Hidden Gems of Northern Italy: a short trip to Susa & Ivrea

💞Reasons to Recommend:
Piedmont is famous for its breathtaking landscapes. During my week-long journey through this region, I discovered two tiny towns: Susa and Ivrea. Here, you won’t find crowds of tourists, allowing you to peacefully enjoy the stunning scenery.

Susa is located in northwestern Piedmont, about 40 minutes by train from Turin. Stroll through its medieval streets, visit the stunning Susa Cathedral, and soak in the mountain views.Here you will also find ancient Roman ruins! Exploring the entire town takes no more than two hours.

Ivrea, situated in the northeastern part of the region, is just a 30-minute ride from Turin. This town is famous for its festival, also known as “Battle of the oranges,” which takes place every year. Don’t miss the Olivetti legacy and a walk along the Dora Baltea River.

Ideal for a day trip, Susa and Ivrea promise an authentic Italian experience away from the crowds!
