After Italy’s win last year, Eurovision 2022 is set to take place in Turin in May. If you were lucky enough to secure tickets, or simply want to head to the city to soak up the atmosphere, here are some suggestions for things to do in and around Turin. Surrounded by Alps, it has a slight French feeling to the city, and was historically home to the royal Italian residence.

Turin is famous for its cars (it is home to Fiat), coffee (Lavazza), and Nutella which is produced nearby. Due to its’ geography, Turin can get very warm, even in spring. The surrounding mountains act like shield against the wind, and it means summer the city can feel like being in a large flying pan. So make sure to bring light comfortable clothes, and to stop at the ‘Toret’ - the free public water fountains scattered around the city.
