Incantevole borgo medievale in provincia di Varese, Castiglione Olona è famosa per essere la 'Toscana in Lombardia' grazie alla singolare presenza di numerose opere d'arte rinascimentali di valore. Questo grazie al Cardinale Branda Castiglioni, che nel XV secolo volle trasformare la sua città natale in uno splendido centro rinascimentale, attirando artisti come Masolino da Panicale. Castiglione Olona è parte del movimento Città Slow per la sua dedizione alla tutela del proprio patrimonio storico e architettonico, al turismo sostenibile e alla valorizzazione delle eccellenze locali. Gli eventi promossi dalla città seguono tutti i principi di sostenibilità e inclusività: dal Mercatino dell'Antico, che si svolge il terzo fine settimana di ogni mese, alle Feste Medievali in estate. Il visitatore responsabile può immergersi nelle bellezze storiche del borgo e nei suoi scorci autentici, visitare i numerosi luoghi di interesse come il Collegio dei Nobili, la Villa Branda e la Chiesa di Villa Castiglione, oltre ad assaporare la cucina locale nei ristoranti del centro. La città offre anche percorsi di trekking e ciclabili per esplorare le bellezze naturali della zona, come il Parco Regionale del Campo dei Fiori.
