In Turin, the capital of the Piedmont region of northwest Italy, sports cars and chocolate are a matter of pride. The city is also home to the Museo Egizio, one of the most impressive collections of Egyptian artifacts in the world. A stroll around Piazza Castello and along the Via Roma encompasses many of the must-see sights. Valentino Park houses an 18th-century castle, botanic garden and medieval village. When you've worked up an appetite, sample casual trattorias for pastas, regional wines and coffees.

This vast and romantic park contains an impressive botanical garden, a castle and the Borgo Medievale, a medieval village built for the 1884 Turin International Exhibition.
This huge park apart from its nice setting by the river Po, offers three attractions inside it: - Castello Valentino, former palace in French style architecture, now faculty of architecture, - Borgo Medievale, real life size and very truthful replica of a medieval village, built for 1884 world expo. It's all in a theme park style and considered the predecessor of them, - 12 months fountain, extraordinary fountain with 12 figures (6 on every side) around it representing months. The park has also several eateries spread around by the river, so it's a good 3 hrs spent here.

Great museum. Seeing all the models of FIAT in one place (from the 1910s to the present), including airplanes, ships, engines is a great experience for the entire family. It's absolutely an hidden gem in Torino. Entrance is free.

We visited the synagogues in the Piedmont. Our base was Turin and we prayed at the synagogue there on Friday night and shabbat morning. The congregants were friendly. You do need to contact the synagogue in advance to gain entry.
