Product Info

Embark on a private tour from Milan to Varese, a city known as the "Garden City" for its stunning villas, historic sites, and lush landscapes. Explore the city's charming streets, visit the magnificent Palazzo Estense, and stroll through the exotic gardens of Villa Toeplitz.

Begin your adventure with a private pickup by an English-speaking driver/guide in a comfortable, air-conditioned vehicle. Discuss your itinerary and stops with your driver, and if time isn’t enough, you can ask them to extend the ride directly from their app.

Upon arrival in Varese, stroll through its charming streets, lined with elegant buildings, boutique shops, and quaint cafés. Your first stop is the magnificent Palazzo Estense, an 18th-century palace once home to the Dukes of Este. Surrounded by beautifully manicured gardens inspired by Versailles, this architectural masterpiece invites you to admire its grand halls and ornate details.

Next, visit Villa Toeplitz, a hidden gem nestled in the hills of Varese. This historic villa is renowned for its exotic gardens, fountains, and scenic walking paths, offering a tranquil escape with breathtaking views of the surrounding countryside.

From there, make your way to Sacro Monte di Varese, a UNESCO World Heritage Site and a place of deep spiritual significance. Walk along its picturesque pilgrimage path, lined with 14 chapels adorned with exquisite frescoes, leading to the sanctuary at the top, where panoramic views of the Lombardy region await.

Conclude your journey at the Angera Castle, a majestic medieval fortress perched on a hill overlooking Lake Maggiore. Step inside to explore its fascinating museum, which houses historic artifacts and stunning frescoes, before taking in the mesmerizing views of the lake and distant mountains.

As your half-day adventure comes to an end, sit back and relax as your driver/guide takes you back to Milan, leaving you with unforgettable memories of Varese’s rich history, scenic landscapes, and architectural wonders.
