Giardini

Giardini, one of Torino's carefully crafted public parks, illustrates the city's dedication to leisure and the outdoors. Located on the left bank of the Po River in the city's laid-back and peaceful Borgo Po district, Giardini provides an easy escape from the hustle and bustle of the city's center. The park, originally laid out in an English landscape style in 1888, features soaring trees, bright, open green spaces and a wide variety of local vegetation. Giardini is also home to large statues, fountains and ornamental flowers. Visitors will find a meandering footpath and small bridges throughout the park where they can go for leisurely strolls and quiet breaks. For those looking for a bit more activity, the park's large recreation area offers plenty of space for family picnics, relaxation or simply admiring the scenery. The view of the Po River is especially impressive at dusk, when the city's lights are slowly ignited.
