Top 50 things to do and attractions in Varese

Amazing park and modern art collection. Especially the light installations are spectacular

An absolutely charming place. The villa itself is beautifully preserved, with a wonderful balance between its historic elegance and the contemporary art thoughtfully displayed throughout. It’s a joy to walk through each room, the curation is refined and full of personality. The gardens are equally delightful, with fruit trees and peaceful green corners that invite you to linger. We also had a lovely meal at the café, which made the whole visit feel even more special. Altogether, a colourful, uplifting experience, full of beauty, care, and quiet charm.

Simply stunning both within the curated contemporary art housed within a stunning villa and the gardens outside.

We absolutely loved our visit to Villa Panza in Varese. The artwork, design, and gardens are simply beautiful and inspiring at every turn. To make it even more special, a sweet little cat followed us along during our visit—she was just adorable! A truly magical experience. 🩶

What a fascinating place both inside and outside. We went mainly to see the modern American art. But found everything worth seeing. The grounds and garden are lovely. And the interior furnishings are spectacular. Then there are the surprising pieces of American pop art from the 60's intermixed throughout. The light installation across several rooms by Dan Flaviny was luminescentp and impossible to capture on photos. A delightful experience all the way around.

Beautiful expansive park with world class Art collection e.g. James Turrel. On site parking. Great spot to make a break during a road trip from Switzerland to Italy.

Villa Panza is a fantastic example of a restored 19th century Italian country villa. The interior is lovingly curated with modern art works whilst the formal gardens are stunningly manicured. The FIA's restoration and management of this property is commendable.

Really worth visiting but it's a long uphill walk. Great exercise and you can treat yourself to a drink or food when you reach the top if you think you've lost lots of calories on the way up. Lots of history, beautiful views. Finding a car parking space was a challenge but definitely worth the effort & stress.

Sacro Monte is a world class experience not yet overrun by tourism, and unbelievably its free! The hour's walk from the carpark reveals the story of Jesus through 14 chapels with life sized vignettes created centuries ago. It gets steep in parts but there is a pebbled path the whole way. The view from the top is a fitting reward. A vernacular is available for those who are physically challenged. Catch the C Bus from Varese to Prima Capella (end destination). Pay 1.60 euros on board with coins or card.

Just breathtaking. It's a holy town, a destination for pilgrimages for people around, and it's full of history and charmingly picturesque. I felt like Alice in Wonderland, walking through the winding stepped streets, finding its hidden secrets. We have driven all the way up by car, but beware, the parking is very limited, there might be around 50 parking spaces max for visitors. And the vistas from the top overlook the landscape for 20km around, it's magical!

Great place to visit for the views & history. We got the bus (Line C) up from Varese town centre to the top of the hill then took the funicular up to Sacro Monte itself. Gorgeous views out over the hills, lakes & Varese itself. Lots of historic buildings & churches at the top. We walked back down the pilgrimage route passing the 14 chapels/shrines along the way. Well worth a visit.

Stunning Sacro Monte di Varese, a UNESCO World Heritage site, where we explore its beautiful chapels and breathtaking views. The Path of the Chapels is an uphill climb of about 2 kilometers (about 1.2 miles), though it feels much longer when you are walking it, as it zig-zags you up by 245 meters (about 804 ft.) and can be a little steep in places. Each chapel is frescoed inside, and sometimes outside, and filled with sculptures illustrating scenes from Jesus’ life.

Amazing, dramatic - yet not too taxing - climb up via 14 elegant 17thC chapels on wide path to reach spectacular hilltop village based around convent. Incredible views across Varese lakes and heavily wooded hills and valleys. Stunning.

Beautiful place UNESCO site , steep climb or take the Funacular , you can get a bus to funacular which takes you up to the village . Check the opening days and times for Funacular

Calm, peaceful in the middle of the city, I really liked the rooms depicting art using light, very unique.

Rich collection of historic treasures in a great villa with an amazing park sorrounding. I'ts a must.

A special place to visit! Nice temporary exibitions.

It is closed!! Because of Corona. No Information at all.

(Translated by Google) Historic villa surrounded by greenery, which houses a well-kept museum. The exhibition itinerary crosses different eras, from prehistory to the Renaissance, up to science and contemporary history. The collections are varied and well organised, ideal for both enthusiasts and families. A fascinating place that combines culture, history and nature. The most evocative room in my opinion is that of the butterflies and the mummy. (Original) Villa storica immersa nel verde, che ospita un museo ben curato. Il percorso espositivo attraversa diverse epoche, dalla preistoria al Rinascimento, fino ad arrivare alla scienza e alla storia contemporanea. Le collezioni sono varie e ben organizzate, ideali sia per appassionati che per famiglie. Un luogo affascinante che unisce cultura, storia e natura. La stanza più suggestiva secondo me è quella delle farfalle e della mummia.

(Translated by Google) A very interesting museum located inside Villa Mirabello, with an entire section dedicated to the Castiglioni brothers, where films, artifacts, photos, and other items recount their experiences on various trips. The rest of the museum is also interesting, focusing in particular on the Varese area. The mummy is particularly interesting. The only drawback is that there is no air conditioning, and it was very hot inside, so if you want to visit calmly, you need at least a couple of hours. The price is more than fair. Outside, there is a beautiful, shaded park where you can take a relaxing stroll. (Original) Museo posto all interno di villa Mirabello molto interessante, molto interessante un intera sezione dedicata ai fratelli Castiglioni dove tra filmati,reperti ,foto e quant'altro si raccontano le loro esperienze dei vari viaggi, interessante anche il resto del museo che in modo particolare tratta del territorio di Varese.Di particolare interesse la mummia .Unico neo non essendoci aria condizionata all interno faceva molto caldo anche perché se si vuole visitare con calma servono almeno un paio d ore.Prezzo più che onesto.All esterno un bel parco ombreggiato dove poter fare una rilassante passeggiata.

An old-fashioned archeo museum, all in Italian unfortunately. Divided into 5 sections: late-colonial African studies,Italian struggle for independence, Roman relics, prehistoric finds of Varese area and some natural studies like butterfly collection. We were the only guests in the entire museum and by the reaction of the staff, they were surprised to see any visitors there themselves. It's all interesting visually, but unfortunately it can't be enjoyed at its most because there is not a single English sentence in the entire museum, everything is Italian only. A bit of a shame. It's a bit of an old fashioned museum also, with tons of text and no interactive pieces. But for €5 it's worth a visit, overall.

Beautiful church located in the hearth of Varese historical city centre. I am not rating this place 5 stars as the outside area is not well curated or monitored from local police and authorities. At the time of my visit, there were a baby gang with loud music - what a shame in front of a church. Where is the police???

A very pretty church in Varese. The interior justifies the plain exterior- offering beautiful frescos and sculptures. The bell tower is also very pretty.

Amazing square with a beautiful church and big campanile!! Awesome in the night with light lights and atmosphere!! Is a pedestrian area to have a good walk and see lots of historical places!! ✌️🇮🇹

Located right at the heart of Varese, an excellent location to hang out during evenings. The wonderful architecture of the basilica and the amazing clock tower adds to the charm of the entire location. Do take a stroll here especially after a heavy dinner in one of the many awesome restaurants nearby! #basilica #varese #LetsGuide #travel

Closed must of the time

Casa Museo Ludovico Pogliaghi is a mesmerizing treasure trove where the artist’s own work blends seamlessly with his vast, eclectic collection. From ancient artifacts to Renaissance pieces and global art objects, the sheer variety and richness of styles take your breath away. Set in his former home-studio, it’s an inspiring journey through a lifetime of creativity and passion for art from around the world.

Well is a special visit with an unique experience... This character is a peculiar person, that will impress you with all the famous and various works he did for most of the iconic place in Italy and abroad. The garden and the house are outdoor and indoor museum that the artist wanted to have for his pleasure and for enjoy all his and other artists work. As I said,you have to visit to understand what I am talking about.

Fascinating and quirky villa with a diverse collection of art, sculpture, architectural pieces, glassware, ceramics and more. Great views from the Red room. Pretty Italian garden is small, but it's worth a good 1_2hours and can be combined with a visit to the chapels at the Sacre Monte Di Varese as the Museo is on the same site, near the top. Parking and snack bars also available at the top if you don't want to walk up from the bottom of the elevation.

Last week we visited the villa of Pogliaghi. It is a house in which the eyes never tire of looking. Behind the eclectic collection are numerous stories that open up new horizons for every curious visitor. We all found the museum staff extremely friendly and helpful, and we would like to thank her for her very exciting additional information.

What a masterpiece this place is!! 🥰 My soul was flying of pleasure 🙏

We were so suprised by this house museum! I didn't expect this museum would be so rich in the collection and the architecture is so particular that I have never seen. I love so much the gate of Milan's Cathedral in the hall, the classic scene like pantheon, the building mixed with different languages but harmonious. Every detail tells his story, his passion and his unique personality. The staff were very friendly and were willing to tell us many things about the artist even if we arrived quite late.

This is an incredible place. Home, studio and personal museum of the artist Ludovico Pogliaghi, it is worth a trip. Inside you will find a lot of curiosities and the original plaster model for the main door of the Duomo. Make sure you take advantage of the guided tour, as there aren't tags or anything to describe the myriad of objects inside the house.

A nice medieval castle tucked away in Varese

Nice place and garden.

(Translated by Google) We return to our province...Varese. . . Today we visit Masnago Castle... to see the exhibition of the painter Renato Guttuso and the sculptor Vittorio Tavernari. . . .for those who appreciate this type of art. . . .I've seen better...but a quick glance if you're in the area doesn't hurt. . . (Original) Rientriamo nella nostra provincia...Varese. . . Oggi visita al castello di Masnago. . .per vedere l'esposizione mostra del pittore Renato Guttuso e lo scultore Vittorio Tavernari. . . .per chi apprezza questo tipo d'arte. . . . Ne ho viste di migliori . . . però un colpo d'occhio se si è nei paraggi non guasta. . .

(Translated by Google) Very nice! Re-evaluated in recent years, both the castle itself with its frescoed rooms that immediately make you feel catapulted into another era and the permanent exhibitions it hosts are worth a lot. Advised! (Original) Molto bello! Rivalutato negli ultimi anni, merita molto sia il castello in sé con le stanze affrescate che ti fanno subito sentire catapultato in un’altra epoca, sia le mostre permanenti che ospita. Consigliato!

(Translated by Google) One of the many excellences of the "Garden City", the Castle of Masnago, simple and fascinating, well looked after, the exhibitions inside are very interesting. The park allows for a pleasant walk, you can appreciate centuries-old plants and various works scattered among the greenery. Ideal for all ages, inside there is a play area for the little ones and a bar. Everything to see, partly for its historicity, partly to rediscover the pleasures of art and architecture. (Original) Una delle tante eccellenze della “ Città Giardino”, il Castello di Masnago, semplice e affascinante, curato bene, molto interessanti le mostre al suo interno. Il parco permette una piacevole passeggiata, si possono apprezzare piante secolari e diverse opere sparse in mezzo al verde. Ideale per tutte le età, al suo interno è presente l’area giochi per i più piccoli e un baretto. Tutto da vedere, un po' per la sua storicità, un po' per riscoprire i piaceri dell'arte e dell'architettura.

(Translated by Google) We thought it was a castle, but instead we found only a bastion. The building has been completely renovated in a modern style, with exhibition rooms hosting temporary and permanent exhibitions. The room with frescoes and works by Guttuso is interesting. A pleasant garden makes for a pleasant stroll. (Original) Pensavamo fosse un castello, invece, abbiamo trovato solo un bastione. L'edificio è stato completamente ristrutturato in chiave moderna con sale espositive in cui vengono ospitate mostre temporanee e permanenti. Interessante la sala con gli affreschi e le opere di Guttuso. Un piacevole giardino rende la passeggiata gradevole.

(Translated by Google) Very interesting from a cultural point of view. I particularly liked the "Hall of Leisure" on the ground floor and the "Hall of Vices and Virtues" on the upper floor (late-Gothic frescoes). The castle is surrounded by a beautiful park. (Original) Molto interessante sotto il profilo culturale. Mi sono piaciute in modo particolare la "Sala degli Svaghi" al piano terra e la "Sala dei Vizi e delle Virtù" al piano superiore (affreschi tardo-gotici). Il castello è circondato da un bellissimo parco.

A calm and nice park in the centre of Varese. It is very historic and was the gardens of the Palazzo Estense, home of the d’Este family. It is very idyllic and beautiful.

This garden took us by surprise with how beautiful and well maintained it is. We loved having our lunch here and enjoying the serenity. It’s a very peaceful place that isn’t overrun with people. ☺️

The palace gardens are a huge city park hidden behind the walled library. There's something for everyone- enjoy a sunny seat in front of the tiered formal garden, or a trip to the children's playground, a bar (with toilet access), fuelled mini cars (1.50 per ride) and even a mini railway. Worth spending an hour or two in Varese.

Our friends we were visiting took us to this beautiful park and we had coffee in the warm sun in early spring. Having left the cold in the UK. Had the best afternoon and really enjoyed this gorgeous park. Lots of people enjoying this peaceful park.

Wonderful park to walk around and quite unexpected for a small town like Varese. There is even a little go karting area for kids. The small playground is great for kids as well a lovely bar to have a sundowner.

Giardini e Palazzo Estensi is a beautiful park in Varese with elegant gardens and impressive architecture. The green areas are well-maintained, perfect for a peaceful walk or simply relaxing in nature. The palace adds a historic charm to the visit, making it an ideal place for families, couples, and anyone who loves history and nature.

Was good to roam around on a sunny day. Historical.

(Translated by Google) Absolutely worth visiting. If you are fit, you can make the journey and get there on foot. Alternatively, you can arrive by car/motorbike to the square, also served by a bus service. Suggestive place. (Original) Da visitare assolutamente. Se si è in forma si fa il cammino e si arriva a piedi. In alternativa si arriva in auto/moto sino al piazzale, servito anche da servizio bus. Posto suggestivo.

(Translated by Google) Beautiful walk in the greenery 2.5 km interspersed with 13 churches of the via crucis, at the top a really well-kept church and a beautiful view, worth a tour (Original) Bella passeggiata nel verde 2,5 km intervallati da 13 chiesette della via crucis, alla cima una chiesa veramente ben tenuta e una bella vista, vale un giro

(Translated by Google) Always a very spiritual place. Magical at Christmas. (Original) Luogo sempre molto spirituale. Magico A Natale.

Wonderful museum with amazing and attentive staff that explained thoroughly the history of the Castiglioni brothers and their expeditions in Africa and the rest of the world. The exposition on the "Graffiti del Bergiug" was outstanding ! There's also a very interesting section on the Tuareg that you can't miss. I can not stress it enough that you should take a look.

A great place to visit, a journey in the steps of the Castiglioni brothers, explorers, anthropologists, archaeologists.... An adventure you don't want to miss !

We appreciated the museum and its personnel. Vast collection & interactive materials. Will be coming back.

Very interesting exhibition and very kind staff.

Check always the site. Exhibition program change from time to time.

Make sure to park at the cemetery!

(Translated by Google) A magnificent discovery! Knowledgeable and engaging guides, very interesting! And the reconstruction of Nefertari's tomb is truly impressive. Ideal for adults and children alike. (Original) Una magnifica scoperta! Guide preparate e coinvolgenti, interessantissimo! E la ricostruzione della tomba di Nefertari è veramente suggestiva. Ideale per grandi e bambini.

(Translated by Google) Interesting baptistery in the city of Varese, if it were open more often it would be a good tourist point... In fact the opening hours to appreciate it are scarce. DESCRIPTION The building is from the 12th century. The facade is Romanesque. The interior is composed of two square plans: one where there is the baptismal font and the other is the presbytery. Inside there are interesting frescoes from the 14th century and the baptismal font carved with the Baptism of Christ and the Apostles from the 13th century. Free admission. (Original) Interessante battistero della città di Varese, se fosse aperto più spesso sarebbe un buon punto turistico... Infatti gli orari per apprezzarlo sono scarsi. DESCRIZIONE L'edificio è del XII secolo. La facciata è romanica. L'interno è composto da due piante quadrate: una dove c'e la fonte battesimale e l'altra è il presbiterio. All'interno si conservano interessanti affreschi del XIV secolo e il fonte battesimale scolpito con il Battesimo di Cristo e gli Apostoli del XIII secolo. INGRESSO: libero.

(Translated by Google) A very ancient baptistery, with splendid frescoes from various periods. The recent restoration has enhanced every detail of the monument. (Original) Un battistero molto antico, con splendidi affreschi di varie epoche. Il recente restauro ha valorizzato ogni dettaglio del monumento.

(Translated by Google) It would certainly be fascinating (the fresco on the facade already promises delights), if only it were open. However, there is no date for August and even those in June and July are entrusted to generous volunteers. Planning a more continuous opening would allow it to be appreciated as it deserves. (Original) Sarebbe senz'altro affascinante (l'affresco in facciata già promette delizie), se solo fosse aperto. Invece per agosto non c'è nessuna data e anche quelle a giugno e luglio sono affidate a generosi volontari. Pianificare un'apertura più continuativa permetterebbe di apprezzarlo come merita.

(Translated by Google) Beautiful baptistery definitely worth visiting (Original) Bellissimo battistero da visitare sicuramente

A quaint Park in Varese. More can be done to make the Park more engaging.

Wonderful but crowded place to visit. Enjoy soccer, tennis and fantastic garden. Everyone can find a corner in the garden to feel comfortable and to be inspired by beauty and romantic.

Loved the vibes here. Super green and full of nature.

Beautiful gardens but the museum was closed when i was there. Very clean park and quiet even though its in a busy town. You can practice sports like polo or tennis here. Very nice.

It is a very nice place, with green areas where you can stay with friends, playground for kids, enjoyable streets for walking or doing jogging.

Nice park, sadly no WC - thats the biggest minus! Otherwise nice and worth to see👍🏻

Yoga outdoor!..wonderful

Very interesting place to visit

Nice to visit. Pieces of art to enjoy

(Translated by Google) Located next to the Crypt with a single ticket for visiting both attractions; in front of the entrance there is a fountain or perhaps I should say a basin and you can stop (before or after the visit) to admire the beautiful panorama from above; inside it is quite small, there are some interesting works, in my opinion: a beautiful Choir (so it seemed to me) in decorated wood, a cabinet with writing desk (Cabinet), an oil painting from the 15th century, the Crucifixion by Giovanni Brancaccio and the Madonna with Child both from 1900, some small sculptures and some informative descriptions relating to the Museum; not a lot but welcome. (Original) Situato di fianco alla Cripta con ticket unico per la visita di entrambe le attrazioni; davanti all'ingresso si trova una Fontana o forse dovrei dire una Vasca e ci si può soffermare (prima o dopo la visita) ad ammirare il bel Panorama dall'alto; all'interno abbastanza piccolo, ci sono alcune Opere interessanti, a mio avviso: una bella Cantoria (così mi è sembrata) in legno decorato, un Mobiletto con scrittoio (Cabinet), un Dipinto ad olio del XV° secolo, la Crocifissione di Giovanni Brancaccio e la Madonna con Bambino entrambe del 1900, alcune piccole Sculture ed alcune descrizioni informative relative al Museo; non tantissimo ma gradito.

(Translated by Google) Small and cozy, located next to a magnificent terrace, in a panoramic position from which you can enjoy a breathtaking view. Pleasantly quiet, relaxing and full of works of art, it is the oldest museum in Varese that can still be visited. (Original) Piccolo e raccolto, posto al lato di una magnifica terrazza, in posizione panoramica da cui si gode una vista mozzafiato. Piacevolmente tranquillo, rilassante e ricco di opere d'arte, è il più antico museo di Varese tutt'ora visitabile.

(Translated by Google) Little-known jewel, in the village of Santa Maria del Monte, on a beautiful and evocative panoramic terrace. It was born from the donation of the noble Baroffio, from Brescia, a collection later enriched with other works. Let the guide, a very kind and passionate lady, explain the individual works and the story of the collection, it's worth it. (Original) Gioiello poco conosciuto, nel borgo di Santa Maria del Monte, su di una terrazza panoramica bella e suggestiva. Nasce dalla donazione del nobile Baroffio, bresciano, collezione poi arricchita di altre opere. Fatevi spiegare dalla guida, una signora molto gentile ed appassionata, le singole opere e il racconto della collezione, ne vale la pena.

(Translated by Google) The Baroffio Museum is one of the oldest museums in Lombardy, it was originally inaugurated in August 1900 in rooms annexed to the Sanctuary of the Sacro Monte of Varese, it is very small and welcoming, can be visited in at least half an hour, is totally new and is set up on 3 floors and presents all the collections that have been donated over the centuries and years by many donors and devotees to the sanctuary. (Original) Il Museo Baroffio è uno dei musei lombardi di più antica fondazione, venne, inaugurato originariamente nell'agosto del 1900 in locali annessi al Santuario del Sacro Monte di Varese, è molto piccolo e accogliente, visitabile in almeno mezz'ora, è totalmente nuovo ed è allestito su 3 piani e presenta tutte le collezioni che sono state donate nei secoli e negli anni da molti donatori e devoti al santuario.

(Translated by Google) Ancient Crypt which can be accessed directly from the Sanctuary (we were told) but we entered from the opposite side next to the Baroffio Museum; very small, with some Roman excavations (of not great interest) and with important and beautiful ancient frescoes that fully justify a visit and its ticket; The guided tour was much appreciated as it allowed us to better understand the history and works of the Crypt. (Original) Antica Cripta alla quale si può accedere direttamente dal Santuario (ci hanno detto) ma noi siamo entrati dalla parte opposta di fianco al Museo Baroffio; molto piccola, con alcuni scavi romani (di non grandissimo interesse) e con importanti e bellissimi antichi Affreschi che giustificano in pieno una visita ed il suo ticket; molto apprezzata la visita guidata che ha consentito di capire meglio la Storia e le Opere della Cripta.

(Translated by Google) the Sacred place that exudes Faith and history. for the believer it tells centuries of lived history, of love for the Madonna and the Saints. For the lover of artistic culture it is a small but important concentration of painting and sacred art (Original) il luogo Sacro che trasuda di Fede e storia. per il credente racconta secoli di storia vissuta, di amore per la Madonna e i Santi. Per l'amante della cultura artistica è un piccolo ma importante concentrato di pittura e arte sacra

(Translated by Google) A guided tour on All Saints' Day dedicated to "stories of saints".

Fantastico il sistema di sostegno della cripta con tanto di luci led che ne esaltano la visione.

(Translated by Google) Beautiful walk! I am not Catholic but I will say that it is worth climbing “the via crucis”. The views are incredible, you can see 7 lakes surrounded by hills. In 1 hour, calmly, the route is done. The climb is easy, everyone can do it. The chapels are closed but can still be seen. They are all different and very pretty. Some sculptures are a bit gloomy. Below the cathedral you can visit a museum, the crypt and tour the town. Everything is beautiful. In the villa you can have dinner and drinks. You can also arrive by car. Super recommended. (Original) Precioso paseo! No soy católica pero diré que vale la pena subir “el via crucis”. Las vistas son increíbles, se pueden ver 7 lagos rodeados de colinas. En 1h, con calma, se hace el recorrido. La subida es fácil, todas las personas pueden hacerla. Las capillas están cerradas pero se pueden apreciar igual. Son todas distintas y muy lindas. Algunas esculturas son un poco tétricas. Abajo de la catedral de puede visitar un museo, la cripta y recorrer el pueblito. Todo es hermoso. En la villa se puede cenar y tomar algo. También podes llegar en auto. Súper recomendable.

(Translated by Google) Unexpected: in excellent condition after recent restorations; interesting guided tour held by a good and knowledgeable guide; splendid lights well integrated with the structural support works.

Noteworthy are the bones visible in the tombs not yet excavated (but in the process of being excavated thanks to a new project that will be launched shortly. (Original) Inaspettato: in ottime condizioni dopo i recenti restauri; interessante visita guidata tenuta da guida brava e preparata; splendide luci ben integrate con i lavori di sostegno strutturale.

Notevoli le ossa visibili nelle tombe non ancora scavate (ma in procinto di essere scavate grazie a un nuovo progetto che sarà avviato a breve.

(Translated by Google) This small Romanesque crypt is truly interesting and mysterious, inside which you can see, in addition to beautiful devotional frescoes and medieval tombs, also evidence of the various cult buildings built over time, one on top of the other; the first probably dating back to the 5th-6th century. Archaeological studies will soon begin again which will hopefully bring new discoveries to light. (Original) Davvero interessante e misteriosa questa piccola cripta romanica al cui interno si possono vedere, oltre a dei bellissimi affreschi devozionali e delle tombe medioevali, anche le testimonianze dei vari edifici di culto costruiti nel tempo, uno sopra all'altro; il primo probabilmente risalente addirittura al V-VI secolo. Presto incominceranno di nuovo gli studi archeologici che si spera porteranno alla luce nuove scoperte.

A nice and simple arco in the city centre of Varese

(Translated by Google) Arco Mera, in the heart of the capital of the province of the city of Varese, connects Corso Matteotti with Piazza Podestà to Piazza San Vittore. The Arco Mera was built in 1850 at the expense of the canon Luigi Mera  to connect, in the heart of the city of Varese,  Piazza San Vittore  with Piazza Podestà and Corso Matteotti. (Original) Arco Mera, nel cuore del capoluogo di provincia della città di Varese, collega il corso Matteotti con la piazza Podestà alla Piazza San Vittore. L'Arco Mera fu costruito nel 1850 a spese del canonico Luigi Mera  per collegare, nel cuore della città di Varese, la piazza San Vittore  con piazza Podestà e corso Matteotti.

(Translated by Google) Very nice. (Original) Molto bello.

Went to see Escher, temporary exhibition closed months ago. Local artist exhibition was well worth it, I do not know how long it would last. The rest of the museum is pretty ordinary. However, €5 for entry makes it worth a visit.

Very beautiful exhibition at Palazzo Mazzetti, a beautiful arrangement for Escher works. In a very elegant and nice location.

The place could use an air condition system to make a visit more confortable.

The palace is well kept amd shows how was a rich living house of the time. The exhibitions are an amazing show of XIX century local artists, very interesting.

Needs to be seen.an all year abonnement for all Piemonte museum is available at tourism centre.

Nice exhibition "Monet and the impressionists in Normandy". But, in my opinion, the works are dimly lit and many shadows disturb the view.

I Went Today to visit the temporary show about Monet with my son . Until i had no babies i couldn't stand babies at shows, but i love sharing my passions with him and basically, have fun togheter, everywhere we are . Beautiful breathtaking paintings mostly about The sea reminded us about our Summer holiday ( a short time like the visit of The show for me after he started protesting and crying ) . So thanks for have created a play room in The middle of the show where we could paint a draw, read a book and built a tower . The only things i have to point out is the presence of stairs not accessible with a stroller and a closed bar . We couldn't see the hole building today but we will come back. Absolutely recomended for Lovers of "fast beautiful shows " and toddlers .

Not an easy place to get there but when you're there you've got a beautiful view over lake varesse and lake maggiore...

Amazing view ...you can see the whole region and lakes.

Second to non views. There is very interesting kit to see. The people who volunteer there do some fantastic work and it's really nice to learn about. Thank you to Dario for a personal tour in English for us silly tourists! :P

Highest point in Varese Italy, here you can see the city, and enjoy a great moment of quiet also you can visit the observatories.

Interesting place. Staff was nice.

I enjoyed the view. It is a gift for the Varese area.

Very interesting and stunning views and sun sets.

Very beautiful tower, but not much to be seen apart from seeing it... it is actually fenced around (but you can still see it) and you need to make an appointment for someone to come unlock the gate and tour you.

In process of restoration, not much to see now, but should be a great visit one day in the future.

Not a lot to see

(Translated by Google) Beautiful ruined tower. Easily accessible by car, if you park in the cemetery parking lot. Several benches are available for you to sit on. (Original) Belle tour en ruine. Facile accessible en voiture, si vous vous garez au parking du cimetière. Plusieurs bancs disponibles pour s’y installer.

(Translated by Google) Among the typical vegetation of the pre-Alpine area stands the ancient watchtower partly destroyed by the Milanese during the clashes against Barbarossa in the 13th century. Recovered by the FAI, it can be visited by appointment. If you want to admire history and nature I recommend going up the Nosedo path (2 km, 40*) passing in front of the small church of S.Cassiano. (the signs are in front of the Avigno tobacconist bar in the center area). (Original) Tra la tipica vegetazione della zona prealpina si erge l'antica torre di avvistamento in parte distrutta dai milanesi durante gli scontri contro Barbarossa nel XIII. Recuperata dal FAI è visitabile previo appuntamento. Se si vuole ammirare storia e natura consiglio la salita attraverso il sentiero Nosedo (2 km, 40*) passando di fronte la chiesetta di S.Cassiano.( le indicazioni sono davanti il bar tabacchi Avigno zona centro).

(Translated by Google) The Velate Tower is one of the most impressive medieval monuments near the city of Varese. Today, the tower remains a ruin, with considerable vertical extension. The FAI (Italian Environment Fund) is the current owner of the structure. The tower is located within a fence, which prevents a close-up view of its masonry. Access to the fence is by prior appointment (there is a sign with a mobile number). (Original) La torre di Velate rappresenta uno dei più imponenti monumenti di epoca medievale nei dintorni della città di Varese. Ad oggi la torre si presenta sotto forma di rudere, con notevole sviluppo verticale. Il FAI (Fondo Ambiente Italiano) è l'attuale proprietario della struttura. La torre si trova all'interno di una recinzione che impedisce di apprezzarne da vicino la tessitura muraria. L'accesso all'interno della recinzione può essere effettuato previo appuntamento telefonico (è presente un cartello con sopra riportato un numero di cellulare).

(Translated by Google) A Romanesque tower overlooking the western part of Varese. From this tower, you could see the other nearby observation towers, from the Sacro Monte to those of Masnago, to the Lissago tower and (I believe) the Cocquio tower. The renovation is beautiful, but it's a shame that the surrounding lawn is never accessible except during FAI (Italian National Trust) days (but what purpose do the benches serve, then?). As a youngster, I remember it being a family tradition to spend weekends on the tower's lawn, but now it's impossible (sic!). 3 stars for inaccessibility. (Original) Una torre romanica che domina la parte occidentale di Varese. Da questa torre si potevano vedere le altre torri di osservazione dei dintorni, da quella del Sacro Monte, a quelle di Masnago fino alla torre di Lissago e a (credo) quella di Cocquio. Bella la ristrutturazione, peccato non si possa mai accedere al prato circostante, se non durante i giorni dedicati del FAI (ma a che servono le panchine, allora?). Da giovane ricordo fosse una tradizione delle famiglie passare i we sul prato della torre, ora impossibile (sic!). 3 stelle x l'inaccessibilità.

The city hall is beautiful and the garden is gorgeous and it is massive as well. Most of the rooms are nice however the entrance is quite lack luster and dirty. Also there aren't many things to do. It is a nice place and it is very beautiful. However I had to stay there for more and 3 hours and I could only walk around, there was a choir but it was crowded as the room was quite small. Good experience and the scenery was amazing.

Beautiful place for the peace of mind

Nice

(Translated by Google) I left my city. And I'm not going back. I have good memories of childhood and adolescence, nothing else. Bigoted, hypocritical city and completely in disarray. Only the rule of appearance always applies and those who live in Varese KNOW it well this "face", not too dark, of reality... 5 stars ONLY for the territory (valued at the minimum wage) and 5 stars ONLY for the (few) true friends with whom I am still in contact. SEIZE THE MOMENT 🍃🍂🍃 (Original) Io dalla mia città me ne sono andato. E non ci torno. Conservo dei bei ricordi d’infanzia e adolescenza, nulla d’altro. Città bigotta, ipocrita e completamente allo sbando. Vale sempre e solo la regola dell’apparire e chi vive a Varese CONOSCE bene questa “faccia”, nemmeno troppo oscura, della realtà… 5 stelle SOLO per il territorio (valorizzato al minimo sindacale) e 5 stelle SOLO per i (pochi) veri amici con cui ancora sono in contatto. COGLI L’ATTIMO 🍃🍂🍃

(Translated by Google) I was with my family in Varese for a Sunday walk, it has a very characteristic historic center with many churches and the famous Basilica of San Vittore in the centre, but the city towards the outside is full of gardens and Villas in fact it is also called garden city, the most famous is certainly the Estensi Garden, adjacent to the town hall there is the Mirabello Park and the Mirabello villa at the top of the park, going out of the city there is the beautiful Lake Varese for those who want to walk and take a trip to the open area. I recommend everyone who is in the area to visit this city, you will be surprised by its beauty (Original) Sono stato con la mia famiglia a Varese per una passeggiata domenicale ,ha un centro storico molto caratteristico e con tantissime Chiese e la famosa Basilica di San Vittore al centro ,ma la città verso l' esterno è piena di giardini e Ville infatti è chiamata anche città giardino ,il più famoso è certamente il Giardino degli Estensi, adiacente al palazzo del comune c' è il Parco Mirabello e la villa Mirabello in cima al parco ,uscendo fuori dalla città c' è il bellissimo Lago di Varese per chi ha voglia di passeggiare e fare una gita all' area aperta .Consiglio a tutti coloro che si trovano in zona di visitare questa città ,rimarrete sorpresi per la sua bellezza

(Translated by Google) The Saturday opening is a great thing: the rooms are spacious and airy, the staff are friendly and helpful, and you can sit and wait your turn, using the sequential numbers you can get from the vending machine. Problem solved quickly. (Original) Ottima cosa l'apertura al sabato, locali ampi e freschi, personale gentile e disponibile, possibilità di sedersi e attendere il proprio turno regolato dai numeri progressivi che si possono prendere dall'apposito distributore. Problema risolto in modo veloce.

(Translated by Google) It is a very nice building, a little neglected, but its value cannot be denied...the gardens are a large open space, for a walk in the open air...I think they should improve the conditions of the parking lot, when it rains It is inevitable that you get out of the car and don't get your shoes halfway dirty..... (Original) Es un edificio muy bonito, un poco descuidado, pero no se puede negar su valor...los jardines sí son un espacio amplio abierto, para dar un paseo al aire libre...creo que debían mejorar las condiciones del parking, cuando llueve es inevitable que bajes del coche y no te ensucien los zapatos hasta la mitad.....

Amazing park love to be here in sunny days !

Nice Park w cafe and a nice playground for kids. Ciders and other beautiful trees and an old Villa inside the park. Recommended.

Children's play area is getting a bit worn, but it is a lovely park and the cafe service is both friendly and helpful.

Very noce and lot’s of playgrounds for kids

Highly recommend to visit the place especially if you have kids

Very nice and spacious for both adults and kida

Very nice park in Varese!

(Translated by Google) An interesting visit especially for children who are first guided with a blindfold to touch the models and then left free to play always and only with the sense of touch. 100% recommended (Original) Interessante visita soprattutto per i bambini che prima vengono guidati con una benda a toccare i modellini e poi lasciati liberi di giocare sempre e solo con il senso del tatto. Consigliato al 100%

(Translated by Google) I had the opportunity to visit the museum during an accessibility workshop, and I was fascinated. I recommend everyone—museum lovers and non-museum lovers alike—to visit, as it's an absolutely extraordinary immersive experience. Kudos to Livia and Dede, who passionately curate this unique space and carry out their mission of raising awareness about cultural inclusivity with admirable commitment. (Original) Ho avuto l'occasione di visitare il museo durante un workshop sull'accessibilità, e ne sono rimasta affascinata. Consiglio a tutt* - amanti di musei e non - di visitarlo, poiché si tratta di un'esperienza immersiva assolutamente fuori dall'ordinario. Complimenti a Livia e Dede che curano questo spazio unico con molta passione, portando avanti la loro missione di sensibilizzazione sul tema dell'inclusività culturale con ammirevole impegno.

(Translated by Google) A very well looked after place inside and out... the people who run it are competent and very professional. I recommend it to adults and children. And play the games... you'll have a lot of fun. (Original) Un luogo molto curato dentro e fuori .. le persone che lo dirigono sono competenti e molto professionali.lo consiglio a grandi e piccoli.

(Translated by Google) A place unlike any other. Using all the other senses and not sight to recognize objects is an experience that makes us discover a new way of perceiving the world around us. To better understand and understand how to live the experience you have to go in person. I recommend it to everyone. (Original) Luogo diverso da qualsiasi altro. Utilizzare tutti gli altri sensi e non la vista per riconoscere gli oggetti è un'esperienza che ci fa scoprire un nuovo modo di percepire il mondo che ci circonda. Per capire e comprendere al meglio come vivere l'esperienza si deve andare di persona. Lo raccomando a tutti.

(Translated by Google) Classes III and IV Armenian primary school (No) Finally we had a fantastic and different experience than usual, because it's not every day that you enter a museum and touch models of monuments and landscapes perfectly reproduced and reduced to scale. Not only did we touch them, but we were blindfolded and had to find out what models they were. So we experienced what it feels like when you can't use your sight! We also built our city with recycled objects and fantasized about our ideal city. The experts are welcoming, patient, friendly and very knowledgeable! We recommend everyone to organize a visit to this museum. (Original) Classi III e IV Scuola primaria Armeno (No) Finalmente abbiamo vissuto un' esperienza fantastica e diversa dal solito, perché non capita tutti i giorni di entrare in un museo e toccare dei modellini di monumenti e di paesaggi perfettamente riprodotti e ridotti in scala. Non solo li abbiamo toccati, ma eravamo bendati e dovevamo scoprire che modellini fossero. Così abbiamo sperimentato cosa si prova quando non si può usare la vista! Abbiamo anche costruito la nostra città con oggetti di riciclo ed abbiamo fantasticato sulla nostra città ideale. Le esperte sono accoglienti, pazienti, simpatiche e molto preparate! Consigliamo a tutti di organizzare una visita a questo museo.

(Translated by Google) Excellent museum, wonderful experience. I rate 3 stars because the duration of the blindfolded route was disappointing for my children, about 10/15 minutes, guided through two models, on the third we were left alone. The guide went to welcome another family and invited us to continue towards the games, where we were left alone for another 15 minutes. The museum is worth visiting, but asking for a little more attention wouldn't be bad, given that you have to book. (Original) Museo validissimo, esperienza meravigliosa. Valuto 3 stelle perché la durata del percorso bendato è stata deludente per i miei figli,circa 10/15 minuti, guidati per due modèllini, al terzo siamo stati lasciati soli. La guida si è recata ad accogliere un’ altra famiglia invitando noi a proseguire verso i giochi, dove per altri 15 minuti siamo rimasti soli. Vale la pena visitare il museo, ma chiedere un po’ di attenzione in più non sarebbe male, visto che bisogna prenotare.

(Translated by Google) Unfortunately, the experience at the InvadeVarese meetings was disappointing. The atmosphere was melancholy, compounded by the closure of many restaurants that could have offered a convivial moment for attendees. Ticket booths were also few and poorly signposted, creating avoidable inconveniences. The removal of the large screen on the track, which allowed viewers to follow the horses, took away one of the most engaging elements of the event. Without that visual reference point, the experience was fragmented and less immersive. The horses 🐴 are beautiful ❤️ I hope the organizers take these aspects into consideration for future editions, because the idea behind the event has potential, but it needs to be enhanced with greater attention to detail and the audience. (Original) Purtroppo, l’esperienza agli incontri InvadeVarese è stata deludente. L’atmosfera era malinconica, complice la chiusura di molti ristoranti che avrebbe potuto offrire un momento conviviale ai partecipanti. Anche le biglietterie erano poche e mal segnalate, creando disagi evitabili. La rimozione dello schermo grande sulla pista, che permetteva di seguire i cavalli, ha tolto uno degli elementi più coinvolgenti dell’evento. Senza quel punto di riferimento visivo, l’esperienza è risultata frammentata e meno immersiva. I cavalli 🐴 bellissimi ❤️ Spero che gli organizzatori prendano in considerazione questi aspetti per le prossime edizioni, perché l’idea alla base dell’evento ha potenziale, ma va valorizzata con più attenzione ai dettagli e al pubblico.

Nice garden to walk around, sit and have a rest, talk for a while under the trees. Many different trees. An open, sunny garden in front of the house.

(Translated by Google) A very beautiful location in the center of Varese. It houses the municipal offices and has a lovely park. It's within walking distance of the city center, and there are two paid parking lots next door, which in my opinion are a bit overpriced. Fairs and exhibitions of various kinds are often held there. The building is the main seat of the Municipality of Varese and also houses the mayor's office. On the ground floor, entering through the secondary entrance, you'll find the beautiful municipal library. (Original) Molto bello come posto in centro a Varese. È sede degli uffici comunali ed ha un parco molto carino. Si raggiunge a piedi dal centro ed affianco ci sono due parcheggi a pagamento, che secondo il mio parere sono un po troppo costosi. Spesso e volentieri si organizzano all interno fiere e mostre di vario genere. Il palazzo è la sede principale del Comune di Varese e dove si trova l'ufficio del sindaco. Al piano terra, entrando dall'entrata secondaria troverete la bellissima biblioteca comunale.

Gorgeous to see, though the inside doesn't appear to be accessible at the moment.

(Translated by Google) Next to the Basilica of San Vittore in Varese, the 84-meter-tall bell tower, designed by Bernascone, stands tall.

(Translated by Google) Nestled in the Pozzovaghetto district, the church and bell tower stand out among the buildings in the center. The building dates back to the 16th century and the facade was designed in 1725 by the Varese architect Giovanni Antonio Speroni. The plan of the building is simple with a single nave and inside you can admire valuable frescoes, in particular those relating to the vault of the presbytery (1653) by Melchiorre Gherardini, a pupil of Cerano. In the central part there is a canvas depicting the Immaculate Conception (circa 1619) attributed to Giulio Cesare Procaccini. (Original) Incastonata, in contrada Pozzovaghetto, tra gli edifici del centro spicca la chiesa e il campanile. L' edificio risale al secolo XVI e la facciata è stata progettata nel 1725 dall'architetto varesino Giovanni Antonio Speroni. La pianta dell'edificio è semplice ad unica navata e al suo interno si ammirano pregevoli affreschi in particolare quelli inerenti alla volta del presbiterio (1653) opera di Melchiorre Gherardini allievo del Cerano. Nella parte centrale una tela raffigurante l'Immacolata Concezione (1619 circa) attribuita a Giulio Cesare Procaccini.

We were just passing by, as the walking trail starts there. A local festival made the place very bustling and the atmosphere was filled with excitement which sufficiently masked the sense of melancholy this place would otherwise possess. We didn't go inside, as it's closed to visitors. But the back story is fascinating and giving space for imagining how time has evolved over a century. Some exterior design features have their own unique style. Loved the acoustic effect at the rear side of the building.

Must visit

(Translated by Google) Truly a beautiful place. Every now and then during the year they make visits with the FAI inside and I can't wait to do it next year. Recommend for a walk. It's always nice to see Art Nouveau architecture. In August they have the Alpine festival where I was and there is a lot of food and a beautiful atmosphere (Original) Veramente un posto bellissimo. Ogni tanto durante l’anno fanno delle visite col FAI all’interno e non vedo l’ora di farlo l’anno prossimo. Consiglio per una passeggiata. È sempre bello vedere l’architettura liberty. Nel mese di agosto fanno la festa degli alpini dove sono stata e c’è molto cibo e un’atmosfera bellissima

(Translated by Google) Art Nouveau style hotel built in 1912 based on a design by the architect Sommaruga. It could be reached via the funicular that left from the city of Varese. Today it is completely abandoned to itself. The funicular is unusable. Thanks to FAI it is possible to visit it for a few days a year. Some areas are not accessible, others have been removed from their original appearance due to material used for a film production which was never removed from it. I consider this shameful. It is a place to be preserved and recovered, testimony to an ancient way of holidaying, elegantly, in a pleasant place. Much has been destroyed (like the old elevator) but much can be recovered. The FAI does what it can, but huge investments would be necessary. Let's hope that this treasure is not lost completely. (Original) Hotel in stile liberty costruito nel 1912 su progetto dell'architetto Sommaruga. Lo si raggiungeva tramite la funicolare che partiva dalla città di Varese. Oggi è completamente abbandonato a se stesso. La funicolare è inservibile. Grazie al Fai è possibile visitarlo per alcuni giorni all'anno. Alcune zone non sono agibili,altre sono state sottratte al loro aspetto originario a causa di materiale servito per una produzione cinematografica che mai è stato rimosso dalla stessa. Reputo ciò vergognoso. È un luogo da preservare e recuperare, testimonianza di un antico modo di fare villeggiatura, elegantemente, in un luogo ameno. Tanto è andato distrutto ( come l'antico ascensore) ma tanto si può recuperare. Il Fai fa quello che può,ma sarebbero necessari ingenti investimenti. Speriamo che questo tesoro non vada perso del tutto.

(Translated by Google) Very interesting guided tour organized by the FAI, the very knowledgeable guides took us on a tour of the accessible areas of the Grand Hotel, telling us its history, from its construction to its golden age up to its unfortunately inevitable decline. There aren't many rooms that can be visited and the crew that filmed the remake of Suspiria left behind only grotesque damage and little respect for the story, which however fortunately can still be seen in the rest of the rooms, especially thanks to the stories of the FAI guides. A highly recommended tour (Original) Interessantissima visita guidata organizzata dal FAI, le guide molto preparate ci hanno portato a fare il giro delle aree agibili del Grand Hotel raccontandoci la sua storia, dalla costruzione all’età d’oro fino al suo purtroppo inevitabile declino. Le stanze visitabili non sono moltissime e la troupe che ha girato il remake di Suspiria ha lasciato dietro di sé solo danni grotteschi e poco rispetto per la storia, che però fortunatamente si riesce ancora a vedere nel resto delle sale, soprattutto grazie ai racconti delle guide FAI. Un giro consigliatissimo

(Translated by Google) I visited this beautiful hotel (but closed for many years) on a day open to the public through the FAI. The place is absolutely spectacular, both in terms of architecture and the place itself. From the main hall you have a beautiful view of Varese and you can admire 5 lakes on a day of good weather. If you happen to be able to take part in a tour, do it, you won't regret it! (Original) Ho visitato questo bellissimo hotel (chiuso però da tantissimi anni) in una giornata aperta al pubblico tramite il FAI. Il posto è assolutamente spettacolare, sia per quanto riguarda l'architettura che per il posto in se. Dal salone principale ha ha una visita bellissima su Varese e si possono ammirare 5 laghi in una giornata di bel tempo. Se vi capita di poter partecipare ad un tour fatelo, non c'è ne pentirete!

(Translated by Google) we went thanks to the varese alpine group. Here is a little history of the hotel. The construction site began in 1910 and ended in 1912, while the restaurant and the funicular (which was managed by the Varesina Electrical Companies Company) came into operation some time before. For the construction of the complex, ingenious construction and plant solutions were used, including mines and dynamite charges to excavate the rock, and the overall intervention profoundly modified the landscape of the area, since a vast garden was built around the buildings. After its opening, for about half a century the complex was the destination of a large flow of elite tourism, interrupted only by the two world wars. In 1944 it was used as a Military Hospital. In 1947 a fire devastated the top floor, which was hastily repaired with a prefabricated structure. In 1953, with the closure of the funicular, the decline of the tourist flow began and, around 1968, the hotel and restaurant closed their doors. In the following twenty years the hotel, thanks to the total disinterest of the owners and the negligence of the caretakers, was gradually stripped of many pieces of period furniture (some of enormous value), of which only a part was saved. Presumably around the 1980s (but there are no certain sources in this regard) the prefabricated attic installed in 1947 was replaced by a more robust masonry roof covered with bituminous sheaths and sheets of copper (or similar material), still present as of 2022. (Original) siamo andati grazie al gruppo alpino di varese. Ecco un po' di storia del hotel. Il cantiere ebbe inizio nel 1910 e terminò nel 1912, mentre il ristorante e la funicolare (che fu data in gestione alla Società Varesina per Imprese Elettriche) entrarono in funzione qualche tempo prima. Per la costruzione del complesso furono impiegate ingegnose soluzioni costruttive ed impiantistiche, comprese mine e cariche di dinamite per scavare la roccia, e l'intervento complessivo modificò profondamente il paesaggio della zona, giacché attorno agli edifici fu costruito un vasto giardino. Dopo la sua apertura, per circa mezzo secolo il complesso fu meta di un grande flusso di turismo d'élite, interrotto solo dalle due guerre mondiali. Nel 1944 fu utilizzato come Ospedale Militare. Nel 1947 un incendio devastò l'ultimo piano, che fu riparato frettolosamente con una struttura prefabbricata. Nel 1953, con la chiusura della funicolare, ebbe inizio il declino del flusso turistico e, verso il 1968, albergo e ristorante chiusero i battenti. Nei vent'anni successivi l'albergo, complice il totale disinteresse dei proprietari e la negligenza dei custodi, fu via via spogliato di molti pezzi d'arredo d'epoca (alcuni di enorme valore), di cui si salvò solo una parte. Presumibilmente attorno agli anni '80 (ma mancano fonti certe al riguardo) la mansarda prefabbricata impiantata nel 1947 fu sostituita da una più robusta copertura in muratura rivestita con guaine bituminose e fogli di rame (o materiale simile), al 2022 tuttora presente.

(Translated by Google) Probably the most beautiful church in Varese. Externally in Baroque style, richly embellished with statues and Telamons, while the eighteenth-century interior is completely frescoed. In the center of one of the side chapels is a late Gothic fresco of a Madonna, particularly venerated by the faithful. (Original) Probabilmente la chiesa più bella di Varese. Esternamente in stile barocco, riccamente abbellita da statue e telamoni, mentre l'interno settecentesco completamente affrescato. Al centro di una delle cappelle laterali un affresco tardogotico di una Madonna, particolarmente venerato dai fedeli.

(Translated by Google) The church is located 10 minutes walk from the Varese north railway station in the lower Biumo district. Church dedicated to the Nativity of Mary. Built in 1400. It has a longitudinal Latin cross layout. The name derives from the meadows that surrounded the church. There is a beautiful facade with an imposing balustrade with the statues of two Angels and the statue of the Virgin. (Original) La chiesa si trova a 10 min a piedi dalla stazione ferroviaria nord di Varese nel rione di Biumo inferiore. Chiesa dedicata alla Natività di Maria. Edificata nel 1400. Ha uno schema longitudinale a croce latina. Il nome deriva dai prati che circondavano la chiesetta. Vi una bellissima facciata con una imponente balaustra con le statue di due Angeli e la statua della Vergine.

(Translated by Google) A little gem in the center of Varese. It's worth a visit. Don't forget to observe the wrought iron angels that dominate its facade and the beautiful Madonna with child inside! (Original) Un gioellino al centro di Varese. Vale una visita. Non dimenticate di osservare gli angeli in ferro battuto che sovrastano la sua facciata e la stupenda Madonna con bambino al sui interno!

(Translated by Google) Visiting it with a guide was a wonderful experience. It's hard to find it open. Very beautiful and rich in history. (Original) Bellissima esperienza visitarla con la guida. Difficile trovarla aperta. Molto bella e ricca di storia.

(Translated by Google) Church of the Madonna in Prato, a small church of fifteenth-century origin. Not very large but still well preserved. (Original) Chiesa della Madonna in Prato piccola chiesa di origine quattrocentesca. Non molto grande ma ancora ben conservata.

(Translated by Google) Very small and very beautiful church, not always open but beautiful both outside and inside (Original) Chiesa molto piccola e molto bella non sempre aperta però bello sia all'esterno che all'interno

(Translated by Google) The church is open only in the morning and is a small frescoed jewel, dating back to 1400 or 1500, expanded over the centuries. The fresco of the Madonna in the left altar is beautiful, with frescoes on the right recalling the life and visit of San Carlo Borromeo in 1574 The facade, built between 1678 and 1686, is in Viggiu' sandstone, with a large pronaos, two Telamons supporting the central arch, statues of San Gioacchino and San Giuseppe and the Immaculate Madonna at the top of the facade, the bell tower, flanked by two musical Angels. Small monument built with the contribution of the faithful of Biumo, called Madonnina in Prado because it was originally located in the middle of the meadows and was visible to those coming from the city center. Worth a visit! (Original) La chiesa è aperta solo al mattino ed è un piccolo gioiello affrescato, risalente al 1400 o 1500, ampliato nei secoli. Bellissimo l'affresco della Madonna nell'altare di sinistra, a destra affreschi che ricordano la vita e la visita di San Carlo Borromeo nel 1574 La facciata, eseguita tra il 1678 e il 1686, è in pietra arenaria di Viggiu', con ampio pronao, due telamoni a sostegno dell'arco centrale, statue di San Gioacchino e San Giuseppe e la Madonna immacolata in cima alla facciata il campanile, affiancata da due Angeli musici. Piccolo monumento costruito con il contributo dei fedeli di Biumo, detto Madonnina in prato perché originariamente si trovava in mezzo ai prati ed era visibile a coloro che provenivano dal centro città. Merita una visita!

Nice little park and chill out area. Some wild life is also around 😉. Nice to cool down on a hot day. Alot of parking spaces available on the street.

Beautiful green park by the lake side with permanent Luna Park rides, many paths with trees, benches and facilities; swimming lido, bar and restaurants nearby. Dogs are allowed on leash, kids roaming free. Big car park. The venue hosted the event “#VareseA4Zampe”, in support of a dog rescue organisation. The lake view is absolutely stunning!

Very nice place to calm down after work day. You can just sit down on bench or grass and watch lake or many of swans staying there. I spend really nice time there.

Great place to relax, have picnic or walk your pet!

It's a shame dogs aren't allowed here, nor are there any benches for dog owners to sit on outside the park Aside from that it is very big and pretty and there is much to do

Very calm place, also good to the once who loves the nature.

Nice park on lake Varese. It hosts several simple yet nice children attractions. Ideal place for a picnic, or just a romantic walk. There is a nearby parking and choice of restaurants abounds in the whereabouts.

Nothing that Jesus would like there..

(Translated by Google) It's a beautiful church, I went in to see the very nice nativity scene. The organ above the entrance is very beautiful. (Original) È una bella chiesa, sono entrato a vedere il presepe molto carino. Molto bello l'organo sopra l'ingresso.

(Translated by Google) It is the church where I got married many years ago, it is my heartfelt place and I go there when I feel the need to say a prayer. There is a Madonna called the Madonna of the belt and it is very suggestive. (Original) È la chiesa dove mi sono sposata tanti anni fa, è il mio luogo del cuore e ci vado quando sento il bisogno di dire una preghiera. C'è una Madonna detta la Madonna della cintura ed è molto suggestiva.

(Translated by Google) The church is really beautiful but the priests cannot be seen. They manage to destroy everything. There was the oratory next door and no one can be seen inside anymore. Since last year there is no longer even the weekday oratory. A real scandal. There are fewer and fewer people at masses and those who remain are counting down to the change of priests. (Original) La chiesa è veramente bella ma i preti non si possono vedere. Riescono a distruggere tutto. C'era l'oratorio di fianco e nessuno più si vede dentro. Dall'anno scorso non c'è più nemmeno l'oratorio feriale. Un vero scandalo. Alle messe ci sono sempre meno persone e quelle che rimangono stanno facendo il conto alla rovescia per il cambio dei preti.

(Translated by Google) I may not be objective since it is the Church of my parish. However it is a beautiful church especially after the restoration. The stone remains of the first very ancient construction were found under the altar. It has always been a very popular church. (Original) Potrei non essere obiettivo essendo la Chiesa della mia parrocchia. Comunque è una bella chiesa soprattutto dopo il restauro. Sono stati ritrovati sotto l'altare i resti in pietra della prima costruzione molto antica. È sempre stata una chiesa molto frequentata.

(Translated by Google) This place is fantastic for me because I spent my life there as a boy. I was part of a Catholic community in lower Biumo. (District of Varese). There I was taught all the important values ​​of life thanks to a great priest and a great group of kids who shared and share Catholic life. The Church was and is the right end of all these teachings (Original) Questo posto è per me fantastico perché ci ho passato la vita da ragazzo. Facevo parte di una comunità cattolica a Biumo inf. (Quartiere di Varese). Li mi sono stati insegnati tutti i valori importanti della vita grazie a un grandissimo sacerdote e a un grandissimo gruppo di ragazzi che condivideva e condivide la vita cattolica. La Chiesa era ed è il giusto fine di tutti questi insegnamenti

(Translated by Google) In reality there are two churches, one more modern and the other ancient. Outside there is a nice playground suitable for little ones, the Perelli park. I suggest not parking in the churchyard of Piazza Ventisei Maggio, but turning towards the station on Viale dei Mille, where there is more space. (Original) In realtà sono due chiese, una più moderna e l'altra antica. All'esterno c'è un bel parco giochi adatto ai più piccoli, il parco Perelli. Suggerisco di non parcheggiare sul sagrato di piazza Ventisei Maggio, ma di girare verso la stazione su viale dei Mille , dove c'è più spazio

Very atmospheric

(Translated by Google) Marelli is one of the many caves found on the Campo dei Fiori massif. Its entrance is located in the garden of the Grand Hotel Campo dei Fiori and can be visited during the Mountain Festival held in August. At other times of the year it can only be visited by authorized professionals (speleologists). (Original) La Marelli è una delle tante grotte che si trovano sul massiccio del Campo dei Fiori. Il suo ingresso si trova nel giardino del Grand Hotel Campo dei Fiori ed è vistabile in occasione della Festa della Montagna che si tiene ad agosto. Negli altri periodi dell''anno è visitabile solo dagli addetti ai lavori (speleologi) autorizzati.

(Translated by Google) The Marelli cave is located in the garden of the old Grand Hotel of the Campo dei Fiori. We visited it on the occasion of the Alpine celebrations. The group was heterogeneous which made us think that it was a more "touristy" visit but inside we did, with great pleasure, seeing that the route was not very simple. The Marelli Cave is one of the many discoveries within the Campo dei Fiori Regional Park in Varese. The name was given in memory of the young Marelli (of the Milanese Magneti Marelli family) who lost his life here at a very young age at just 19 years old. It runs for over 5km and has a maximum depth of 500m. Only at the end of the 1970s was this incredible depth discovered, which was previously thought to only reach up to around 75 metres. The discovery was made by a group of speleologists from Varese (one was also present at our visit as a guide). Thanks to the other guide, a lady who if I'm not mistaken is called Donatella, we were able to reach the maximum point reachable for non-professional visitors, around 70m. Not the whole group went down because there were people who didn't feel like it and the last stretch was quite narrow. We stopped where we then need to start crawling. I must say that it was a wonderful experience which I however recommend to people who are a little physically prepared and who do not suffer from claustrophobia. The limestone formations that we were able to see were beautiful and are shown in the photos. (Original) La grotta Marelli si trova nel giardino del vecchio Grand hotel del campo dei fiori. Noi l'abbiamo visitata in occasione della festa degli alpini. Il gruppo era eterogeneo ciò ci ha fatto pensare che fosse una visita più "turistica" invece all'interno abbiamo, con molto piacere, visto che il percorso non era semplicissimo. La Grotta Marelli è una delle moltissime scoperte all’interno del Parco Regionale del Campo dei Fiori a Varese. Il nome è stato dato in memoria del giovane Marelli (della famiglia milanese magneti Marelli) che qui perse la vita giovanissimo a soli 19 anni. Si snoda per oltre 5km e con una profondità massima di 500m. Solo a fine anni 70 è stata scoperta questa incredibile profondità che prima si pensava arrivare solo fino a 75 metri circa. La scoperta è stata fatta da un gruppo di speleologhi varesini (uno era anche presente alla nostra visita in qualità di guida). Grazie all'altra guida, una signora che se non erro si chiama Donatella, abbiamo potuto arrivare fino al punto massimo raggiungibile per visitatori non professionisti, intorno appunto ai 70m. Non tutto il gruppo è sceso perché appunto c'era gente che non se la sentiva e l'ultimo tratto era abbastanza stretto. Ci siamo fermati dove poi bisogna a iniziare a strisciare. Devo dire che è stata una bellissima esperienza che però consiglio a gente fisicamente un po' preparata e che non soffra di claustrofobia. Bellissime le formazioni calcaree che abbiamo potuto vedere e ci propongo nelle foto.

(Translated by Google) Visited on the occasion of the Alpine festival at Campo dei Fiori. It is located in the garden of the Grand Hotel. I believe it is only open to the public during the festival. The visit is not a "walk" like the visits to the most famous caves (Frasassi, Castellana, Toirano etc), a minimum amount of physical preparation is necessary to access the cave and it is necessary not to suffer from claustrophobia and, for a very short stretch, not even dizzy. Donatella took us up to the maximum point reachable by those who are not speleologists, that is, as far as we can reach by walking. Donatella also showed us the history of the cave and told us about the other caves present within the Campo dei Fiori park and gave us a brief illustration of how these caves are formed: really very interesting! (Original) Visitata in occasione della festa degli alpini al Campo dei Fiori. Si trova nel giardino del Grand Hotel. Credo venga aperta al pubblico solo in occasione della festa. La visita non è una "passeggiata" tipo le visite alle grotte più famose (Frasassi, Castellana, Toirano etc), è necessario un minimo di preparazione fisica per poter accedere alla grotta ed è necessario non soffrire di claustrofobia e, per un brevissimo tratto, nemmeno di vertigini. Donatella ci ha portati fino al punto massimo raggiungibile da chi non è speleologo, ovvero fino dove si riesce ad arrivare camminando. Donatella ci ha anche illustrato la storia della grotta e ci ha parlato delle altre grotte presenti all'interno del parco del campo dei fiori e ci ha fatto una breve illustrazione di come si formano queste grotte: davvero molto interessante!

(Translated by Google) The Marelli Cave is one of the 150 karst caves found within the Campo dei Fiori Regional Park in Varese and is located within the garden of the old Grand Hotel Campo dei Fiori. It owes its name to Ferdinando Marelli, the young explorer who lost his life inside it in 1916. The cavity extends over a total of 5600 meters with a height difference of 508 metres. The upper branch which can be traversed without harnesses reaches a depth of around 60 metres. This was the first part discovered and until 1977 it was thought that the cave ended in that well, subsequently a group of speleologists from Varese discovered that the cavity extended for a further stretch. (Original) La Grotta Marelli è una delle 150 grotte carsiche rilevate all’interno del Parco Regionale del Campo dei Fiori a Varese e si trova all’interno del giardino del vecchio Grand Hotel Campo dei Fiori. Il suo nome lo deve a Ferdinando Marelli, il giovane esploratore che nel 1916 perse la vita al suo interno. La cavità si sviluppa complessivamente su 5600 metri con un dislivello di 508 metri. Il ramo superiore percorribile senza imbragature raggiunge una profondità di circa 60 metri. Questa è stata la prima parte scoperta e fino al 1977 si pensava che la grotta finisse in quel pozzo, successivamente un gruppo di speleologi varesini scoprì che la cavità si estendeva per un tratto ulteriore.

(Translated by Google) Grotta Marelli by its discoverer, used partly as a cellar by the hotel and partly open to speleological and tourist expeditions and speleotherapy interventions. It cannot currently be visited in a tourist sense, except on special occasions and with many restrictions. The entrance to the cave is at an altitude of 1027 m above sea level. and has, at present, a height difference of 508 metres. (Original) Grotta Marelli dal suo scopritore, usata in parte come cantina dall'albergo e in parte aperta a spedizioni speleologiche e turistiche e interventi di speleoterapia. Attualmente non è visitabile in senso turistico, se non in occasioni speciali e con molte restrizioni. L'ingresso della grotta è a quota 1027 m s.l.m. e ha, allo stato attuale, un dislivello di 508 metri.

Nice place

(Translated by Google) !!! POSSIBLE POISONED BAITS!!! JULY 30, 2025, suspected dog/cat meat found. Possible poisoned bait! Nice park, with plenty of shade and fairly well-maintained. Nice variety of flora. IT IS NOT a dog park. As in ALL PUBLIC PLACES, dogs MUST BE KEPT ON A LEASH (wild animals of varying sizes are present) and THEIR EXCRETMENT MUST BE PICKED UP, which is obviously quite difficult to understand, despite the mandatory signs. In fact, it has become a huge DUNGING PLACE. It is a fairly quiet park, although the number of visitors has increased significantly. There are NO play areas for children. Recent urban redevelopment work has brought, along with construction workers, a fair amount of ABANDONED GARBAGE. Piles of FOOD OF VARIOUS NATURE and DUBLINARY ORIGIN have been found on several occasions, so dog owners should be cautious. Until a few years ago, it was a pleasant oasis of tranquility, but thanks to a fair number of RUDE AND UNCIVILIZED FELLOW CITIZENS, the situation has changed dramatically. Needless to say, this has led to an increase in visits from environmental officers. P.S. As a dog owner, I recommend bringing pepper spray, as many freaks let their dogs loose without being properly trained when called, and checking your shoes, as there's a high risk of finding them covered in dirt. (Original) !!! POSSIBILI BOCCONI AVVELENATI !!! 30 LUGLIO 2025, trovata sospetta carne per cani/gatti. Possibile boccone avvelenato! Parco carino, con molta ombra e tenuto abbastanza bene. Bella varietà di flora. NON È un'area cani. Come in TUTTI I LUOGHI PUBBLICI i cani vanno TENUTI AL GUINZAGLIO (sono presenti, più o meno piccoli, animali selvatici) e vanno RACCOLTI GLI ESCREMENTI, cosa evidentemente alquanto difficile da comprendere, nonostante ci siano i cartelli con indicato l'obbligo. Infatti è diventato un gran CAGATOIO. È un parco abbastanza tranquillo, sebbene i frequentatori siano notevolmente aumentati. NON ci sono aree gioco attrezzate per bambini. I recenti lavori di riqualificazione urbanistica hanno portato, insieme al personale edile, anche un bel po' di IMMONDIZIA ABBANDONATA. Trovati, in diverse occasioni, mucchi di CIBO DI VARIA NATURA e di DUBBIA PROVENIENZA, pertanto i proprietari dei cani dovrebbero prestare attenzione. Fino a qualche anno fa, era una piacevole oasi di tranquillità, ma grazie ad un bel numero di CONCITTADINI BUZZURRI ED INCIVILI, la situazione è nettamente cambiata. Inutile dire che questa situazione ha portato ad un aumento delle visite delle guardie ecologiche. Ps. Da proprietaria di cani vi consiglio di portarvi lo spray al peperoncino, dato che molti fenomeni lasciano liberi i loro cani non educati a sufficienza al richiamo, e di controllarvi le scarpe, perché il rischio di trovarle smerdate è molto frequente.

(Translated by Google) Quiet place to walk and admire nature. If you want you can lie down and sunbathe. In the lower part of the villa there are some municipal offices (Original) Luogo tranquillo per passeggiare ed ammirare la natura. Volendo ci si può sdraiare e prendere il sole.

(Translated by Google) It is located in Masnago in the province of Varese. It is home to the now closed tactile museum. The park is to be kept in mind during this period. It is cozy, welcoming with benches and lawns. A cave with Madonnina, a fairy house, a dacha, a gazebo with roses and stone benches. I recommend visiting with children too. There are no games but magical corners. (Original) Si trova a Masnago in provincia di Varese. È sede del museo tattile ora chiuso. Il parco è da tenere presente in questo periodo.

Nonostante le salite, non ci sono pendii troppo ripidi e anche se al momento la dacia non è stata ancora Aperta al pubblico è sempre piacdvole da ammirare

Quaint city park with shady paths and an aging villa.

(Translated by Google) Spectacular panoramic view of the Sacro Monte di Varese - Historically this mountain was mentioned for the first time in a document dating back to 1922, but it is certainly of older foundation. According to tradition, it was St. Ambrose who brought devotion to the Virgin Mary to the mountain, which later became sacred, in the 4th century. (Original) Spettacolare vista panoramica quella del Sacro Monte di Varese - Per la storia questo monte fu citato la prima volta in un documento del lontano 1922, ma certamente è di più antica fondazione. Secondo la tradizione fu S. Ambrogio a portare nel IV secolo sul monte, che poi divenne sacro, la devozione alla Vergine Maria.

(Translated by Google) Incredible panorama. Mountains and Milan on the horizon in good weather. Terrace accessible by stairs or elevator. A must-see if you're passing through Varese. Accessible from Varese on foot (good hike and steep climb), by shuttle bus, or by car (paid parking is limited, especially in summer). (Original) Panorama incroyable. Montagnes et Milan à l'horizon par beau temps. Terrasse accessible par escaliers ou ascenseur. A découvrir si vous passez par Varèse. Accès depuis Varèse à pied ( bonne rando et ça grimpe) , en navette de bus ou voitures ( parking payant et restreint surtout l'été).

(Translated by Google) In the heart of Varese there is a place that knows how to preserve art with respect and power. Not a simple container, but a room that knows how to dialogue with the works, enhance them, amplify their voice. Sala Veratti is not just an exhibition space: it is an elegant scenography where art finds its deepest breath. The exhibitions it hosts are never banal. They are carefully selected, thought out, desired. Like those seen in these images: valuable exhibitions, full of meaning, that tell visions, sensibilities, paths. In this room, each painting finds its natural place, each installation becomes part of a larger story. There is something sacred in the light that enters from those ancient windows, something that caresses the works without stealing the scene. Those who exhibit here feel the privilege and responsibility of being part of an important story: the story of the city, of its living culture, of its artistic soul. Sala Veratti is one of those places that make art accessible but never predictable. A space that welcomes and enhances, that gives dignity to every sign, every color, every silence. A must-see for those who love art that leaves its mark. (Original) Nel cuore di Varese c’è un luogo che sa custodire l’arte con rispetto e potenza. Non un semplice contenitore, ma una sala che sa dialogare con le opere, valorizzarle, amplificarne la voce. Sala Veratti non è solo uno spazio espositivo: è una scenografia elegante dove l’arte trova il suo respiro più profondo. Le mostre che ospita non sono mai banali. Sono selezionate con cura, pensate, volute. Come quelle che si vedono in queste immagini: esposizioni di valore, dense di significato, che raccontano visioni, sensibilità, percorsi. In questa sala, ogni quadro trova il suo posto naturale, ogni installazione diventa parte di un racconto più grande. C’è qualcosa di sacro nella luce che entra da quelle finestre antiche, qualcosa che accarezza le opere senza rubare loro la scena. Chi espone qui sente il privilegio e la responsabilità di far parte di una storia importante: la storia della città, della sua cultura viva, della sua anima artistica. Sala Veratti è uno di quei luoghi che rendono l’arte accessibile ma mai scontata. Uno spazio che accoglie e valorizza, che dà dignità a ogni segno, a ogni colore, a ogni silenzio. Una tappa obbligata per chi ama l’arte che lascia il segno.

(Translated by Google) I had never entered this room before and was truly amazed!
