Among Langhe hills and vineyards in southern Piedmont you’ll find Alba. Being part of the Langa area Alba is one of the Unesco World Heritage Sites.
It is a small town of remarkable beauty and a superb place to eat, being known as the gourmet capital of Piemonte (a white truffle based menu is not to be missed!)
It is called the city of a hundred medieval towers, many no longer exist but the old town centre is still well preserved, with a great atmosphere.
In addition Alba is a shopping destination: strolling by the pedestrian Via Maestra you will find the best of made in Italy in the little boutiques.
If food and shopping is not enough you could also enjoy a journey of the underground Alba to discover archaeological and monumental sites of this roman city. A jump into the history of this town masterfully told by a passionate archaeologist that will show 3 magical sites.
