Free public transportation in Ticino

From this year’s edition, every form of admission to the Festival (single ticket, Day pass, season ticket, accreditation) will entitle the holder to free use of public transportation in the whole of Canton Ticino for the period of its validity. This initiative has been made possible thanks to our valuable partnership with Swiss train operator FFS, giving a further boost to sustainable mobility alongside the other measures already taken by the Festival to reduce its environmental impact.
