Basílica de María Auxiliadora

In this guide I will guide you through Turin, a city where I lived for 5 months and the first capital city of Italy, in just one day; to let you have a good overview of the city.

Turin, the capital of Italy's Piedmont region, is a city steeped in history, culture, and culinary delights. Nestled at the foot of the Alps, Turin's elegant boulevards are lined with grand palaces, Baroque architecture, and tree-lined avenues. The city is perhaps best known as the home of the Shroud of Turin, a revered religious relic housed in the Cathedral of Saint John the Baptist. This guide includes: - introductory note - places to visit (photo spots, museums and cultural venues, parks and gardens, open squares and others) - restaurants - coffee places Get to see more from my travels on my Instagram (@pedralexpereira) and Flickr (flickr.com/photos/pedralexpereira)
