Turin is a city with a lot to offer. The historic center is broken up by arcaded streets, welcoming squares and refined galleries. The Baroque churches and palaces intertwine with old-fashioned coffee bars, galleries and the tree-lined, flower-bedded squares. A series of mountains and hills closes in the plain in which this large working city is situated. Despite the flat geographical position, Turin has maintained an alpine feel that distinguishes it from any other modern European city. The city's classic shopping street is Via Roma, the heart and symbol of the city centre. Under its porticoes - that in all the city stretch for over forty kilometres along a route that is unique in Europe - shoppers can stroll past the beautifully, displayed windows of the city's most exclusive retail outlets, protecyted against the winter storms and the summer heat. Here, the most important names in fashion display every type of garment, leather goods and clothes accessories in an almost uninterrupted sequence that can stand comparison with the most prestigious shopping streets in the world. What also makes shopping in Turin such a unique pleasure is the possibility to take time out in one of the innumerable historic Cafès along the streets of the centre. These too are treasures no visitor should miss with their marble counters and antique furnishing, not to mention the extraordinary range of snacks and canapés they offer at cocktail time.
