Things to do in Cuneo
A town of arcades and markets, with the Alps half an hour away in every direction and the Langhe just beyond.
Cuneo is a base, even before being a destination. In half a day you see the centre; then you discover that from here you quickly reach the slopes, the rivers, the valleys and the wine hills.
Here you will find what is around. How to plan your days, where to eat and where to stop for photos are in our free guides.
