Thanks, Stu. I am Betsy, not Betty, but that's OK, cuz you give such good travel tips!!
I have looked at that site and it certainly looks good!
But what do you like about Turin? I've been looking at the Fiat complex (on the web) and learned there is quite a good museum there. Do you know abut it.
Thanks. again.

Betsy:
I've given Turin a wide berth in past drive-thru's, so i can't help much. However, EKSCRUNCHY wrote a great report which included Turin... Have a great trip..

I think I was confused. It was not you, but Castellanese who goes to Turin. Maybe he or she will tell me what they think of it.
I'll also look at EK's - it's hard to keep up with such a lot of good "stuff."

Hi!
Turin is a lovely city. It's quiet and charming (at least the historic center). Besides, it's Italy without the massive tourist-oriented industry that tend to spoil Rome, Florence and Venice. However, Turin's charm is subtle; don't expect to be blown away either like when you visit Rome, Florence and Venice.
My top 5 things to do in Turin: The Roman Quarter, Piazza Castello & Piazza San Carlo, Porta Palazzo Market, Valentino Park, and shopping around Via Roma and Via Garibaldi.
I never made it to Lingotto or Basilica di Superga. My trip report on Turin and Lake Orta is somewhere on Fodors. I'm always planning to go back, but this year is Trieste's turn.
