My fav city Torino 🇮🇹
#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! 🍝🏛️☕

The Elegant Heart of Turin: Piazza San Carlo’s Timeless Charm
#traveldiaries
Often called the “living room” of Turin, Piazza San Carlo is one of the city’s most elegant squares. Framed by two Baroque churches, Santa Cristina and San Carlo, this historic square has been a gathering place for centuries. Lined with chic cafes, it’s the perfect spot to enjoy a cappuccino and people-watch. The equestrian statue of Emmanuel Philibert in the center of the piazza adds to its grandeur. By night, the square takes on a magical quality, with the warm glow of lights reflecting off the buildings. Whether you’re taking in the architecture or soaking up the lively atmosphere, Piazza San Carlo encapsulates the essence of Turin’s refined yet welcoming spirit.

Beautiful Turin
#turin is a very beautiful place to visit. The city centre is a very beautiful square with lots of attractions around. The city centre is particularly beautiful at night. I also love how the #architecture is vintage and still modern. The buildings and streets are so much alike that it may be easy to get lost 🤣, but Google maps helps a lot. I will definitely plan to visit again!
