Visiting Torino/Turin

The simple and practical guide for visiting Turin

One word can identify Torino: elegant.
Torino is an amazing city, full of wonderful historic palaces and wide places, fine streets and gardens.
Torino is often excluded from the tourists tours, and it's a pity, because this city, which has been capital of Italy until 1864, offers a striking atmosphere, with baroque, neo classical and art nouveau imprint.

Views of Turin

Tourists can easily visit Torino on foot. Walking is the best way to visit the city: there are more than 18 km of porches and you can comfortably walk around, admiring the palaces and the shop windows.
