Basilica of Superga

Reviewed By kensA8864VK - Columbia, United States

A fun trip. Bus 61 or 68 or tram 15 (1.50 euro) to Saasi-Superga. Finucular (9 euro round trip) to the top, short walk to Basilica. Stunning views of Torino. From here there are walking paths that seem to go many km. The funicular returns once per hour on the half-hour. I did not go in the Basilica, but doing so might extend your stay at Basilica to 2 hours, which in my opinion is too long. Behind the Basilica is a small monument to the AC Torino soccer team that perished in a plane crash. There is a nice wooded path to walk to/from the funicular station to Basilica (15 minutes). The bar at the station has drinks, ice cream, and snacks. Altogether, a good 2-3 hour trip.

Sacro Monte

The Sacro Monte was built on the initiative of Blessed Bernardino Caimi, who, returning from the Holy Land (the late 1400s), wanted to recreate in small places of Palestine. At seventy years later the project was also interested S. Carlo Borromeo, which gave new impetus to the work and called it "New Jerusalem". The complex of buildings, some fifty was built over a few centuries. Each chapel is, with frescoes (4,000 figures) and groups of statues (400), scenes from the life of Jesus and Mary. Among the most important artists who worked in Varallo's Gaudenzio Ferrari, who worked with the founder to start the Monte S.: His is the great chapel of the Crucifixion. The Holy Mount of Varallo, the beauty of the place, for his testimony of faith and art, is a unique monument of its kind.

Mole Antonelliana

Reviewed By lfiebert - Lansdale, United States

The elevator ride and views at the top are spectacular - the building is really interesting architecturally and the Torino National Cinema Museum which is located in the Mole is a must see attraction in Torino. We spent three-hours and barely touched the surface. It is a great place for a film buff, movie historian, or for anyone that likes to walk around in a delightful engaging building with superb displays.

Rocca Borromea di Arona

Reviewed By paolovbossi - The Hague, The Netherlands

It is a unmissable spot when you visit Arona. It is one of my favourite place and the location is amazing. During the years the ruins of the castle have been restored and now they are the perfect background to this park. The view is simply amazing....no doubts that it is the best view of the Lake Maggiore

Centro Storico

Reviewed By AllanJGJ - Wellington, New Zealand

We were much taken by Alba's Centro Storico on a number of visits we made when staying near Asti. In fact we much preferred it to Asti! It is a joy to stroll around with many pedestrianised streets, an excellent central piazza, a superb Duomo, some very interesting smaller churches, and lots of cafes and restaurants. Lots of noisy locals and happy tourists made for great people watching. If you're staying anywhere near Alba you should most assuredly pay the old historical centre a visit.
