2025 Turin Travel Guide: Must-see attractions, popular food, hotels, transportation routes (updated in October)

Turin’s a gem that doesn’t shout, it winks. Think grand boulevards, chocolate shops that could ruin your willpower, and those Alps casually posing in the background. The coffee? Rich enough to fuel a revolution. You can wander the Egyptian Museum, catch a Juventus game, then sip aperitivo in a piazza as the sun dips. It’s elegant, a little mysterious, and totally worth more than a weekend. #Turin #TravelItaly #CityVibes #AperitivoTime #WanderlustItaly #TurismoTorino #HiddenGemsItaly #adventuremoments

#freemuseumdays Italy is famous for its museums—there are many of them, and each one is fascinating! My secret to visiting museums at a big discount (or even completely free!) is quite simple—I’m a student. At almost any museum, you can show your student ID, and it doesn’t matter where you’re from. That’s how I visited the Pinacoteca and the Museum of Modern Art in Bologna for free. Or the Palazzo Ducale and the Museum of Anatomy in Turin with an 80% discount. Don’t worry if you’re not a student! Every major city (or region) has its own city pass system. For example, the Torino Piemonte Card, the MilanoCard, or the Bologna Welcome Card. These passes give you access to museums and tourist attractions, and some even include public transport. It’s much more cost-effective than buying tickets to each museum individually. 📸 Photo spots: 1. Torre dell’Orologio 2. Museo Archeologico di Bologna 3. Museo d’Arte Moderna di Bologna 4. Pinacoteca di Brera, Milano 5. Museo Nazionale dell’Automobile, Torino #localguides #historicallandmarks #italy #bologna#milan#turin #europetrip #museum #familytrip

#cityscape My trip to Torino, Italy, was an unforgettable blend of history, culture, and amazing food! The city, known for its elegant squares and Baroque architecture, felt like stepping into a different era. I spent most of my time wandering around Piazza Castello and Piazza San Carlo, both free to explore, but if you’re a museum lover, I highly recommend the Egyptian Museum – entry is about €15 and it's incredible! Another highlight was visiting the Mole Antonelliana, home to the National Cinema Museum, with breathtaking views from the top (for around €12). Don't miss the royal palaces and the delicious cafes serving classic Italian espresso and gelato. Torino’s mix of history and modern charm makes it a must-visit! 🍝🏛️☕ #Torino #ItalyTravel #PiazzaCastello #CulturalJourney #ItalianVibes #CityOfHistory

#ancienttown The Palace of Turin was included in the World Cultural Heritage List in December 1997. The architectural style of the palace is unique. Most of the palaces are made of bricks, and only a few facades are decorated with marble, which has a sense of solemnity. Built in the 17th century, the Turin Royal Palace has been designed and renovated by seven designers and artists. It fully integrates architectural styles of various periods, including Baroque and neoclassical styles. The architectural style in the palace is luxurious. The decoration of each room is set according to the hobbies of the dynasty at that time, fully demonstrating the design style characteristics of the architecture and interior of the Duke of Savoy period, such as: works of art collected by the royal family, exquisite tapestries and paintings, ingenious clocks and porcelain, beautiful furniture and gold Silverware is overwhelming. The gate of the palace is decorated with a gold-plated snake-haired Medusa head, which implies that it can resist the invaders of the palace. Inside the palace is a Baroque staircase, and oil paintings recording the events of the Savoy family are displayed on the walls on both sides. The Palace is also one of the museums with the richest collection of weapons in the world. It has a collection of many medieval weapons, most of which were made from the 16th to the 17th centuries, including a variety of swords, firearms, armor, etc. Some weapons are treasured by the Duke of Savoy, and others are weapons treasures from the East. Highly recommended!

#Overseas Travel I really like to take a break in a nostalgic cafe. Sigh and drink coffee. 🇮🇹 In Turin, northern Italy, there are dozens of nostalgic coffee shops, each with a different style. Caffe Platti, which has a history of over 100 years, has an interior decoration in a very European aristocratic style, but the coffee here is very affordable☕️⋯Friends who come to Turin, it is worth a visit! Here you can taste Turin's specialty coffee Bicerin (chocolate milk coffee), and desserts are not to be missed. I ordered a cake, and every bite was full of rich chocolate aroma. There is also a handmade chocolate shop next to the cafe, which is a good place to buy souvenirs. #ItalianTravel #EuropeanTravel #OverseasTravel

#Overseas Travel Le Scodelle, an Italian restaurant in Turin in northern Italy, focuses on Emilia-Romagna regional cuisine and adds innovative elements that are very surprising! Gnocco fritto fried dough cake - paired with Italian air-dried ham, the crispy Gnocco Fritto and the salty and delicious Prosciutto are really a perfect match. For the first dish, I chose Tortellini. These tiny dumplings were all handmade and served with a sauce made from 30-month aged Parmesan cheese, which was full of rich cheese aroma. Finally, a bowl of Gelato came, sprinkled with olive oil, with the pure aroma of olives! #ItalianTravel #EuropeanTravel #OverseasTravel

#外游 Drink Bicerin at Caffé al Bicerin, a 250-year-old café in Turin! There are many nostalgic and classic cafés in the city center of Torino, a city in northern Italy. Drinking coffee is something you must do when visiting Turin, and one thing you must especially try is Turin’s most famous traditional coffee – Bicerin. Bicerin, Turin's traditional milk-foam chocolate coffee! To make this traditional coffee, you only need three ingredients: chocolate, Italian espresso and a layer of smooth milk foam Crema di Latte! I feel that layer of milk foam is the essence of Bicerin. It is not as heavy as a creamy panna cotta, nor as light as the foam on a cappuccino. It has a soft, smooth, and milky taste! #ItalianTravel #EuropeanTravel #OverseasTravel

#Overseas Travel There are many historic cafes in Turin in northern Italy. In addition to serving excellent coffee, many of them also retain their classical decorations.

This coffee shop has a history of over a hundred years. In addition to coffee, it also serves aperitifs and some pastries. It is a great place to drink coffee standing up or sit and sip it slowly. 📍Caffe' Torino P.za S. Carlo, 204, 10121 Torino #ItalianTravel #EuropeanTravel #OverseasTravel

#Overseas Travel Take the Sassi-Superga nostalgic tram from the center of Turin to the top of the 672-meter-high Collina Torinese Mountain and visit the Basilica di Superga on the mountain.

On clear days, you can see the panoramic view of Turin near the church. The day I visited there happened to be smog and visibility was not very high. An accident occurred here in 1949, when a plane carrying the Grande Torino football team crashed not far behind the church, and all members of the team died in the accident. A monument was set up next to the church, and to this day, fans come here to pay their respects. #ItalianTravel #EuropeanTravel #OverseasTravel
