Turin Mini Guide
How do I get to Turin
Paris, Frankfurt and London are your only options as hub airports from South Africa with there being no direct flights. Still, this gives you the chance for a couple of days’ stopover somewhere nice. The airport is north of the city with a dedicated two lane road into the city.
Getting Around Turin
The E64 and E70 form a part ring road around the greater city with a smaller ring road closer to the centre. It’s a fairly easy city to navigate, based on a grid pattern, despite being chaotically busy at peak times and during holidays.
Getting out of Turin
The airport is often used as a gateway to the Italian ski resorts including Val d’Isere – bear in mind that the Winter Olympics were held nearby. Elsewhere, the city is capital of the attractive region of Piedmont and a drive in any direction takes you through great scenery and historic towns.
Staying in Turin
The Parco Hotel Sassi is found in the Po Valley National Park and so has a wonderfully relaxing air. Such a setting comes at a surprisingly low price of R1000 a night! The Roma e Rocca Cavour is an old, family run hotel at a great price; R700 a night and is close to the railway station.
What’s There to see and do in Turin.
- Watch a football match. One of the giants of Italian football is Juventus and after a few arid years, the club are ascending the heights once more. See passion, flair and lots of goals at a home game.
- The Shroud of Turin. Only displayed every ten years, you’ll have a while to wait until it’s shown again but the exhibition on the shroud’s history and provenance is fascinating.
- The Egyptian Museum. Rather surprisingly it’s one of the biggest collections in the world with over 30,000 exhibits. If you can’t get to Cairo, then it’s the next best thing.
- Superga Cathedral. Not just a beautiful building but in a stunning setting and the home of the tombs of the House of Savoy as well as an FC Torino football team that died in a plane crash nearby.
