As with any large city, there is a huge variety of fine restaurants and bars, as well as many shopping boutiques.

Stupinigi, a suburb of Nicheloni, is just a short drive from Ovest. It is home to the Palazzini di caccia of Stupinigi, the Royal House of Savoy’s hunting lodge. Built in the 18th century, the site has also played host to royal wedding parties. UNESCO World Heritage Status was awarded in 1997.
