Most famous Museum is
Egyptian Museum: an
outline and the official
site (it is
still under construction, but is already being filled of useful info,
even though in Italian only) |
|

|
Mole Antonelliana, the tall tower which is the symbol of Torino,
sort of an Eiffell Tower for us.
You can go on top of it by elevator, any day (except Mondays) until
20:00 at least (check on the linked page) |

SOME SUGGESTIONS
|
|
You can pick up
further documentation, and get any other
info when arriving, at the
Information Points of "Turismo-Torino".
One is located at the arrival level of the Torino airport, any day
from 8:30 to 22:30
Another is inside the "Porta Nuova" Central
Railway Station, at track No. 17, any day from 9:30 to 19:00, on
Sundays until 15:00.
The third is in Piazza Solferino. |
|
I would suggest an afternoon (or evening)
walk, from the Central Railway Station "Porta
Nuova", through Piazza Carlo Felice, Via Roma, Piazza San Carlo,
Piazza Castello (where Palazzo Madama and Palazzo Reale are placed).
Better if before 19:30, when all the shopping stores in Via Roma are
open and lit. |
|
Just be careful,
the area of Porta Nuova station (especially
Via Nizza) is NOT safe at night.
Keep out after 21:00, or at least follow the crowd, and avoid lonely
areas.
