Placed within a quiet, green area between the Alps and the northern Italian lake district, Varese is often referred to as ‘Milan’s garden’ due to the splendour of its natural settings and the beauty of its urban architecture, dotted with historic palaces, villas and museums which cover many different artistic styles: while the San Giovanni Baptistery is built in a trademark Gothic-Romanesque style, other buildings show a most distinctive Baroque style, like the San Vittore Church, or a neoclassical one, like Palazzo Estense, the seat of the city library and also a beautiful venue for classical music concerts and various events. Another appreciated destination near the city centre is the Sacro Monte Di Varese Holy Road, a route covering a 2 kilometres-long cobbled trail dotted with 14 different chapels and culminating at the top of a mountain where you will find a Sanctuary dedicated to the Virgin Mary. The view from here is quite impressive, allowing you to soak in the majestic outline of the Alps dominating the plains of Lombardy. On a more material level, Varese also offers you the chance of tasting many delicious lake fish-based dishes, locally sourced cheese and also game and beef dishes. As far as desserts are concerned, traditional specialties comprise the Brutti e buoni (literally Ugly and good, biscuits made out of a mix of almonds, nuts, sugar and egg whites) and the amaretti, almond-flavoured macarons coming from the Gallarate town area.
For many Italians living in Milan, Varese is quite a popular destination for daily trips, as it is very close to Lombardy’s main town. Besides its lively and culturally rich historic centre, Varese is the ideal place for people wishing to detox from the city hustle and take in some fresh air as well. Walking, cycling and hiking trails are spread all around the Lake Varese area, allowing anyone to find a suitable open-air activity to spend their free time. Also, Varese stands very close to the lake district spreading across Lombardy and Piedmont regions, where Lakes Orta and Maggiore are. All these destinations are quite easy to reach by car, a means of transport which also grants you a quite safer and more comfortable travel in wintertime, when snowfalls are quite frequent here. Our rental office in Varese will get you a new, safe and comfortable vehicle to get everywhere you need and want to go during your winter or summer vacation, allowing you to choose from a very wide variety of makes and models.
