Arrive at the Basilica of Superga before the sun clears the horizon. The hilltop location offers a quiet, expansive view as the city wakes below. Use the rack railway or car to get here early.
08:12
Head down to Parco Pietro Colletta for a post-sunrise treat. Saporito Pasticceria is a short walk from the park area and opens at 07:00, so it is ready for you with fresh pastries and coffee.
08:44
Enjoy your pastry and coffee at the patisserie. The morning light here is bright and cheerful, a perfect contrast to the earlier solemnity of the basilica.
