Easter, long weekends and sunny days: it's the perfect time to discover Torino and its province the way you like it.
Parks, events, extraordinary flowers and adventures in the green: here are some ideas for a trip in and around the town.
PARKS AND CASTLES
The unmissable blossoming of the tulips at the Castle and Park of Pralormo colours the spring in the province of Torino, as do the weekends in the shade of the cherry blossoms at the Reggia di Venaria and the walks in Parco La Mandria.
The gardens of the Royal Residences of Savoia are enriched with greenery, flower varieties and royal vegetable gardens.
Visit the Castello di Masino, taking part in one of the FAI events and guided tours, and the Castello di Miradolo to admire the ancient camellia grove, a collection of 160 specimens of camellias, among the rarest varieties in Italy.
THE HILL OF TORINO
To stay close to the city but still breathe in the blooming nature, choose the hills of Torino: the cherry trees in bloom at Pecetto, the lush hills with views of the surrounding Alps. In spring, the surrounding hills turn into a floral paradise with meadows dotted with daisies and poppies, dominated by the Basilica of Superga.
