Once seen as little more than an industrial city, Turin is now undergoing extensive urban regeneration. Situated on the mighty River Po in the far northwest of Italy, and surrounded by stunning alpine scenery, Turin offers visitors a feast of baroque architecture, ornate Art Nouveau cafes, and museum collections covering everything from Egyptology to contemporary art. In 2006 it is expecting a surge in tourist numbers, as it is hosting the Winter Olympic Games.

For years Turin was synonymous with car giant FIAT, which was founded here in 1899 - however the citys origins go back much further. Julius Caesars Quadrilatero Romano (Roman Quarter) can still be seen and is now abuzz with trendy restaurants. By the early Middle Ages the powerful Savoy dynasty had taken control - leaving a legacy of lavish palaces. After unification, Turin was the first capital of Italy, an honour it held for just four years.

The symbol of the city is the Mole Antonelliana, an eye-catching dome, while its most famous relic is the Holy Shroud, thought by some to be the cloth that wrapped Christs body after the crucifixion. It still attracts thousands of pilgrims. Other visitors come to shop under the citys elegant porticoes, or try some of the local gastronomic specialities such as Lavazza coffee, Gianduja (hazelnut chocolate) and Vermouth.

  • National Museum of Cinema
    The 1941-founded National Museum of Cinema (Museo Nazionale del Cinema, MNC) was relocated in 2000 inside the 167-metre Mole Antonelliana, the bizarre skyscraper-like building representing the city of Turin. A must-see for any cinema-goer, it offers a thematic journey through the history of moving pictures.
  • The Castello and Borgo Medievale
    The Castello and Borgo Medievale, a mock medieval castle and village, were built in 1884 as part of the first Italian General Exhibition. They rest among the greenery of the famous Valentino Park, mirrored in the River Po.
  • Palazzo Reale
    Palazzo Reale is an impressive 17th-century building, home to some of the best architectural works in Turin, including a chapel by Guarino Guarini and the ceiling designed by Michelangelo Morello and carved by Bartolomeo and Giovan Battista Botto.
  • Porta Palazzo Market
    Porta Palazzo in Turin is Europe's biggest open-air market, taking place from Monday to Saturday in the Piazza della Repubblica.
  • Rivoli Castle
    Established as a gallery in 1984, the permanent collection on show at Rivoli castle (Castello di Rivoli) documents the development of contemporary art in Italy and abroad from the 1950s to the present day. The sharp contrast between the ancient features of the castle and contemporary artworks, together with a panoramic view of the whole city, make the atmosphere quite unique.
