Taking Day trips to Piedmont

Our suggestions for organizing day trips to Piedmont is to begin with a visit to the city of Turin. It is the first capital of the Kingdom of Italy and one of the country's major artistic, tourist and cultural centers. Definitely mst-sees if you stay only one day: the Antonelliana Mole, the Cinema Museum, the Museums of the Royal Polo and the Egyptian Museum.

Just outside the capital, our short tour of Piedmont continues on to explore the UNESCO Savoy Residences which hosted the Savoys and their court.

Exploring this region means savoring the wines and enjoying the hills covered with vines in the Langhe, Roero and Monferrato areas, where the vineards are combined with the ancient Piedmont Castles.

Here you will find its  renowned White Truffle which is the absolute protagonist of the food and wine tours in Piedmont, as well as an Autumn Festival among the most important events of this region.
