Turin like you've never experienced it before
Turin, the Italian city that blends elegance, history, and a modern touch, is so much more than its classic cafés or the imposing Mole Antonelliana...
Ready to be surprised?
1. Bicerin, Turin’s best-kept afternoon secret
This typical Turinese drink is a delicious mix of espresso, hot chocolate, and milk cream, served in a small glass without stirring, so every sip is a surprise. The most iconic place to try it is the historic Caffè Al Bicerin, in front of the Santuario della Consolata, where this recipe has been served since the 18th century.
2. A stroll through the Roman Quadrilateral
Beyond the main avenues, Turin hides a maze of alleys steeped in centuries of history: the Roman Quadrilateral. This ancient Roman-era district now pulses with bohemian terraces, independent boutiques, and charming bars—every corner tells a story. Here, every step invites you to wander freely.
3. Urban art in Borgo Campidoglio
Did you know Turin also speaks through its walls? In the neighborhood of Borgo Campidoglio, street art has turned facades into an open-air museum. This creative spot, off the traditional tourist path, is perfect for a leisurely walk and capturing one-of-a-kind photos.
4. Mercato di Porta Palazzo: the soul of the city
Europe’s largest open-air market couldn’t be left out. At Porta Palazzo, scents, flavors, and cultures mix. From fresh produce to curious objects, this market is the perfect place to feel the city’s authentic rhythm and grab a quick local bite.
5. Valentino Park and its medieval village
This isn’t just a park. It’s a green oasis on the banks of the Po River where you can disconnect from the urban rush, rent a bike, or simply lie down under a tree. The most curious feature? A charming medieval village, meticulously reconstructed, that will make you feel like you’ve stepped into another era.
