Varese Casbeno
Casbeno (Casben in local dialect) is a district of the city of Varese. It is located to the south of the city overlooking Lake Varese, and in the 1920s, before the establishment of the province of Varese, it marked the lower boundary of the municipality itself. It borders with Varese Centro to the north and east, with Bobbiate to the south, and with Masnago to the west. Originally a farming hamlet of the city, it underwent a period of growth during the 1960s which still continues today.

Villa Mirabello, park and municipal archaeological museum (1.2 km from the station): built in the 18th century on top of the hill of the same name, so called because of the wonderful view over the lake and the Alps. The Villa currently houses the Civic Museums, originating from the 19th-century Museo Patrio. The complex includes the prehistoric-archaeological museum, a section of the civic art gallery, a butterfly collection, and rooms dedicated to the Risorgimento, the Resistance and the contemporary history of Varese. Walking around the vast English-style park surrounding the villa (whose fir-tree forest joins onto the Giardini Estensi) offers an opportunity to admire rare and ancient trees and plants, including a majestic cedar of Lebanon.
