You will just have to choose the museum you find more interest in: the National Film Museum, the Automobile Museum and the wonderful Egyptian Museum, second only to the one in Cairo. The gastronomic traditions, the extraordinary wines, the chocolate to taste in the rooms of the historic coffee houses.
Pralines, chocolate creams and "gianduiotti", without forgetting the "Bicerin", hot drink made up of milk, coffee and chocolate, loved by Cavour and celebrated by Alexandre Dumas too.

Turin lights up your eyes with its green, The vastness of its parks, the tree-lined avenues, the banks of the four rivers crossing it, and the hill, where you can observe woods, orchards and natural oasis, whit the majestic profile of the Alps standing against the horizon.
Turin is also one of the main Italian ICT centres, and the research and development activities in this field combine with the one of the prestigious Polytechnic University of Turin.
