Although, having more than 2,000 years of history, today it’s largely unknown as it’s overshadowed by other northern Italian cities such as Milan. Turin has a rich and varied cuisine: it was in the Piedmont region where Nutella originated and the Slow Food movement was born. It flourished in the 1960’s thanks to the automobile industry (with companies like Fiat and Michelin). In recent years, Turin has reinvented itself into a green and creative city attracting a vibrant visual and performing arts scene. We propose this guide on things to do in Turin full of tours so you can make the most of your stay in the city.
The NH Torino Lingotto Congress hotel, formerly known as NH Lingotto, is part of the old Fiat factory in the Lingotto area of Turin. It’s connected to both a conference center and shopping and cinema complex, and is just steps away from a range of Italian restaurants as well as the Lingotto metro station.
The NH Torino Centro hotel, formerly known as NH Torino Ambasciatori, is just a kilometer from Turin’s city center, near the Gallery of Contemporary Modern Art. It’s close to the city’s two major train stations, making it easy to get around and see the sights, or take a day trip to Milan, courtesy of the high speed train.
The NH Collection Torino Santo Stefano hotel puts you in the heart of beautiful Turin. We’re in the fashionable Quadrilatero Romano district, an area known for its fantastic shopping, restaurants and nightlife. The San Giovanni Cathedral – home to the Turin Shroud – is right next door.
