Discover Varese: a hidden gem of Northern Italy

May 21 @ 8:30 - 17:00

Join us for a beautiful trip to the city
of Varese, a hidden gem nestled in the
foothills of the Alps, just an hour away
by train from Milan.
This enchanting tour is organized
by our sister club, Benvenuto Club
of Varese. We extend our sincere
appreciation to Angela Calo’, part
of the Special Activities team, for
organizing this delightful excursion
for their newcomers and graciously
extending the invitation to us.
During this walking tour, you’ll
immerse yourself in the splendor of
Varese, a city surrounded by tranquil
lakes, scenic valleys, and verdant
parks. Known as the “Garden City,”
Varese boasts a storied past dating
back to the mid-1800s, when its
breathtaking landscape sparked the
rise of the local tourism industry.
Wealthy Milanese elites were
captivated by Varese’s allure, adorning
its terrain with grand mansions
and sprawling parks, solidifying its
reputation as their preferred holiday
retreat.
