 The largest shopping centre |
Via Crea, 10 Turin, Torino 10095 Italy +39 11 770 9703 |
Be aware when entering this huge shopping centre, because however strong your resolve not to spend may be, you will not leave empty handed. It is almost impossible to overcome the temptation posed by the 180 shops, the great supermarket, the department stores, the bars and the restaurants. Moreover, parents can enjoy hassle-free shopping with their minds at rest that their children are being looked after in the Baby Club. They are kept entertained with toys, games, and television shows all supervised by the patient babysitters. The centre even provides respite from the muggy August heat as it is fully air conditioned and has a terrace which is often used for live shows. However, one black spot does tarnish all this splendour, and that is the lack of parking. The 5000 spaces available are not always enough for the large number of shoppers who descend on the shopping centre, especially on a Saturday afternoon. Review © 2007, Wcities |

 A chocolate factory |
Corso Moncalieri, 47 Turin 10131 Italy +39 11 660 2202 |
The name of Peyrano is essential to the great tradition of the Turin chocolate makers. A dynasty which, despite great demand for its products, does not want to change the traditional way in which its chocolates are made in an old building beside the Po, opposite the Parco del Valentino. One can find more than sixty wonderful types of chocolates in its shops, including the unforgettable "giandujotti", an excellent chocolate from Turin which was invented back in 1865 by an alchemic mixture of chocolate and the round and "gentile" hazelnut of Piedmont.
