FOR THE KIDS

Parco del Valentino, a stretch of green along the Po River, has paths for roller-blading and bikin. Teenagers will enjoy shopping and people-watching on Via Garibaldi. Children of all ages will enjoy Torino's Egyptian Museum — the world's first — with one of the most extensive collections of mummies and artifacts in the world.

The Rock Temple of Ellessiya was presented to the museum by the Egyptian government in gratitude for Italian efforts to save monuments threatened by the construction of the Aswan Dam.
