City Sightseeing Torino will allow tourists to fully enjoy the charm of a two-thousand- year-old city which is now projecting itself into the future. Torino was once the capital of Italy and has always played this important role by beating a number of extraordinary and eclectic records over the years: Italian Capital of the Car and this year World Design Capital 2008; Capital of “Taste”, not only for its “Salone Internazionale del Gusto”, but also for its superb wine-and-food heritage, of which chocolate and the custom of aperitif are two delicious examples.
Torino is also the Capital of Cinema owing to the renowned “Torino Film Festival” and the National Museum of Cinema”, which is held inside one of the symbols of the city: the Mole Antonelliana. This is more than a just a Museum, it is a complete, unique experience.
