MAP

There are many manufacturing companies located in Turin, including Kappa, Ferrero, Martini & Rossi and Lavazza, but with organisations such as Open Innovation Centre Turin championing start up, research and data-led businesses, the city is becoming an innovation hub.

History, architecture and the Arts are woven throughout the city. With less fanfare than the better-known Italian cities, Turin has a huge number of impressive palazzos, piazzas, museums and galleries. Here you can sample great Italian style and Arts, without the crowds!

As the capital of the Piedmont region, Turin has a legacy of slow food, of world class produce (including the Nutella hazelnuts), and of dishes inspired by the traditions of the Alps. All washed down with superior coffee, excellent wines such as Barolo and Barbaresco, and the trendy local soft drink Mole Cola. Buon appetito!

Landmarks

Mole Antonelliana. This is Torino’s landmark building. It was a synagogue but now contains one of the best museums of cinema in Europe, the National Cinema Museum. You can take the lift to the top for approx €7, which is worth doing on a clear day.

Cathedral of Superga. On the top of the hill on the edge of Turin, the building is interesting to visit but also to see the view over the whole of the city of Torino with the magnificent Alps in the background. To make the trip even more interesting you can take the funicular up the hill to the cathedral, take a look this Wiki page with information about the funicular and links to the timetable etc.

Palazzo Madama, Piazza Castello. The palace was recently refurbished, it is a large and very beautiful building with an excellent art collection and interesting exhibitions that change frequently. Palazzo website.

Museums

The National Cinema Museum is an excellent collection immersing you in the world of cinema with charm and style. There are lots of original costumes and outfits, posters, and the brilliant Great Temple where you can recline in soft red chairs and watch classic Italian films. What’s not to love? Cinema Museum website.

Torino’s Car Musuem (Museo dell’Automobile) houses over 170 vehicles, from 18th-century carriages to Formula 1 racers. The quality of the cars that you see is incredible. Located on the edge of Parco Valentino you can also have a nice walk along the river before/ after your visit. Car Museum website.

Outside of Egypt, Torino’s Egyptian Museum has the largest collection of Egyptian artifacts. Which is quite impressive. The actual building is worth a visit alone. The collection walks you through the history and civilisation of Egypt with lots of different objets d’art. Egyptian Museum website.
