Why Turin

The first capital of unified Italy (1861) and the city of the House of Savoy, Turin is elegant and easy: a grid-plan centre, arcades, grand Baroque squares, historic cafés. It is explored on foot from the car park.

The essentials

  • Museo Egizio: the most important Egyptian collection outside Cairo. Online booking advised.
  • Mole Antonelliana and the National Cinema Museum: a panoramic lift through the centre of the dome.
  • Royal Palace, Palazzo Madama, cathedral (Chapel of the Holy Shroud): the Savoy quarter.
  • Piazza San Carlo, Via Roma, Piazza Castello for strolling under the arcades.
  • Chocolate (gianduiotti, bicerin at Caffè Al Bicerin) and aperitivo (vermouth, born in Turin) at the end of the day.
  • With children: Parco del Valentino on the banks of the Po, the Automobile Museum.

Practical information

  • By road: about 1 h 45 via the Fréjus tunnel and the A32 motorway (tolls). Underground car parks in the centre (Roma-San Carlo, Castello): around €20 a day, to be checked.
  • Car-free alternative: train from Modane (Modane – Turin line, about 1 h 10); timetables on Trenitalia.
