Inspired Italy: Best of Turin, Piedmont

Mom and daughter euro trip ✈️🧳💃

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
🍷 Wineries 
🍝Spots for enjoying truffle 
🤷🏽‍♀️ Explaining why you can take the truffle hunt off your list

Turin and surroundings has much-much to show, and I’ll be creating new ultimate guides very soon.

Turin 

Piazza San Carlo

Known as the Salotto of Turin, it’s the large open piazza between the famous Porta Nuova Station and Piazza Castello. 

Once known as Piazza Nobile, as it was apartments of the wealthy, then as Piazza d’Armi as there was a military school. 

Today it takes its name from the San Carlo church, that to the right of the two. 

This square is known for its many historic cafes, and today you can also visit the Gallerie d’Italia by Intesa San Paolo

This grand pedestrian plaza, known to hold events, is surrounded by 17th-century baroque architecture and porticos with famous cafes and is connected at both ends to the shopping street, Via Roma, and Galleria San Federico.
