The city
Surrounded by the beautiful Alps, Turin impresses from afar with its picture-perfect skyline. Piedmont's capital is a city with a unique charm, an important history that has left its mark on this metropolis that speaks of the past, whilst constantly looking to the future: first a small foothill village, then the capital of a kingdom and a nation, ultimately becoming a privileged location for cinema and the automobile industry, as well as a hub of Italian innovation.
Understated yet showing signs of the typical luxury of the 19th-century city, Turin is young, attractive, dynamic and open to the world. The perfect fusion of architectural and monumental treasures, museums and art galleries, entertainment, good food and world-famous events, including the Salone del Libro, the Salone del Gusto and the Turin Film Festival.
