One of the most notable industrial centers in Piedmont region, Novara is also a crucial hub for commercial and private traffic between Turin and Milan, a departure point, destination and junction for many travelers every day. It is also close to lake Maggiore and the many picturesque hamlets that spring up on its banks, like Arona or Stresa, and those of Lake Orta, another famous holiday resort and sport destination.
Visiting Novara doesn’t require much time: one single day will be enough to see its main landmarks. Among them, the San Gaudenzio Basilica is one of the most distinguishing symbols of the town: with its Dome, a smaller sister of Turin’s Mole Antonelliana, it originates from a series of consecutive restorations that happed between the 16th and 19th century and encloses remarkable artworks such as Gaudenzio Ferrari’s Nativity. Another notable religious building is the Santa Maria Assunta Cathedral, an imposing edifice characterized by the presence of a long external colonnade and sumptuous naves inside. Also, you can’t miss the Visconti-Sforza Castle, where interesting art exhibitions are often going on.
Speaking of museums, the city’s offer is rich in them: one of the most charming is the Faraggiana Ferrandi Natural History Museum, which is completely free, together with the Giannoni Modern Art Gallery and the Museums of the Duomo's Canonica, the latter comprising two distinct visiting routes – one that gathers memorial stones, altars and epigraphs from the 1st-2nd century b.C, the other diverse artworks.
In the heart of the city center, in Piazza Delle Erbe square, you can join the locals for an aperitivo or to taste some of the typical dishes of Novara, where rice is one of the most important ingredients together with cheese, anchovies and mixed boiled meat cuts.

Apart from the city of Novara, the whole province has plenty of places you may want to visit for work of pleasure: for example, the aforementioned waterfront hamlets around lake Maggiore and lake Orta, but also many more between Milan and Turin and these two cities as well. Hiring a car in Novara can be just the right compromise to avoid using your private vehicle while also traveling with the flexibility and freedom that public transportation wouldn’t allow to you.
