The youth hostel of Torino is a great place for a vacation in terms of entertainment, adventure and culture if you like the tranquility of the great Po river and water sports but also require a lively urban setting rich with culture and art. The hostel, a short distance from the river, teaches organized courses in canoeing and kayaking. Torino is a culturally active city with a full calendar of events of music, theater and, of course, its monuments. The Egyptian Museum, and its mummy exhibit, is a must-see - one of the most interesting such museums in the world.
