The town of Varese, the capital of the province of the same name, is located in the north of Italy, in the region of Lombardy. The province is rich in rivers and lakes, and the combination of the Alps, in the north, and the Po Valley, in the south, make this a wonderful place to take an unforgettable holiday.
Varese is the first town in the world that runs entirely on wind and solar power; and if you are looking for an ecological way of touring the city, it is possible to rent a segway personal transporter here.
On the border with Switzerland is Lake Maggiore, a glacial feature that has eleven picturesque islands. You can visit the Hermitage of Santa Caterina del Sasso, try out sailing, go paragliding, take a horse ride across the beautiful landscape, or go biking.
An excursion that will let you enjoy both history and nature is the Sacro Monte, in the Campo dei Fiori massif. The region has a great many attractive lakes, and as well as Lake Maggiore, you can visit: Lugano, Comabbio, Monate, Varese, Mergozzo and Lake Orta.
The accommodation for visitors is varied and excellent, and the food and drink here are very good. The local people are hospitable and welcoming, so come to Varese, you will love it!
