Varese railway station (Italian: Stazione di Varese) serves the town and comune of Varese, in the region of Lombardy, northern Italy. Opened in 1865, it is located on the Porto Ceresio–Milan railway.
The station is currently managed by Rete Ferroviaria Italiana (RFI). However, the commercial area of the passenger building is managed by Centostazioni. Each of these companies is a subsidiary of Ferrovie dello Stato (FS), Italy's state-owned rail company.
Train services are operated by the lombard railway company Trenord.
Varese railway station is situated at Piazzale Trieste, on the eastern edge of the city centre. It should not be confused with the town's other railway stations, Varese Nord and Varese Casbeno.
The station was opened on 26 September 1865, as end station of the line from Gallarate. It remained a terminal station until 18 July 1894, when the section to Porto Ceresio was opened.
The station yard has five tracks equipped with platforms, two of which are reserved for terminating trains and Line S5 suburban services to and from Milan and Treviglio.
Until the early 1990s, there were active goods services along the lines to Varese, and the station had a goods yard. Since then, following the termination of goods services, that yard has been transformed, with the agreement of FS, into a car parking station.
