10 things to do in Turin, Italy

Turin is one of the biggest cities in the north part of Italy. It was the first capital of Italy and home of the Italy’s royal family Savoia. Today Turin is also very famous, not only because of being industrial city but also because of the rich history and culture and the huge offer of events, concerts and festivals during the whole year. I had an opportunity to spent one year in Turin and definitely those are the 10 things that you shouldn’t miss there.
