Turin

Turin is a graceful city with a rich and colourful history. It boasts a truly splendid Baroque centre whose grid-pattern streets, wide boulevards and elegant squares are lined with sumptuous mansions, public buildings and churches. There is no shortage of culture, either, with various wonderful art galleries and other excellent museums which are well worth spending your time visiting.

Turin has several world-renowned claims to fame, including Fiat and Ferrari cars; the Holy Shroud; delicious nocciola chocolate; and the Mole Antonelliana, a monumental landmark completed in 1889. Originally conceived as a synagogue, it now houses the National Museum of Cinema and is the tallest museum in the world, dominating the city skyline from every viewpoint.

The grand mountain backdrops, abundance of flowers, birdlife and sightings of marmots, chamois and stambeggi and challenging walks all made for a memorable and refreshing holiday. We rate the walk among our top 4 out of 13 so far! And Turin really exceeded our expectations, helped by the long porticoed streets in the centre which provided welcome shade.
