Major events in Piazza Castello and Parco del Valentino: a practical guide
Piazza Castello, Piazza Vittorio and Parco del Valentino often host major outdoor events: concerts, sports competitions and car exhibitions. All are within walking distance of the house.
01
Three key locations
Piazza Castello is the heart of the city, framed by Palazzo Reale and Palazzo Madama. Piazza Vittorio Veneto slopes down towards the River Po, just minutes from Via Montebello.
Parco del Valentino stretches along the riverbank, south of the centre. It has hosted motor shows and major public events on numerous occasions.
- Check the city's events calendar for your travel dates.
- On major event days, certain streets are closed to traffic.
- Getting around on foot is often faster than driving.
02
Cars in the city
Turin has a rich automotive history. Alongside events in the centre, MAUTO, the National Automobile Museum, is well worth a visit for motoring enthusiasts.
Guests arriving by car can ask Kamen for parking advice: on-street parking in the area uses the blue zone pay-and-display system.
03
Planning ahead
During major events, city centre accommodation fills up quickly. Get in touch early with your dates and group size.
Kamen replies via WhatsApp or phone.
