If you have free time and you would like to spend your time in nice atmosphere go to Turin. Turin is still underrated in the ranks of top tourist destinations in Europe, but it should be in the top ten. The old town in there is very clean and elegant you can see there the good work of city owners and architects. There is a specific charm of the Savoy dynasty with castles in and out of the city. You can find there the splendid Egiptian Museum the top one in Europe and Porta Palatina as an sign of Roman time and a lot of baroque architecture. Turin was the capital of Italy and you can find the proofs in the beaufiful squares and streets. Five days had not been enugh to see everything and we would like to return there.
