Car Hire Torino Nichelino - Mini guide to Torino Nichelino

Italy is steeped in history, beauty and romance, particularly within the northwestern Piedmonte region. For visitors hoping to tour this area’s lakes, cities, mountains and culture, Nichelino, near Torino, makes an ideal base.

Situated just ten kilometres outside of the bustling large city of Torino (Turin), Nichelino offers visitors reasonably priced accommodation as well as the car hire essential to freely explore Italy.

It is little wonder that Torino is so popular. Its rich history dates back to the Romans. Sites in Torino include: the Shroud of Turin which is housed at the Cathedral of St John the Baptist, the well-preserved remains of the Palatine Towers, as well as shopping at markets such as Porta Palazzo. The city is home to a range of restaurants and shopping.

Just a short drive from Nichelino leads the visitor to Stupinigi, home to the Palazzini di caccia of Stupinigi. This royal hunting lodge was built in the 18th century and played host to guests and members of the Royal House of Savoy, including Marie Therese. In 1997, UNESCO awarded this site, as part of the Royal House of Savoy buildings, World Heritage Status.

Larger cities and towns may also be reached within by car from Nichelino. Milan, known for its fashion boutiques and La Scala Opera House is a few hours drive. Genova is closer and features the house believed to have been the birthplace of Christopher Columbus.

For visitors looking for breathtaking scenery, look no further than the lakes of northwest Italy such as Lake Orta, Lake Maggiore and Lake Como. The lakes are best known for their sumptuous villas which have played host to Pliny the Younger, George Liszt and, in more recent years, George Clooney.
