Things to do in Turin, Piedmont: The Best Nature & Parks

July 13, 2021 Oliva Fomby

In Turin, the capital of the Piedmont region of northwest Italy, sports cars and chocolate are a matter of pride. The city is also home to the Museo Egizio, one of the most impressive collections of Egyptian artifacts in the world. A stroll around Piazza Castello and along the Via Roma encompasses many of the must-see sights. Valentino Park houses an 18th-century castle, botanic garden and medieval village. When you've worked up an appetite, sample casual trattorias for pastas, regional wines and coffees.

Parco del Valentino

This vast and romantic park contains an impressive botanical garden, a castle and the Borgo Medievale, a medieval village built for the 1884 Turin International Exhibition.

Reviewed By B1714D - Belgrade, Serbia

This huge park apart from its nice setting by the river Po, offers three attractions inside it: - Castello Valentino, former palace in French style architecture, now faculty of architecture, - Borgo Medievale, real life size and very truthful replica of a medieval village, built for 1884 world expo. It's all in a theme park style and considered the predecessor of them, - 12 months fountain, extraordinary fountain with 12 figures (6 on every side) around it representing months. The park has also several eateries spread around by the river, so it's a good 3 hrs spent here.

The Po

Reviewed By paullegate - St Ives, United Kingdom

The Po is the longest river in Italy and flows eastward across northern Italy which starts the Alps. The Po runs through some important cities including Piacenza and Ferrara and Turin. The river is majestic and is especially photogenic as it flows past the elegant buildings along the river banks in Central Turin. The river was a sight to behold when I visited in July 2020.
