In the environs, but also in the city itself you will find an interesting mix of Mediterranean flair and Alpine cordiality: Italian ice-cream parlours next to shops with Tyrolean bacon, modern architecture à la Matteo Thun next to the venerable Kurhaus building, noble boutiques next to traditional shops.
