Una gemma nascosta del Piemonte nel nord-ovest dell'Italia, Torino ha molte identità: l'ex capitale del paese e la dimora della famiglia reale. La sofisticata atmosfera barocca di “The Little Paris“ ha il fascino aggiunto dei panorami alpini e del fiume Po. Le numerose attrazioni di Torino includono la Sacra Sindone (Cappella della Sacra Sindone) presso il Duomo di Torino (Chiesa Cattedrale di San Giovanni Battista), dove di solito è esposta una replica di un panno che si crede sia stato posto sul corpo di Gesù. Per scavare in un'altra epoca, il Museo Egizio custodisce una delle collezioni antiche più preziose al mondo, con 30.000 manufatti che raccontano la storia della civiltà nel tempo; tour guidati o salta fila offrono una visione privilegiata. Per apprezzare l'architettura di Torino, dirigiti verso la suggestiva Mole Antonelliana e la sua imponente torre, un'antica sinagoga che ora funge da eccezionale museo del cinema; Palazzo Madama, che ospita il Museo Civico d'Arte Antica; e Palazzo Carignano, che ospita il Museo del Risorgimento, sono entrambe antiche residenze sabaude ricche di stanze sfarzose e opere d'arte degne di un palazzo reale. I tour a piedi, in bicicletta o in autobus hop-on hop-off di Torino portano i visitatori dall'epicentro di Piazza Castello a Piazza San Carlo e lungo il fiume, ammirando nel contempo la grandiosità di ampi viali e palazzi regali. Una gita di mezza o intera giornata nell'adiacente regione vinicola del Piemonte offre ai viaggiatori la possibilità di visitare cantine e vigneti e l'opportunità di degustare il Barolo e altri vini regionali.
