Turin with your class

Turin is one of Italy's most underrated capitals, a city of grand arcaded streets, royal palaces, and a surprisingly modern creative scene. Students explore the baroque splendour of Piazza San Carlo, dive into the world-class Museo Egizio, take a historic rack railway to the Basilica of Superga, and visit the National Automobile Museum before closing at the iconic Mole Antonelliana.
