The city of Varese lies on the shores of the lake of the same name. It is called the Garden City thanks to the many beautiful private and public gardens found within the municipality. The city of Varese is in a distinctive position, at the foot of the Sacro Monte di Varese, which is part of the Campo dei Fiori Massif and is home to an astronomical observatory. Varese rests on seven hills: San Pedrino Hill (402 m), Giubiano Hill (407 m), Campigli Hill (453 m), Sant'Albino Hill (406 m), Biumo Superiore Hill (439 m), Montalbano Hill (411 m) and Miogni Hill (492 m). The municipality’s territory therefore ranges between 238 and 1,150 metres above sea level. Varese’s winter is only slightly affected by the moderating influence of Lake Maggiore and the other smaller lakes in the province. Late-autumn and winter minimum temperatures frequently fall, albeit by only a few degrees, below zero. It is precisely the low night-time temperatures that create a climate different from the areas south of this city. As in other Lombard Prealpine cities, fog is an infrequent phenomenon. Since 1960, it has hosted the only Italian campus of the European School created for the children of European officials of the Joint Research Centre. Milan Malpensa and Lugano-Agno airports are about 30 minutes away. The shores of Lake Maggiore can be reached in 20 minutes by car.
