Corso Vittorio Emanuele II Turin 10121 Italy |
Leaving from the south-west extremity of the city, the Balbis or Delle Molinette bridge can be found, built by Guiseppe Pagano Pogatschnig in 1928. Opposite the Maggiore hospital is the Isabella bridge, the Umberto I bridge, built between 1903 and 1907 and decorated with four monumental allegorical groups. At the beginning of the Corso Vittorio is the Vittorio Emanuele I bridge, opposite the Gran Madre, dating from 1815 and built for Napleon. There is also the Regina Margherita bridge, at the beginning of the street from which it gets its name, which offers an excellent view over the Superga. Review © 2007, Wcities |

Strada Colle della Maddalena Turin 10133 Italy |
The hills rise in the south-east of the city near the right bank of the Po, culminating in the south in the Colle della Maddalena (715 metres). The hill is characterized by a park which surrounds the top, called the Park of Remebrance as every tree in the park is dedicated to a soldier killed in the war. At the top of the hill, is the Statue of Victory - 18.5 metres high, near a lighthouse visible to most of the surroundings of Turin. There is an excellent view of the city from here.

Dining On-The-Go |
Corso Turati 19/6 Turin 10128 Italy +39 011 576 4733-750 http://www.comune.torino.it/gt... |
With all the wonderful food and historic sights Turin has to offer, it can be hard to fit everything into one visit. However, Ristocolor provides busy travellers with a new way to dine- onboard a historic tram! Take a ride through the streets and past historic monuments while enjoying each dish specializing in the delicious Piedmont cuisine. The tram has been completely renovated to fit up to 32 passengers, with colorful decorations both inside and out. It is a great way to fit in even more of what the city has to offer.

It you like a good view and enjoy using fun methods of transport, try a trip on the rack railway up to the Superga. To get there, take Corso Casale to Piazza Gustavo Modena or simply ask directions for the Sassi district. The railway was built in 1935 to replace the funicular that dated from 1884. It rises to a height of 419 metres in just over 3 kilometres. Review © 2007, Wcities |
