Boasting a scenic location at the foot of the Alps, Turin is the capital of the Piedmont region in northwestern Italy. There are a number of attractions here for every visitor, including museums, churches, stunning architecture, chic boutiques, local markets, an abundance of restaurants and a lively nightlife.

Turin has a lot to offer children. Since the Winter Olympics in 2006, the winter sports offerings in the city have improved considerably. There are a number of ski resorts catering to families and there is the chance to enjoy gentle hikes. The city is brimming with parks which are perfect for playing football or having a picnic and if the weather’s cold and wet, there is the National Cinema Museum to keep children entertained.

Turin International Airport is a busy facility located 16kms north of the city centre. It is the main gateway for passengers arriving in the Piedmont region and has a number of international flights arriving and departing every day. The main carrier is Alitalia, Italy’s national airline, which offers a number of domestic flights as well as international flights across the world. In addition, there are a number of budget flights available to and from European cities.
