1 Ultimate Day in Turin, Italy

The hard yards (a great deal of effort or hard work - Australian slang) have been done with this guide I have spent time curating the perfect list of my go-to and want-to for the next trip (I visit Turin monthly at least) So the guide below has plenty of choices if you visiting Turin for more than a day or two. It includes:

- 20 bars (the map indicates the neighbourhood and I have written something about each one to help you along your way

I find Turin irresistible, and a big reason for that is its amazing bar culture and history. It feels like every corner has a bar that beckons, tempting me with the prospect of a cheeky Vermouth or Turino Milano. This guide leans into the local favourites, with a dash of the classics that still hold a special place in the hearts of the city's residents. Another big thing is Turin is red wine (Barolo, Barbaresco and Nebbiolo) so wine bars also show up in this Free Guide. If you like this and want a more in-depth guide for Turin consider my Turin guide as your personal tour guide:)

Turin Best Bars

While Italy is synonymous with the delightful tradition of Aperitivo, its cocktail scene is a whole other world waiting to be explored.  As a seasoned traveller who appreciates a perfectly crafted drink (and the friendly chat with the bartender that often comes with it), I've had the pleasure of discovering countless incredible cocktail bars across the country. Whether it's a new city I'm visiting or a familiar favourite I'm revisiting, Italy never disappoints.

Lucky for me, Northern Italy is my home base, and it boasts a high concentration of exceptional options.  However, the South holds its own when it comes to fantastic cocktail experiences (with Rome leading the charge) This guide represents my curated list of the best-of-the-best, a culmination of expert experiences and the occasional repeat visit for quality assurance (yes, sometimes a second or third try is necessary!).

Italy, after all, is the birthplace of iconic cocktail ingredients like Vermouth, Campari, and Aperol. But its treasure trove extends far beyond, with gems like St. Germain, Amaro, Grappa, Amaretto, Limoncello, and the hospitality worker's secret weapon - Fernet.

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.

Great Bar just upstairs from Del Cambio and just as slick and glamorous. Turino Milano is a must as it's the classic cocktail of this city. - Snacks are incredible, make a night of it, the room is super sexy.

Enjoy cocktails before dinner (aperitivi)—or drinks after—at the bar of Del Cambio.
