Langhe landscapes UNESCO

Reviewed By 840gabrielh - Bellaire, United States

Rolling hills, soft breezes, intense sun around harvest time, the entire Langhe is a treasure. Its curving roads deliver one scenery after another, with medieval castles, classic churches, cozy restaurants and lively wine bars. No wonder UNESCO listed the entire region as a patrimony of mankind. The region needs to be explored slowly: drive leisurely or ride a bike, or, if that is your style, hike. There are hundreds of hostels and B&Bs, hotels ranging from the inexpensive to the luxurious, and a similarly broad range of dining options. But you visit because of the wines. Arneis, Favorita, Cortese and the enormous flexibility of Nebbiolo, Barbera, Dolcetto and Moscato offer you an endless selection of wines for all tastes.

Reviewed By 327inezg - Fredericton, Canada

Iola Bella is the largest of the Islands in Lake Maggiore, privately owned by the Borromeo Family, on which they have a beautiful family home filled with many family treasures and equally beautiful gardens both of which were open and well worth a visit.

Museo Egizio

The Museo delle Antichità Egizie is the only museum other than the Cairo Museum that is dedicated solely to Egyptian art and culture. Many international scholars, since the decipherer of Egyptian hieroglyphs Jean-François Champollion, who came to Turin in 1824, spend much time pouring over the collections. It was Champollion who famously wrote, “The road to Memphis and Thebes passes through Turin”.The collections that make up today’s Museum, were enlarged by the excavations conducted in Egypt by the Museum’s archaeological mission between 1900 and 1935 (a period when finds were divided between the excavators and Egypt).The Egyptian Museum in Turin has begun 2009 an important project which wants to widen spaces in order to enhance the collections through modern museographical and museological criteria. The Museum will be open all over the period of restoration and the New Egyptian Museum inauguration is scheduled for the year 2015.

Renovated three or four years ago, contains an astonishing array of Egyptian artifacts of the highest quality, most of them "acquired" by at times dubious means, at the beginning of the 19th century and offering a fascinating vision of Ancient Egypt. A treasure house of precious objects and cultural treasures.

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.

Basilica di San Gaudenzio

Reviewed By paullegate - St Ives, United Kingdom

The Basilica of San Gaudenzio is a magnificent structure in the centre of Novara with an impressive cupola. The basilica was built between 1577 and 1690 by Pellegrino Tibaldi and is dedicated to Gaudentius of Novara who was the first Christian bishop of the city. The cupola was completed in 1887 and was designed by Alessandro Antonelli who designed the Mole Antonelliana in Turin. It was equally as impressive inside and I stayed for a while because it was so captivating. When I visited in August 2020 there were strict Covid-19 measures in place with the pews being totally sealed off.

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
