Visit Cuneo
Cuneo is located in the southern part of the Piedmont region, and is often used as a base for exploring the surrounding countryside.
Tuesday is the day to visit Cuneo itself, when the large central square - Piazza Galimberti - springs into life for market day.
The town itself is not particularly exciting, although the wide tree-lined streets are pleasant to amble along and there is a small old-town section which is interesting to explore.
However it is mainly the attractive valleys that surround Cuneo that attract visitors.
Dotted with ancient villages, and ideal countryside for hikers especially, there are many highlights including the Valle Gesso and the Valle Stura (best known for the rare flowers that grow here); and Valle Maira.
