Turin Travel Guide

Capital of Italy's Piedmont, former seat of the Savoys and Fiat, where Baroque palaces and the Egyptian Museum exude elegance.

📍 Destination Overview

Turin, on the Po plain in northwest Italy, was the capital of the Savoy kingdom and of unified Italy, famed for Baroque planning and grand boulevards. The 167-meter Mole Antonelliana, the city's emblem, looks out to the Alps. Its Egyptian Museum is second only to Cairo, and the converted Lingotto factory reflects its role as the Fiat motor city.
