Basilica itself it's nice, visible from many roads around Turin so it's simply calling you to visit it. Wake up call for curiosity! The first thing you will hear form locals it's tragedy from 1949. about football players of "Turin" team. On the way you can enjoy nice landscapes from the car or for those who are sportive through hiking... More

Lovely breathtaking view of Torino and the Alps in the background. Worse visiting on a sunny day. Visit the area of Sassi

Up there it is so peaceful and the view of Turin is great. The ride up is one of the highlights also, the old 'train' is an experience in itself. The only problem is that it stops quite early. There is a bus, which I understand is on every hour, from further down from the Basilica. We took a tour... More

Have a trip to Sassi by bus or tram and catch the mountain railway to the basilica at the top of the mountain.Brilliant views of the Po valley and the Alps in the distance which flank Turin around the north. Sad to be reminded of the disaster which struck Torino football club when their plane hit the bank behind the... More

The building itself is amazing. The view of Turin and The Alps is beautiful. There is a train you can take o the top, however we did not take it. The inside is also amazing. The drive is not far at all from downtown Turin.

There, I said it in the title. There's no way you can get a better view of Turin. If it's a clear day, it's totally worth a visit. A must-do in Turin.

Paying a visit to Basilica di Superga is nice getaway on a clear, preferably sunny day. Going uphill with the vintage funicolare is a cool experience with some great views, but nothing more than that. That's why 6 euros (on weekdays) or 9 euros (on saturday's/holidays) for a return ticket is rather expensive in my opinion. An additional 2 euros... More

The trip up via a rack railway provides superb view over the city and the mountains fringing it!Sadly the Savoy Toms are only open at week-ends in winter and the Basilica is very drab
