If you’re thinking of taking a flight to Turin in the North-west of Italy, you may be pleased to find out that the city has much more to offer than Juventus football club or Fiat cars.
Tourists on our flights to Turin are often drawn here for Turin’s historic buildings many of which are constructed in the Baroque style. One of the few examples of Renaissance architecture is the Duomo, which is a 16th-century cathedral containing the Turin Shroud. The most beautiful building in Turin is the 17th-century Palazzo Carignano, the birthplace of Victor Emanuel II, the first king of Italy.
But it is true that many passengers on our flights to Turin are traveling on business – people connected with the car industry being the biggest single group. In the late 19th century, the Fiat car company was set up in Turin and became a mainstay of Turin’s economy, a position it has retained up to the present. Museo dell’ Automobile displays a full history of the motorcar and of Fiat in particular. Another well-known museum is Museo Egizio, which is one of the most important Egyptian museums in the world. One of the most striking buildings in Turin is the 167-metre-high Mole Antonelliana, which completely dominates the skyline.
If you are taking a flight to Turin for sightseeing, you might decide to travel business class. Not only will you enjoy a glass of champagne onboard and more room, you may end up rubbing shoulders with some of Europe’s most famous footballers!
