Torino Travel Forum

I am moving to Torino in the coming months and want some advice about nice areas to live - we're looking for a young neighbourhood, close to restaurants/cafes, somewhere central.

Dear VT friends,
I am going to spend a afternoon in Torino on 1 May waiting Arturo Brachetti's evening performance at Teatro Alfieri. I wonder about a car park that allow us to be close to the theatre. What places does you suggest to see in this few hours? and what about restaurants nearby?
Thank you in advance for any help you can give me.
Happy travels,
Orietta

What do you recomend me in Torino for a 3 days stay?
Which are the most important sights?
What about nightlife (trendy bars, fashionable)?
And nice restaurants?
Thanks a lot.

I have to go to Torino at the end of August.

I have the choice of these hotels:

-Grand Hotel Sitea

-Concord

-Victoria

Which one would you recommend, notwithstanding the price.

Thank you for your suggestion

Hi

I have been trying to work out the train times for our holiday and it seems there is no train for that time. I was planning on going from Turin to Borgosesia on the 8th January. The train runs now but when i put in the 8th there says there is no train. Is it too early or is there really no train?

If not does anyone know how I can get there?

Thanks

Jess

Has anyone taken a tour of the Streglio Chocolate factory in Turin? I have had their chocolate while in italy and I must confess it's addictive! enough for me to search for a distributer/or visit the factory. I have e-mailed them and no answer. They must be huge like Nestles Co.in USA ?

We will be there next month and wonder what type of weather we can expect. Is it too hot and how about rainstorms?Thank you-Gene

I recently found out that a friend of mine died in Torino Italy and that he is buried there. His sister could not remember the name of the church cemetery but said it was neat where the football team was "buried". Could you tell me if there are other graves in this cemetery or is it strictly a tourist attraction now? thank you for any info.

is there any direct bus from turin airport to via regio parco in settimo torinese?

Hello all,
I am coming on June 28 at night to porta susa. I am leaving morning of July 4 ot go back to Paris.

Can anyone help me find a place to stay? I want to explore the area by foot and rent a bicycle (I race in USA). I want to see Asti and Alba (eat and drink, riding a bike is OK).

Any suggestions for private accomodation, hostels?

Thanks,

Dear all,

I''ll be in Torino in mid-September for 5 days and am currently in the process of booking a hotel. I can't decide between the Best Western Hotel Genova, the Hotel Roma e Rocca Cavour and the Jolly Hotel Ligure. Any advice on which one would be the best choice? Thanks for your help!!!

Thank you all for your response as we are planning to be in that area in August and I don,t want my wife to be afraid of walking in cities and driving from town to town. Many thanks for your words of encouragement as we have never had trouble in Italy and have walked and driven all over never worrying about safety. In any event thanks for the info--Gene

There was a short item on Internet news about a bus hijacking with guns etc near Alessandria-What was that all about as I have not heard of those type of incidents in Italy--Gene

If anyone reads this sight I am just trying to find out if most restaurants and shops stay open in august. I had one nice resposne but need some good inside info-thanks-Gene

We are vacationing in Torino for one week and will have a car to vist the alps etc. I know many Italians are on holiday in August but I wondered if a city like Torino still has many things open to see and restaurants to go to. anyone familiar with this please let me know so we can plan accordingly--Many many thanks-Gene

Villa Scott is the big yellow house at Corso Lanza 57. It was in Profondo Rosso. It has one of those yellow signs in front of it with the building's name and the name of the architect (these signs are in front of many "important" buildings in Torino). Do you know if people currently live in Villa Scott? Does anyone have any information about the interior? Do you think it would be possible to schedule a tour of the interior? How?

THANKS! :)

Questo fine settimana ho in programma di andare a vedere la passerella olimpica da poco aperta al pubblico. Dopo ciņ mi piacerebbe trovare qualche ristorante carino in zona dove cenare con la mia ragazza. Possibilmente mi piacerebbe trovare un locale con atmosfera riservata e tranquilla.

Qualcuno ha qualche posto da suggerirmi? Molte grazie.

Hey there, my wife and I will be travelling to Torino to visit family this christmas. First question: I have been thinking about buying some music for my family and maybe also my wife (unless I decide to buy something else). Anyone know of a great place to shop for music in Turin? Are there any Ricordis there, maybe another good place? While I'm at it we might just check out a mall, if there is one? Anyone?

My friend and I will be in Torino around x-mas. We are hoping to see the x-mas lights in the city, and maybe even ski for a day.

Where is a good place to stay? Most youth hostels have kitchens, and since it is x-mas(and maybe everything is closed? Is it?), we were planning to cook. A budget(I'm a student!) place with a communal kitchen would be good.

Thank you.

I have recently read in a book that the Cappella Della Sacra Sindone, or the Chapel of The Holy Shroud is closed for restauration, after the fire in 1997. is that true? is it still closed? or is it open for visits? if it is open, i was wondering if you could tell me the hours between I can visit it. thank you for the information.
