Walking around Turin is one of the best experience to do once you arrive. It is easy to be caught by the facades of its monumental buildings or by the magnitude of its parks. Opera 35 is in the middle of everything you need : Via della Rocca opens to one of the largest squares in Italy, Piazza Vittorio Veneto, one of the favorite destinations of Torinese people because of the many places you can have a drink or a bite.
