Having revamped the stately, elegant historic centre, Turin's city fathers are now preparing to stun visitors to the 2006 Winter Olympics here with a slew of ambitious new projects which, they hope, will make Turin a worthy rival to Italy's other historic' tourist destinations and give it the edge in the contemporary art and architecture stakes. In the first edition of our "Turin Guide", Time Out's resident writers delve into the city's regal past and cutting-edge present, to guide readers through immense artistic wealth and through the latest additions to Turin's art showcases, including architect Renzo Piano's bubble' atop, a classic Fiat building, and the dramatic Sandretto Re Rebaudengo exhibition space. But the "Turin Guide" also goes further afield, to the glorious countryside of the Piedmonte region with its exquisite wines, great ski-slopes and sought-after truffles.

5.0 out of 5 stars
Essential Turin handbook,
By MVP (Washington) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Time Out Turin (Paperback)
My husband and I nearly wore out this book during our two-week trip to Torino for the 2006 Winter Olympics. The writing and photos are hipper and more sophistocated than the typical travel book. And it's all contained in a thin, well-organized package that practically fits in your pocket. It offers concise suggestions for hip clubs, out-of-the-way restaurants and bars and other attractions that made us feel like virtual-locals.
