1 day: Theme Turin
The imperial city, royal seat, design city, home of the aperitivo and chocolate. First Italian capital…
Trip to Turin. The Piedmontese capital is full of surprises and magic. It is often said to be an industrial city because of Fiat. But visitors will notice as soon as they enter that this is a misconception. Turin was the ROYAL SEAT of the Savoia and the capital of Italy until the end of the 18th century. 12 km of ARCADE with the finest boutiques and the finest delicatessens and legendary CAFES, such as the "Caffee Torino", invite you to stroll. TURIN is home to the OLDEST chocolate factory in the WORLD and a unique film museum.
The aperitivo and grissini were invented here. Turin is also home to the second largest Egyptian museum and the Shroud of Christ. The possibilities here are so varied that we have to tailor the program to your needs.
1 day theme St Michele
A monument, symbol of the Piedmont region and a place that inspired the writer Umberto Eco to write his bestseller The Name of the Rose, the Sacra of San Michele is a very ancient abbey built between 983 and 987 on the hill of Monte Pirchiriano, 40 km from Turin.
At the top, from its small towers, you can admire the capital of Piedmont and enjoy a breathtaking view of the Val di Susa. Inside the main church, the Sacra, built in the 12th century, are the tombs of the royal family of the House of Savoy. There is also a highly recommended climbing path to the top, but you should be in good shape.
