Best things to do in Turin

Torino Unmissables

Torino’s landscape reflects its dual identity as a former royal capital and an industrial powerhouse. The city’s heritage is showcased through the 17th-century Villa della Regina and the hilltop Basilica of Superga, while the repurposed Lingotto factory and MAUTO museum highlight its automotive legacy. Cultural landmarks include the neoclassical Gran Madre di Dio church and the neo-medieval village in Parco del Valentino. These sites, alongside expansive squares like Piazza Vittorio Veneto and the riverside Murazzi, define the architectural and historical character of the Piedmontese capital.
