Introducing Turin
Turin (Torino) is magical. It’s Italy’s fourth-largest city and has an illustrious past, resulting in elegant squares, world-class museums and historic cafés, flanked by some 18km of colonnaded walkways.
History hasn’t stood still here, however: Turin has pioneered a host of innovations, from Fiat cars to the first-ever Slow Food supermarket (housed in an old Fiat factory). Funky new bars spill onto the cobblestone streets of the Quadrilatero Romano during aperitivi, and contemporary art installations grace its baroque buildings and the odd Roman ruin.
