Younger visitors head to the trendy shops at Via Garibaldi, while antique collectors and connoisseurs prefer the streets surrounding the Mole Antonelliana – one of the greatest landmarks in Turin – which now houses the Museo Del Cinema.
Colorful local markets enhance the already vibrant and bright atmosphere of the quaint and beautiful city. At the Piazza della Repubblica, stalls sell fruits, vegetables, flowers, and an abundance of other things, making the market the most extensive in all of Europe.

First founded as a Roman fortress and camp in the 1st century BC, Turin boasts a proud and ancient history, and has beautifully preserved monuments as testaments to the past. Numerous palaces and old churches dot the luxuriant emerald countryside, as do stunning and successful vineyards. As the birthplace of solid chocolate, Turin holds a chocolate festival each year – Piedmontese chocolate factories attend, as well as internationally recognized chocolatiers.
