The town of Melide and its surroundings offer the possibility of going on excursions on foot, by boat, by postal bus and also that of practicing sports.
A large square with a children’s playground, a municipal beach, a fitness trail and a promenade along the lake to Bissone complete and enrich the quality of a stay in Melide.
Besides all this, a visit to Swissminiatur, the well-known park of 1 : 25 scale miniatures, permits you to get an idea of the most characteristic and suggestive places in Switzerland in little more than an hour.
Other highlights worth mentioning to the traveller passing through Melide are the Chapel of the Crucifix, very near to where the path for Carona starts and the didactic itinerary devoted to the construction of the bridge-dam.
