Rent a Novara
One of the most important industrial centers in Piedmont, Novara is also a crucial junction of commercial and private traffic between Turin and Milan, a daily arrival, passage or departure point for many travelers. It is also very close to Lake Maggiore and the many quaint resorts on its shores, such as Arona or Stresa, and to Lake Orta, a destination for holidays and sports. In itself, a visit to the city of Novara does not require much time: even one day is enough to see its main attractions. Among these we can mention the Basilica of San Gaudenzio, which, with its dome, younger sister of Turin’s Mole Antonelliana, is one of the city’s best-known symbols: its current appearance is the result of numerous reconstructions that took place between the 16th and 19th centuries, and it houses valuable artistic works such as Gaudenzio Ferrari’s Nativity. Another interesting religious building is the Cathedral of Santa Maria Assunta, a mighty edifice characterized by the presence of a long external portico and sumptuous naves inside. Also not to be missed is the Castello Sforzesco Visconteo, which often hosts interesting art exhibitions. And speaking of museums, the city’s offerings are rich in this regard as well: one of the most fascinating is the Faraggiana Ferrandi Museum of Natural History, which is completely free, along with the Giannoni Gallery of Modern Art and the Novara Cathedral Rectory Museums, the latter comprising two separate museum itineraries dedicated one to cippus, are and epigraphs from the 2nd-3rd centuries B.C. and the other to works of art of various kinds. In the heart of the historic center in Piazza delle Erbe, on the other hand, you can join the locals for an aperitif or dinner of typical Novara dishes, where rice takes center stage along with cheeses, anchovies and mixed boiled meat. There’s no shortage of sweets either: first and foremost the Biscotti di Novara, made with flour, eggs and honey; then San Gaudenzio bread, a shortbread with a soft filling garnished with pine nuts and hazelnuts; the Dolce della Cattedrale, which contains raisins, honey, saffron and grappa; and many more.
Beyond the city of Novara, the province is full of places that you might want to visit for pleasure or business: for example, the villages, already mentioned, on the shores of Lakes Maggiore and Orta in addition to those distributed over the territory separating Milan from Turin and the two regional capitals themselves. A rental car in Novara can be the right compromise to avoid using your private vehicle, but still have the flexibility and freedom of movement that the use of public transportation would not grant you.
