Turin is a vibrant and dynamic city with plenty of
things to see and to do: it boasts over 40 museums
as well as the Savoy Royal Residences – a UNESCO
World Heritage Site – alongside the Egyptian
Museum, the most important museum in the world
after the one in Cairo.
Resting at the foot of the hills, embraced by
the course of the river Po, Turin is Italy’s regal
city par excellence. You will enjoy two thousand
years of architecture along with modern design,
contemporary art in its various forms, 18 km of
arcades for shopping in the city centre as well as
Europe’s largest open-air market.
Turin is famous for its restaurants and historical
TURINcafes, which serve typical food, wine and local
specialties, as well as homemade ice cream and
infinite varieties of chocolate and pastries.
More than 300 km of tree-lined avenues and
countless urban and suburban parks will give
you the opportunity to walk, run, cycle and rest.
Turin, which has invested in sports and well-being,
provides many opportunities to professionals and
sport amateurs. After hosting the 2006 Winter
Olympics, from 2021 to 2025 the city will host the
ATP Tennis Finals.
Outside the city, Turin is well located and connected
to easily reach lakes, mountains and seaside for a
day-trip, weekends or longer holidays.
