Turin Express - experiencing the best of Italy's Baroque gem in just 24 hours

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. 

I❤️ Markets:Torino

Strolling through Turin is like entering a fairy tale where every street holds a secret and every square a story. Imagine yourself walking under the elegant arcades of Via Roma, feeling the soft touch of the Italian sun on your face as you watch the charming shop windows. Around the corner, the majestic Piazza Castello reveals itself, inviting you to a contemplative break. The vibrant atmosphere of the Porta Palazzo Market awakens the senses with unique colors, aromas and flavors, making every moment there a delicious discovery. And when you finally sit in a cafe on the banks of the Po River, with a cup of cappuccino in hand, you feel the soul of Turin embrace yours, becoming part of a city that not only visits but lives intensely.

Turin: "Where Every Walk is a Journey of Discovery"

For your last day in the city, I highly recommend the Egypt museum. I know, I know— it feels strange to go to a museum about Egypt in Italy! But it is a phenomenal collection and a well designed museum. It’s also close to the OG gelateria of Torino as well as some of the beautiful arcades.

Inspired Italy: Best of Turin, Piedmont

October is the best time to explore Turin and its surroundings while enjoying the white truffle season and Italian autumn 🍂♥️

ALBA, ITALY — This city in the Piedmont region of northwestern Italy takes gastronomy very seriously.

Michelin-starred restaurants lurk around every street corner. The Slow Food movement, which champions the use of local produce and time-honoured cooking techniques, has its headquarters in the nearby town of Bra. The aroma of toasted hazelnuts and chocolate from a Ferrero Rocher plant on the edge of Alba, hangs over the region.

The interest in food grows especially intense in the fall, harvest season for the Alba white truffle. (NY Times)
I’ve put together a perfect plan for two days visit, including 
🥐🥂 Turin gems of local food (breakfast, lunch, aperitivo, dinner and bars)
🛍️ Shopping 
🖼️ Museum you might be interested to see if you are here for the first time

It is possibly the most underrated large city in Italy; Turin, Italy, known locally as Torino, is a vibrant city in northern Italy, the capital of the Piedmont region. It's famous for its rich history and beautiful architecture and is the birthplace of Fiat automobiles. Turin is also renowned for its cultural attractions, including the Mole Antonelliana, which houses the National Cinema Museum, and the stunning Royal Palace of Turin. Additionally, the city is renowned for its cuisine, especially its chocolate and espresso. 

How to spend the perfect weekend in Turin!

Royal Palace of Turin

The Royal Museums of Turin offer a fascinating itinerary of history, art and nature, bringing together in one large museum project the Royal Palace, the Royal Gardens, the Royal Library and Armory, the Savoy Gallery, the Archaeological Museum, the Sale Chiablese and the Chapel of the Shroud. A project that confirms the centrality of the city and its artistic, architectural and historical heritage on an international level: about 3 km of an extraordinary tour to relive the events of the city, from the first Roman settlement to the unification of Italy.

This place is magic! I think I have visited three times this past year and it never gets boring and each time I tend to stay for two or three hours. The gardens are wonderful and so massive, it's educational and much better than a lot of other palaces because you are pretty much free to walk around most of the rooms. - The grounds have a cafe (it's shit) but just go to check out the beautiful crockery from the palace that lines the walls in glass cabinets. 

Musei Reali di Torino, Royal Museums of Turin, include: 
The Royal Palace, Savoy Gallery, Royal Armoury, Royal Library and Archaeological Museum, Chapel of the Holy Shroud, and Chiablese Palace.

Statues of the mythical twins Castor and Pollux guard the entrance of this palace built for Carlo Emanuele II around 1646, now a protected World Heritage Site, with lavish rooms that house a treasure chest of tapestries, porcelain, and canvases.

The Royal Palace of Turin (Italian: Palazzo Reale di Torino) was built in the 17th century and has served as the residence of the kings of Italy. It is a massive and impressive building, surrounded by beautiful gardens, located in the city center, near the Piazza Castello. The palace is open to the public and boasts a number of interesting exhibits, including artworks, artifacts, and historical documents. 

The once official royal palace to the Savoy family, the kings of Italy. They occupied the Palace until Italy was declared a republic in 1946. From then until 2002 they were exiled from the country. 

Today you can access the courtyard and garden for free or visit the numerous museums housed in the palace.
