Turín, una joya escondida del Piamonte en el noroeste de Italia, tiene muchas identidades: la antigua capital del país y el hogar continuo de la familia real. La sofisticada atmósfera barroca de “The Little Paris“ tiene el encanto añadido de las vistas alpinas y el río Po. Las muchas atracciones de Turín incluyen la Sábana Santa (Cappella della Sacra Sindone) en la Catedral de Turín (Iglesia Catedral de San Giovanni Battista), donde generalmente se exhibe una réplica de una tela que se cree que se colocó sobre el cuerpo de Jesús. Para profundizar en otra era, el Museo Egipcio tiene una de las colecciones antiguas más preciosas del mundo, con 30.000 artefactos que cuentan la historia de la civilización a lo largo del tiempo; Los recorridos guiados o sin colas ofrecen una vista privilegiada. Para apreciar la arquitectura de Turín, diríjase a la sorprendente Mole Antonelliana y su imponente torre, una antigua sinagoga que ahora funciona como un museo de cine excepcional; Palazzo Madama, que alberga el Museo Cívico de Arte Antiguo; y el Palazzo Carignano, que alberga el Museo del Risorgimento; ambas son antiguas residencias de los Saboya llenas de opulentas habitaciones y arte digno de un palacio real. Los recorridos a pie, en bicicleta o en autobús turístico por Turín llevan a los visitantes por el epicentro de Piazza Castello hasta Piazza San Carlo y a lo largo del río, mientras admiran la grandeza de los amplios bulevares y mansiones regias. Un viaje de medio día o de un día completo a la región vinícola adyacente de Piamonte brinda a los viajeros la oportunidad de visitar bodegas y viñedos, y la oportunidad de degustar Barolo y otros vinos regionales.
