Turin Eye, Hot air balloon attraction in Borgo Dora, Turin, Italy
The Turin Eye carries visitors in a secured balloon basket to an altitude of 150 meters, offering views across the entire metropolitan area and beyond.
Established in 2009, this observation platform introduced a new way to experience the city landscape from an elevated perspective above the historic Borgo Dora district.
The balloon's position provides an understanding of Turin's urban layout, revealing the Roman grid pattern and the relationship between the city and surrounding mountains.
The balloon operates throughout the year with scheduled flights during daylight hours, though service depends on current weather and wind conditions for safety.
From the maximum height, observers can spot the Monviso peak and the Cottian Alps while identifying major architectural landmarks across the urban panorama.
