Excursions in Turin

Turin is an original city that is not like the rest of Italy. The proximity to the Alps creates an aura different from Mediterranean resorts. The city is surrounded by mountains and hills, and guides often offer a tour of the Alps. Here the streets are wide and straight, and the abundance of parks and palaces owes to the royal families who preferred to build their residences in this very place. The Royal Turin has a quiet and cozy environment, lots of attractions, unique programs with a guide and a lot of entertainment for children.

Interesting tours are the main part of any trip. Besides a fascinating sightseeing tour of Turin, any guide can offer something unusual, such as trying out the role of a trifolayo (a specialist in the harvesting of Piedmont truffles) and learning the know-hows of the trade.

Attractions of Turin:

1. Egyptian museum with historical artifacts and exhibits, some of which have no counterparts in the whole world. For example, erotic papyrus (sex-themed), royal papyrus (with the image of all the mythical creatures of the Nile Valley), the ancient papyrus map with geographical objects, as well as mummies, jewelry and rare sculptural compositions – an English-speaking guide will tell tourists about it all.
2. Castle Valentino in French style – the harmony of architecture and living matter. From some hotels you can see the castle, and thus the travelers enjoy beautiful views. The fortress is made in the form of a horseshoe, and inside the building there are unique mosaic floors that are a joy to see.
3. The cathedral of snow-white marble is a religious shrine named after St. John the Baptist.
4. The Madama Palace, originally a fortress, is the only Renaissance exhibit that has remained much as it was.
5. The Palatine Gate is a masterpiece of ancient architecture, and when tourists go on a tour they visit it almost every time.
6. National Museum of Automobile Industry.

Entertainment in Turin is more exciting than any tour. Here you can visit a water park with water activities, an entertainment center with interesting amusement rides and a recreational park where golfing is available.
