Museo Egizio

The Museo delle Antichità Egizie is the only museum other than the Cairo Museum that is dedicated solely to Egyptian art and culture. Many international scholars, since the decipherer of Egyptian hieroglyphs Jean-François Champollion, who came to Turin in 1824, spend much time pouring over the collections. It was Champollion who famously wrote, “The road to Memphis and Thebes passes through Turin”.The collections that make up today’s Museum, were enlarged by the excavations conducted in Egypt by the Museum’s archaeological mission between 1900 and 1935 (a period when finds were divided between the excavators and Egypt).The Egyptian Museum in Turin has begun 2009 an important project which wants to widen spaces in order to enhance the collections through modern museographical and museological criteria. The Museum will be open all over the period of restoration and the New Egyptian Museum inauguration is scheduled for the year 2015.

Renovated three or four years ago, contains an astonishing array of Egyptian artifacts of the highest quality, most of them "acquired" by at times dubious means, at the beginning of the 19th century and offering a fascinating vision of Ancient Egypt. A treasure house of precious objects and cultural treasures.

Basilica of Superga

Reviewed By kensA8864VK - Columbia, United States

A fun trip. Bus 61 or 68 or tram 15 (1.50 euro) to Saasi-Superga. Finucular (9 euro round trip) to the top, short walk to Basilica. Stunning views of Torino. From here there are walking paths that seem to go many km. The funicular returns once per hour on the half-hour. I did not go in the Basilica, but doing so might extend your stay at Basilica to 2 hours, which in my opinion is too long. Behind the Basilica is a small monument to the AC Torino soccer team that perished in a plane crash. There is a nice wooded path to walk to/from the funicular station to Basilica (15 minutes). The bar at the station has drinks, ice cream, and snacks. Altogether, a good 2-3 hour trip.

Juventus Stadium

Reviewed By 445nikr - Varna, Bulgaria

We combined the tour of the stadium with a visit to the museum and we all did enjoy the both. The stadium is pretty new and very well maintained which, of course, is understandable when we talk about such a great club as Juventus. Our guide was very knowledgeable and was giving a lot of information about the history of the club and its present events. Although the tour group was quite big and the guide was talking in Italian and English, he was able and patient to answer all the questions. Prior to starting the tour, we watched a 2-3 minutes 3D movie about Juventus and its most memorable matches for which we had to pay a couple of euros more. The tour included the grandstand, the pitch, the dressing rooms, the press room, etc. After the stadium tour we went to the museum and finally to the store for some outfits and souvenirs. Would be awesome to visit a match here one day.....
