Together with our Travel Specialist, a true connoisseur of local places and experiences, you will enjoy and discover the city of Varese, living like a local.

Walk in the late afternoon through the streets of the historic center, discovering its artistic and historical beauties, the wonderful gardens thanks to which Varese is known as the “Garden City”. You will be fascinated by its prestigious buildings of various eras and styles, by the alleys entirely with arcades, by the historic shops and by the magnificence of its squares, the civic tower, the bell tower and the Baptistery.

You could not to leave Varese without first taking a photo at Palazzo Estense erected between 1766 and 1771 at the behest of the Duke of Modena Francesco III d'Este who, having obtained the lordship of Varese from Maria Theresa of Austria, was eager to build his own summer-autumn residence. Thanks to its majesty and the fantastic Italian gardens that surround it, Palazzo Estense earned Varese the nickname of "Versailles of Milan", given to it by Stendhal.

At the end of the walk we will join the people of Varese for the special moment of the “Aperitivo ROSA” at the historic Caffè where the original aperitif Apollo-11 was born on 20th July 1969. Apollo-11 carries the positivity of man's landing on the moon, an event that has forever marked the history of humanity.
