About Varese City

 Varese is a lively town settled on a hilly territory, rich in rivers and lakes, at the foot of Mount Campo dei Fiori.

 “Varese Città Giardino” is the appellative that perfectly describes the marriage between art and nature that, from many centuries, characterizes the soul of the town.
Landscape, architectural and artistic beauties were very appreciated since the 18th century, when the city became a holiday des tina tion.
Then, at the beginning of the 20th century, the “Art Nouveau” style "bloomed" with villas and hotels. The entrepreneurial genius joined the artistic one, setting in a harmonious and soul-stirring landscape. The history of Varese has excellence in sport (basketball, football, rowing and road bicycle racing) and also in industry field (aircrafts, motorbikes, shoes, briar pipes and kitchen furniture). Varese has a touristic offer suitable to satisfy the requests of every visitor.
