Itinerary description
English (castellano below):
Variant of the normal tour due to one path not available because of the Swiss National day (August 1st).
There are several parking options in the city center. We decided to park in the street so it was free of charge.
All the way is very easy to walk and the castles are opened so you can visit them from the inside. There are different compartments which are transformed as museums which cost 5 CHF on each.
Due to the festivity one of the marked paths was closed so we had o go around it. We ended up following the road but there were always shortcuts via the forest. The worst part it's about 1.5 km that is more steep than the rest, but overall it's a nice family walk.
There are restaurants in the first (Castelgrande) and the last castle (Sasso Corbaro).

Castellano:
Variante del tour normal debido a que un camino estaba cortado por la fiesta del día nacional de Suiza (1 Agosto).
Hay varias zonas de aparcamiento en el centro de la ciudad. Nosotros decidimos aparcar en la calle por lo que el parking era gratuito.
Todo el camino es fácil de andar y los castillos están abiertos así que puedes visitar su interior también. Hay diferentes compartimentos que se han convertido en museos para los que sí habrá que pagar por su visita en caso de querer hacerlo 5 CHF cada uno.
Debido a la fiesta nacional uno de los camions de la ruta estaba cerrado así que tuvimos que bordearlo. Acabamos siguiendo la carretera aunque siempre te encuentras atajos a través del monte para no tener que ir con los coches. La peor parte son como 1,5 km que son más empinados que el resto, pero en general es un camino sencillo para hacer en familia.
Hay restaurantes en el primer y el en último castillo (Castelgrande y Sasso Corbaro).

Nice circular walk around the three Bellinzona castles. The old town is also very nice, and lots of other things to see/do in the area...
The information in Lidano is very bad. No one in information center and after 20 minutes for route 1 we were already completely lost. We were suddenly on a slippery and dangerous path up hill. We decided to go back. After 25 minutes we were to our own surprise back at our car. What a waste! Never again to Ludano.
