Traditions and historical shops - HALF DAY

Half-day walking tour (morning or afternoon) discovering the artistic and historical beauties of the city, the wonderful gardens thanks to which Varese is known as the “Garden City”, the squares, the arcades, the palaces of various eras and styles .

Walking through the streets of the center, we will stop at the historic places that are true custodians of tradition and food and wine of the place.

You will taste the authentic Buosino (coffee and chocolate drink) and then eventually shop for typical products such as cheeses and cold cuts from the Valleys, Dolce Varese and Brutti e Buoni. Visit to an authentic grocery store that for over a hundred years has been selling handcrafted products with genuine high quality ingredients and to a historic herbalist's shop where you can appreciate the aroma of Elixir Florum Regio, a fine blend of herbs, roots, berries and flowers of the Campo dei Fiori Park.

Unmissable stop at the historic Caffè where the original Apollo-11 (a liqueur-aperitif) was born on 20th July 1969, that carries the positivity of man's landing on the moon, an event that has forever marked the history of humanity.
