Turin “The Undiscovered Gem”
Written by admin on 16 June, 2010 – 10:59 pm -
A guest article by my parents who write about their recent stay in Turin and include useful websites that will help you plan a visit to this incredible city.
Less than a month ago we were enjoying the beautiful weather and culture of Turin. This was our fourth visit to this most attractive Italian city. We have visited most other Italian cities but Turin always remains our favourite, partly because it has less tourists than the others, even though it has much to offer in buildings, monuments, history and culture. It was the main city for the Savoy Royal Family, who later became the kings of a united Italy. Therefore there are so many palaces and collections connected with them, which the general public are fortunate enough to be able to visit with very little effort or expense, particularly if you purchase one of the Piemonte Cards, which entitles you for entrance into most of the palaces, museums, art galleries and on public transport.
