With so many lakes dotted across the province of Varese it is no wonder the area offers unlimited ways to spend marvellous lake-weekends in Varese. Find your perfect place among the tiny fisherman villages along the lombardy shore of Lake Maggiore, or rent a bike to discover the coast of lake Varese. If you prefer the less known places, move to Valganna, a green valley situated not far from the Swiss border: over there you’ll find the small lake of Ghirla, surrounded only by real nature.

“Città Giardino” means “Garden Town” and is the main nicknames of Varese: why? Because of the green color that characterizes the area, made by huge parks and gardens of old italian villas. 

If you want to discover how Northern Italy’s aristocratic families used to spend their holidays when they flocked to the lakes in the past, organize a tour around the public and privately-owned Italian gardens and parks in and around Varese.
