Torino is a personal favorite. Home to Fiat and one of the world's best Egyptian Musuems. Chocolate lover's heaven, Gianduia was created here, using the local hazelnuts to stretch the chocolate. It inspired Nutella. The city has 18 km of covered walkways and wonderful shopping. The food is incredible. It was home to the King of Savoia. He lived there when Italy became united and it was the first capital of Italy. The Market of Torino is one of the largest in Europe. There is a historic building and a huge piazza filled with stands. Not just food, I also adore the flea market, Balon and the grand Balon.

Turin is so underrated. With a fairytale backdrop of the Alps, the city along the Po River feels refined but in a relaxed way. Charm and quality still feel friendly and warm.
