Useful tips
- Indossa scarpe comode: i vialetti del cimitero sono lunghi e il percorso guidato dura circa un'ora e mezza, quindi il comfort ai piedi fa davvero la differenza.
- Il cimitero si trova in corso Novara, facilmente raggiungibile con i mezzi pubblici torinesi: il tram è l'opzione più comoda e caratteristica per arrivarci.
- Porta con te una giacca leggera anche in estate: le zone ombreggiate e i grandi alberi rendono l'atmosfera fresca e piacevole, ma le serate primaverili possono sorprendere.
