The first capital of Italy,
Turin is blessed with numerous interesting museums, which are housed in splendid palaces and civic buildings. The centre itself is relatively small, with broad, straight streets, often bordered with historic cafès and shops, which are pleasant places to stroll along for guests staying at an
hotel in Turin.
Turin boasts both comfortable
3-star guesthouses and elegant
4-star hotels. Not to be missed are the numerous cheap hotels the city offers to allow tourists to visit it at reasonable prices.
There are
about
40 museums that offer insight into different ages and inestimable evidences, a unique opportunity for guests staying at an hotel
in Turin. The
Mole Antonelliana, an unmissably tall landmark that serves no clear purpose except perhaps as a signature for the city, now houses the
National Cinema Museum. Guests staying at an hotel in Turin can visit
the museum or enjoy the impressive view offered by the central spire.
Piazza
Castello, another symbol of the city, shields the main monuments and
has recently become a pedestrian precinct, the ideal place to go for long
walks and admire the enchanting
Palazzo Madama,
Palazzo Reale and Royal Theatre.
On a hill to the east of Turin stands the superb Baroque
Basilica of Superga. To spend a holiday in Turin allows visitors to
admire these attractions through various itineraries designed to
discover an inestimable heritage rich in wine and food traditions.
