Luino: an urban center in the northwestern part of the province of Varese and the main town on the Lombard shore of Lake Maggiore, appreciable for its historic center populated by Art Nouveau buildings and its delightful lakefront stretching for nearly 2 km that helps give it an almost Mediterranean feel.

Located inside the Palazzo Verbania, on the lakeshore, at the Infopoint you will find staff who will provide you with directions and materials for your stay and visits and Luino and its surroundings.

A strategic starting point for direct tourist excursions to the nearby mountains and picture-postcard villages, it is a place that owes its cultural vibrancy also to the literary climate that has always been breathed here: if Hemingway mentions Luino in his famous novel Farewell to Arms, the lakeside town was the birthplace of poet Vittorio Sereni and writer Piero Chiara, while Nobel laureate Dario Fo lived here and made his stage debut.
