Enjoy Turin with a Hire Car from Auto Europe
Turin, or Torino, is in north-western Italy and lies nestled beneath the snow capped Alpine mountains.
It has an imaginative architecture with elegant Grand Baroque buildings that reflect its glorious past. The historical sites include the Royal Palace, residence of the Savoy dynasty, with extraordinary treasures such as the royal library with its 20,000 drawings and sketches by Michelangelo and da Vinci. The Egyptian Museum, the oldest in the world and the second most important, displays among other relics, the black granite statue of Ramses II.
Climb to the top of the Antonellian Mole, the tallest synagogue structure in Italy and see outstanding views of the city. Turin hosted the 2006 Winter Olympics and has attracted more travellers with the availability of additional brand new facilities for sports. With the Alps so close it is an excellent base for a skiing break. Drive to the west of Turin to the Valle di Susa and find popular ski resorts such as Sauze d'Oulx, Bardonecchia and the modern Sestriere with 20 ski-lifts.
In addition, the Valle d'Aosta with fantastic scenery of castles, pine forests and wooden chalets protected by the shadows of high mountains such as Mont Blanc, Gran Paradiso, the Matterhorn and Monte Rosa. Other places to explore are the Dolomites, a vast mountain range offering many winter and summer activities.
