Torino, an Amazing City!
As the first capital of Italy, Torino is a city with a thousand faces—regal yet dynamic, ancient yet contemporary. With more than 40 museums, a captivating UNESCO World Heritage circuit of Royal Residences, and a rich tradition of flavours from its excellent food and wine producers, Torino is sure to enchant you.
Elegant and lively, always in motion, Torino is a city surrounded by greenery, boasting over 300 kilometers of tree-lined avenues and numerous parks. Nestled against the hills and embraced by the winding Po River, the city is framed by the majestic Western Alps. With over 2,000 years of history, Torino can transport you from the ancient Egyptian artifacts of its renowned Egyptian Museum to the top of contemporary architectural wonders like the Mole Antonelliana, which houses the National Museum of Cinema. You’ll be welcomed into the historic lounges of its cafés, where you can savor a traditional *bicerin* or indulge in refined Piedmontese pastries. As evening falls, the city offers a blend of flavors, lights, and vitality in its vast squares—among the largest in Europe.
Torino invites you to discover the region’s artisanal excellence as you explore its picturesque neighborhoods, each with its own unique character and hidden gems. Or, you can wander along the city’s elegant arcades and galleries, spanning over 18 kilometers, where you’ll find the great brands of Made in Italy.
Art Nouveau and Baroque architecture blend seamlessly with revitalized spaces from the city’s industrial past, which have now been transformed into hubs of contemporary art and entertainment, such as the Officine Grandi Riparazioni and the Lingotto district. Torino is like an elegant lady reborn—dynamic, innovative, and modern—proud of her grand past but always looking forward to the future. Named a UNESCO Creative City of Design in 2014, Torino is an international beacon of modern and contemporary art, hosting major events such as “Artissima and Luci d’Artista”.
Music, cinema, and entertainment have always been at the heart of the city, culminating in 2022 with a spectacular Eurovision Song Contest that brought rhythm and energy to Turin, thanks to 40 international artists, their delegations, and the thousands of spectators who gathered here from all over the world.
Torino awaits you and is ready to surprise you.
