About us

By Swissminiatur.com editors · Updated

Swissminiatur.com is an independent visitor guide to the Swissminiatur miniature park in Melide, on Lake Lugano in Ticino, and to the area around it. We are not the official website of the park, of Melide, of Lugano Region or of any operator, and we do not sell park tickets. The park’s own website is swissminiatur.ch.

How we research

  • Facts such as hours, distances and facilities come from the park’s pages and tourism pages we read, and we say which and when (November 2026).
  • Where sources disagree, for example the model count (over 130, over 128, over 120), we say so.
  • Prices we could not read on the park’s site are marked as third-party listings.
  • What we could not confirm, such as 2027 dates, model names or boat timetables, we leave out or mark as not verified.
  • Ratings of tours are as shown on GetYourGuide in the month stated.

How the site is funded

Languages

The site is written in English, German and Italian. Each version is written for its readers rather than translated word for word, but the facts, sources and dates are the same. If you spot a difference, please tell us.

What we are not

We are not the park, we have no access to its ticketing, we cannot change an opening time and we cannot answer questions on its behalf. For tickets, opening days and anything about your booking, use the park’s own website, swissminiatur.ch, or call +41 91 640 10 60. We do not accept payment for placing a business in our guides, and we leave out anything we could not check.

Some links are affiliate links: if you book through them we earn a small commission at no extra cost to you. It funds the research behind this site.
