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.
