Turin Travel Guide

The city of elegant arcades, riverside strolls, and hearty Piedmontese flavors, the beloved but underrated, Turin. Here you’ll find the refined architecture of a royal past, the creative energy of its café and aperitivo culture, and the scenic backdrop of the Alps just beyond the skyline.

Having lived here, I’ve done the legwork (and the tasting) for you. While there are countless great spots, this guide features only my absolute favorite standouts. I want to make your trip easier, not harder, so I’ve cut through the noise to bring you the best of the best. This guide is designed so you can wander confidently, eat brilliantly, and experience the city like a best friend is showing you around.

Whether you’re sipping a rich chocolate-coffee “bicerin” in an 18th-century café, exploring the open-air market stalls of Porta Palazzo (Europe’s largest), or savouring a handmade agnolotti del plin at a local pastificio, Turin invites you to slow down and savor.

Let the city’s flavours, sights and hidden corners surprise you!
