About Turin
Turin, the capital of Piedmont in northern Italy, is a city that beautifully blends rich history with the vibrancy of modern Italian culture. Known for its refined architecture and cuisine (particularly chocolates), Turin was Italy’s first capital city in 1861. The city is also renowned for iconic attractions such as the Mole Antonelliana, the Turin Royal Palace, and the Museo Egizio, which houses one of the most significant collections of Egyptian antiquities outside of Egypt. Beyond its historical and cultural significance, Turin emerges as a hub for innovation and contemporary art, making it an intriguing destination for travelers seeking a mix of the old and new. The city's backdrop against the Alps adds a dramatic natural beauty, ensuring that a visit to Turin is as scenic as it is enriching.
Travel Tips for Turin
Exploring Turin is an exciting journey, but it helps to keep some travel tips in mind. The city's public transportation system, including buses, trams, and a metro line, is efficient and easily navigable. Consider purchasing a Torino Card for free or discounted entry to various museums and attractions, as well as unlimited public transportation. Accommodations in Turin range from luxury hotels to charming B&Bs in the historic centre; booking in advance is recommended to secure your ideal lodging. Cultural etiquette in Turin aligns with Italian customs – greeting with a “Buongiorno” (good morning) or “Buonasera” (good evening), and always saying “per favore” (please) and “grazie” (thank you). Dining later in the evening is common, with many restaurants opening around 7:30 PM. Lastly, Turin takes pride in its appearance and history, so visitors are encouraged to respect its public spaces and historical sites.
