 Travel Turin
by HAMZA
Turin owns a huge heritage represented by cultural institutions that operate in the most diverse fields of knowledge and are united by great dynamism. Home of a renowned university, especially famous for its studies in history, economics and sciences, and its world class school of engineering, Turin also houses a number of cultural institutions of international repute thanks to their splendid libraries, collections of rare and ancient books and priceless documents. Turin today is a dynamic reality engaged in a modernisation process unrivalled in Italy. Although it is internationally renowned as an industrial city and a capital of the motor car, today its image is different – the city is oriented towards the new high-tech Europe. Testimony to these facts is housed in some of the most important museums in the city. In the rooms of the National Motor Car Museum it is possible to follow the evolution of the motor car, from the earliest steam-powered vehicles to the modern mass production models. The old steel and iron industrial area is being transformed into Europe's first environmental technological park occupying an area of 100 hectares and finally, the city's railway system is being redeveloped and improved with important railway links, thus making a radical transformation in the system for access into the city, and the mobility around it. Majestic and imposing, the River Po'crosses Turin offering to whoever wants to discover the city by taking a ride along the water, a route rich with surprises.
