Varazze is a commune in the province of Savona, Liguria region, located about 30 kilometers west of Genoa. Nearby in the Apennines of Liguria is Monte Beigua, with its natural regional park. The economy is predominantly based on shipyards, yachts and tourism.

The so-called Europ Walk ("Europa Stroll") is a naturalistic route that runs on the former Genoa-Ventimiglia railway (closed in 1970), which connects Varazze with Cogoleto. It passes through the rocky landscape of the Maquis shrub, including the Aleppo pine vegetation, and overlooks a number of small harbors that harbor wildlife.
We can also observe remnants of the medieval walls.
The beach "Bagni Pinuccia" is one of the oldest beaches in Liguria, founded in 1890 by Antonio Piazza. It is the first beach you meet along the coast, after the new "Marina di Varazze", being completely renovated in 2008, with a new and modern look, with a note of the past and the beautiful nature around it.
Other well-known beaches are: Bagni Jolanda, San Domenico Beach, Stella Stella, Baia del Corvo, Nautilus Beach, Torretti, Bagni alla Mola Varazze, Bagni Santa Caterina, Bagni Diana, Bagni Milano Lido Varazze, Bagni Rosso Peru, Bagni Delfino, Bagni Cavetto, Bagni Margherita Branch.
