View of the City from Piazzale Belvedere and from Orino Fortress
Tourist attraction
👍👍 Gorgeous view on the Varese lake and the adjacent countryside. There are two small parking lots to leave your car, then a short hike helps reaching the panoramic platform. It's probably the best scenic point to appreciate the lake.

Forte di Orino
Historical landmark
👍👍 We hiked from Caldana up to Forte di Orino, which was a strenuous and steep hike, but nice. 360 views welcome you on the top. Even on a more cloudy day, it's still beautiful.

We got to the pizzeria's area via Google Maps and located this lovely place by the tempting scents of garlic and herbs in the air. A lovely crew greeted us and accomodated us.
