Turin Holiday Weather Overview
Though it does not the same level of fame among tourists as other Italian destinations like Rome or Florence, Turin is a large city with much to offer, including a convenient northern location. Turin is close to the border with France and large, modern expressways make travel by road in the region fast and straightforward.
With more than a million residents, Turin enjoys plenty of modern amenities. It also has a rather sophisticated flavour that is largely a result of the city having been home to the Savoy royal family. In fact, the former royal residence of the House of Savoy and the surrounding neighbourhood are an UNESCO World Heritage site.
Turin enjoys many fine buildings and monuments, as well as old streets full of character. The Mole Antonelliana, which started life as a synagogue, is a popular landmark. Turin's big history of automobile production is marked by the Museo dell'Automobile. Coffee can be enjoyed in historic surroundings at the Piazza Castello. A trip on the Sassi-Superga tramway provides excellent views of Turin.
