Switzerland. In summer, a morning delivery slot can help the flowers arrive in better condition, and the recipient should put them in water quickly. See how to make flowers last longer.

Hospitals and funeral flowers in Ticino

For hospitals and clinics in Lugano, Bellinzona or Locarno, include the patient’s name, ward and room, and check beforehand whether flowers are allowed; rules vary and some units refuse them. Our get-well-soon flowers guide explains what usually works.

For a funeral, send flowers to the funeral home or the church, with the name of the deceased and the time of the service. Allow at least two days for KANEL’s funeral arrangements (CHF 155–1155, free delivery). Our funeral flowers guide covers formats and etiquette.
