In Favria, in the province of Turin, there’s a floral park that has become a springtime tradition. The Favria Tulip Village is set to bloom again in 2026, from 28 March to 3 May. Visitors can stroll among over 250,000 tulips arranged in neat rows and even pick their own flowers. Here’s everything you need to know to plan your visit.

Where to see tulips in Piedmont in 2026
Favria Tulip Village will be one of Piedmont’s main floral events, but it’s not the only option for colourful fields. Favria, located in Canavese around 30 km from Turin, is easy to reach by car and well connected to nearby towns.
Unlike more structured botanical parks, Favria allows visitors to walk among the tulips, enjoy the scent, and pick flowers themselves.
Another “you-pick” tulip field is near Stupinigi, called Tulipani Italiani, located in Grugliasco (Strada del Portone 197). It’s a spacious garden where visitors can walk, take photos, and gather tulips during the spring.
