Create an itinerary including Parco del Valentino

Take a relaxing walk through Parco del Valentino, officially opened in 1856 as the country’s first public garden. The vast park contains a botanical garden, a castle, and a medieval village built specifically for the 1884 World’s Fair. The park stretches along the Po River and covers an area of about 50 hectares (124 acres). For the first few decades of the 20th century, the park served as the site of popular car races, the most notable of which was the 1948 Italian Grand Prix. The days of cars speeding over the park’s paved circuit are long gone, but the site still contains a special bench built in honor of Enzo Ferrari, perhaps the country’s best known racecar driver and automotive entrepreneur. Put Parco del Valentino and other Turin attractions into our Turin online visit planner, and watch your holiday take shape.

This park was lovely. Even in cold, winter weather it was still a wonderful treat to walk through. There were quirky features here and there. And the most amazing scene was the pond with its ducks and Otters. I would definitely want to go back in the spring/summer.

Simply mesmerizing. The attention to details is impressive. Huge variety of plants and trees, a lot of shade where you could rest (i recommend by the various ponds or by the stream). Worth a visit is the medieval village, very peculiar.

Very large park situated along the Po River. Lots of walking/running paths, many kiosks for coffee/snacks, traffic free. Beautiful scenery. I see something new every time I visit. My only complaint is too many barking dogs.

Chill park to hang out, listen to music, ride a bike and hang out with friends. It gets busy in the evenings with more people hanging out but the vibes in the evening make it even better. Picnics are a great idea on Parco del Valentino. Castle is also a great place to take epic pictures

Easily one of the best parks in Italy! I enjoyed playing with the squirrels (make sure to bring your supply of nuts!) and also you won't get bored of the view that you will see in the several parts of Parco del Valentino. Make sure to allot at least half a day to enjoy and appreciate the beauty of nature and the view that this park will offer.
