At a glance
Turin rests in regal charm beside the pretty River Po. Touting itself as Europe's capital of baroque, the city has the air of a capital manqué rather than a provincial outpost. Though much of the suburban sprawl is less than picturesque, there's an enormous green belt with views of the Alps east of the river.
