8 Piazza Conte Rosso Turin 10051 Italy |
Going from Turin to the Sacra di San Michele, take a break to visit the lakes of Avigliana which are located near the city of its namesake. There are two lakes: the Lago Grande and the Lago Piccolo or di Trana, both are of glacial origin and have a surface area of 840,000 and 580,000 square metres respectively. There are many sports activities available along the banks of the Lago Grande. Review © 2007, Wcities |

Indispensable communication route |
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 |

The river of Turin |
Corso Vittorio Emanuele II Turin 10121 Italy |
Between the city and the mountains the river, the symbol of the city, winds slowly and majestically. Along the right bank (the side nearest the mountains), are many sports centres, such as the well known rowing schools which have their historic homes here. There are also public areas of greenery which are the perfect places for a tranquil walk. The left bank is characterised by a notable difference in height between the city and the surface of the water. At the edge of the river are the famous 'Murazzi'; a long road which is the home of numerous nightclubs and bars, of all kinds. From 'Murazzi' it is possible to take a 'Navigazione sul Po', a tourist trip which lets you see the city from a different point of view. Review © 2007, Wcities |
