Turin’s breathtaking views of the Alps made it the perfect setting for the 2006 Winter Olympics. Yet beyond the slopes and the stadiums, Turin offers a dazzling array of cultural pursuits, extraordinary architecture, sophisticated shops, and food and wine that are an epicurean's dream. A Civilized Traveller's Guide to Turin features detailed listings of Turin's cultural attractions; the author’s personal recommendations for hotels, restaurants, cafés, and shops; walks through the city's medieval, Baroque, and modern neighborhoods; suggestions for short trips around the region, ideas for what to do with children, and more.

 

“This friendly and easy-to-use book will guide you—effortlessly, and at just the right tempo—through the cultural, artistic, and culinary generosity of a beautiful city.”—Alice Waters
