Turin

Turin is the home of gianduiotto - a melt-in-the-mouth hazelnut chocolate. In traditional cafés such as ‘Caffè Al Bicerin’ you can experience the typical Bicerin, a hot chocolate and coffee drink with cream. A must for gourmets!

The city's landmark is not only architecturally impressive, but also houses the Museo Nazionale del Cinema - one of the most exciting film museums in Europe with interactive exhibitions and panoramic views over the city.

In Turin, even rainy days can’t stop shopping lovers! No less than 18 kilometers of elegant arcades stretch through the heart of the city, offering shelter and style. Beneath their graceful arches, you’ll find charming cafés, traditional pastry shops and confectioneries, as well as a wide range of fashion and interior design boutiques. For high-end shopping, Via Roma stands out with its lineup of prestigious designer labels.

Experience the magnificent halls and gardens of the former residence of the House of Savoy - a UNESCO World Heritage Site and fascinating insight into Italy's monarchical history.

The Egyptian Museum is an absolute must-see in Turin. Its rich collections are considered the most important in the world outside of Cairo. Founded in 1824, the museum recently began a major transformation to celebrate its 200th anniversary — enhancing the visitor experience and reaffirming its place as one of the city’s top cultural attractions.

Try regional specialities such as tajarin with truffles, Piedmontese wines or visit the Porta Palazzo - one of the largest open-air markets in Europe.

A walk along the Po river or in the Parco del Valentino offers relaxation with a marvellous backdrop - a real insider tip, especially at sunset.

Thanks to the direct train connection via Milan, Turin is easily and sustainably accessible from Switzerland (direct connection between Basel, Bern and Zurich to Milan). The journey takes you through the beautiful Alpine foothills - perfect for a relaxed arrival with marvellous views.
