Turin, tourist destinations

Turin is the capital of Piedmont and is known for the refinement of its architecture and cuisine. To the north-west of the city the Alps soar. Sumptuous baroque buildings and ancient cafés line the avenues and grandiose Turin squares, such as Piazza Castello and Piazza San Carlo. Nearby stands the tall spire of the 19th-century Mole Antonelliana, which houses the interactive exhibitions of the National Cinema Museum.

The Egyptian Museum of Turin is the oldest museum in the world entirely dedicated to the Nilotic civilization and is considered, due to the value and quantity of its findings, the most important in the world after that of Cairo.

The National Cinema Museum is a museum located in Turin based in the symbolic monument of the city, the Mole Antonelliana. The Museum develops in an upward spiral, on multiple exhibition levels, giving life to a presentation full of collections that traces the history of cinema from its origins to the present day.

The panoramic view of Turin and the Alpine chain from the Basilica of Superga which stands on a hill 672 meters above sea level. The Basilica can be reached by car, but it is much more suggestive to use the Sassi-Superga tramway.

The Juventus Stadium, also known as the Allianz Stadium, is one of the most advanced and technological facilities in the world, one of the major tourist attractions and an architectural symbol of contemporary Turin. The Allianz Stadium is included in UEFA category 4 and is the first Italian football facility without architectural barriers. An environment open to all and multifunctional, designed not only as a space in which to follow the spectacle of football, but also as a meeting place and entertainment, to be experienced seven days a week. A true jewel in black and white.
