3 Days in Turin, Italy

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.

Inspired Italy: Best of Turin, Piedmont

Spend a weekend in Turin, Italy's first capital, gem of the North! 
After living here for a year, I've come across many good restaurants, bars, shopping, and activities. 

Whether you want to watch Torino FC play in The Olympic Stadium from the Olympics that were held here in 2007, or the mighty Juventus at Allianz Stadium. Or even if you want a haircut at the best place in town by my barber, Roberto. 

Sitting down at Pastificio Defilippis for the best pasta in town, or taking a day trip to Alba or Asti to taste some historical Piedmont Wine, Turin and the Piedmont region has it all!

The view of the Italian, Swiss, and French alps is truly unbeatable and absolutely magical. 


Holiday in Turin, Italy

Piemonte holds a super special place in my heart. It is one of the most famous wine regions in all of Italy. Not only is it home to my personal favourite wine but it also has an incredible food scene and truly breathtaking landscapes. I was lucky enough to do my internship here a couple years back during the most exciting time to be in Piemonte - the fall. This is when harvest takes places for wineries so theres lots going on and so much to take part in. The leaves changing colours is magical to witness...hillsides incredible hues of orange and yellow. Lastly, it is the beginning of white truffle season so restaurants are bustling and it is time to indulge in some of the finest cuisine the region has to offer. 



In this guide, I'll recommend my favourite and best wineries to visit, must try restaurants, and charming towns to explore.

Discovering Piemonte 

Porto di Savona

A long-running restaurant for Piedmontese cuisine overlooking the stunning Piazza Vittorio. A bit touristic but the food is great, well cooked and reasonably priced. 

One of Turin’s oldest restaurants, operating since 1863, which serves traditional Piedmontese cuisine

This was one of the first places we fell in love with. Causal and delicious.
