Turin: a sudden sweet Surprise!
To be honest - I only booked us a room in Turin because it was so conveniently between menton and Lake Maggiore. What a sweet surprise it turned out to be. The old town is really pretty (when the clean up the marketplace that is... ;-) )
Lots of pretty (old and small) specialty shops, galleries and authentic restaurants to be found. Every corner brings a new square it seems. We spend time in Italy's National Cinema Museum in the landmark "Mole Antonelliana" building. A huge building with a must see exhibition - very nice designed. A "free hanging" exhilaration elevator through the dome of the building brings you 100m up to the panorama deck where you have a stunning view over Turin and the valley. All with all something we didn't expect and Turin is a place to remember and to visit again in the future for sure.
