Torino grand tour
Handy tips for reaching Turin, getting around, and where to stay in the city, so you make the most out of your time there.
Walking is definitely the best way to feel the pulse of Turin: stroll around the city parks, drop into its historic cafés, take in the multiethnic quarters, enjoy fashion and shopping, but don’t forget that Turin is magical too. So put on your walking shoes and let your curiosity lead the way.
Torino’s central geographical position puts it in the vicinity of many attractive destinations. A one hour’s trip will take you to the mountains of the 2006 Winter Olympics and their 400 kilometers of ski runs; Genoa and the beaches of the Ligurian Riviera and, a bit further down the road, the Côte d’Azur; the lake district with the marvelous Lago Maggiore and Lago d'Orta, which are surrounded by the Monte Rosa massif; the rolling hillsides of the Langhe and Monferrato, the land of Piemonte’s savoir vivre; and the splendid Crown of Delights, the perimeter of Savoy residences that UNESCO has declared a Patrimony of Humanity. All within one hundred kilometers of the center of a city that is at the center of everything.
