Best Turin holiday apartments

Turin lies in the northwest of Italy, in the heart of Piedmont. Approximately 107,000 people live here on 130 square kilometres. Turin lies on a plain and is bordered by the Alps on the one hand and the Monferrato mountains on the other. Although the metropolis is a classic industrial centre (among others the car manufacturers Fiat and Lancia have their headquarters here), the city has been able to preserve its beautiful historical character. Our apartments in Turin, the name of the city translates as “little bull”, are partly in the immediate vicinity of numerous magnificent buildings of the Dukes of Savoy and the royal palace “Palazzo Reale”.

Your apartment in Turin: between history and modernity

Although the origins of Turin go back to pre-Christian times, it is architecturally a relatively young city. This is mainly due to the Dukes of Savoy, who built Turin from scratch in the 15th century. In the course of urban renewal, the University of Turin was founded in 1404, making it one of the oldest academic educational institutions in the world. The landmark of the city is the Mole Antonelliana, which was built in the 19th century as a synagogue. Today, the building houses the National Film Museum. But the real highlight is the glass, self-supporting lift. In it, you seem to float weightlessly through the central hall directly under the mighty dome and finally reach the viewing platform that offers an impressive view over Turin. One of the most famous sights of the city is the cathedral Duomo di San Giovanni. This cathedral became known by the so-called Turin Shroud. To visit the shroud of Turin in the cathedral Duomo di San Giovanni, you should plan enough time. Pilgrims worship the linen cloth with the image of a man as a corpse robe of Christ, the queues in front of the entrance are correspondingly long.
