Best Months to Visit Turin
- The Piedmont capital has four distinct seasons, so it's worth delving into each one to determine the best time to visit Turin.
- Turin has a moderately continental climate (or the general Mediterranean).
- In short, summers are warm, sunny, and humid, winters are cold and damp, and the rest of the year can be cloudy.
- At around 250 metres (about 800 feet), Turin is situated at the base of the Alps.
- Because of its location, it is not as hot in the summer and as foggy in the winter as the rest of the Po Valley in Northern Italy.
- Temperatures in Turin range from 31°F/0°C to 84°F/29°C, rarely exceeding 90°F/33°C or falling below 24°F/-5°C.
- Is it possible to get snow in Turin? It does, even though snowfall has decreased over the years.
- Snow is common in winter, which is also Turin's driest season.

The Best Places to Visit in Turin
Museo Egizio
- Looking at Egyptian mummies and art may appear to be one of the more unusual things to do in Turin, Italy. Still, there is no better collection outside of Cairo, and it is Turin's most visited attraction.
- The Egyptian Museum is housed at the Palazzo dell'Accademia delle Scienze, and the collection of the museum began with King Carlo Felice's purchase of 5,268 Egyptian artefacts in 1824.
- Later expeditions added to these, and the collections now include statues of various gods and New Kingdom pharaohs, including Rameses II and King Thutmose III, papyruses, painted linens, and two tomb chambers from Thebes.
Mole Antonelliana (Museo Nazionale del Cinema)
- The arcaded Via Po runs from Piazza Castello to Piazza Vittorio Veneto and the Po River.
- The massive Mole Antonelliana, just north of Via Po, was begun as a synagogue by Alessandro Antonelli in 1863, with a 168-meter-tall spire added between 1878 and 1880.
- This is not only the most recognisable landmark on Turin's skyline but also provides spectacular 360-degree views of the city, surrounding hills, and the Savoy Alps.
- The National Museum of Cinema, housed inside the structure, is seen with a dizzying and spectacular perspective from the glass elevator trip to the top, which is a truly unique experience.
- François Confino, the museum's designer, describes it best: "a full-immersion plunge into the world of images in motion and fiction."
- This museum is enjoyable for everyone, regardless of their interest in movies. However, you can ride the lift to the top for a price in addition to museum admission.
Juventus Stadium
- The stadium is officially known as the Allianz Stadium, but it is simply known as The Stadium in Turin.
- It is strictly for football (soccer) fans and a must-see for Turin's Juventus fans.
- Visit the museum and take a guided tour of the facilities, including the locker rooms, press box, and pitch itself (but not a chance to sit in the stands).
- Tours are given in English, and exhibits are also labelled in English.
- The trophy room, uniforms, artefacts, a movie about the team and its supporters, and souvenirs are all on exhibit.
- The store is filled with Juv memorabilia. It should be noted that the museum tour and the stadium tour require separate tickets; the one does not include the other.
Museo Nazionale dell'Automobile
- The National Automobile Museum offers a comprehensive overview of the evolution of the automobile, with a focus on the Turin automakers but not exclusively on them.
- There is a fantastic exhibition of vintage and classic cars, and multimedia exhibits tell their stories and place them in social and cultural contexts.
- Among the vehicles on display are several FIAT and Alfa Romeo models and models from Ferrari, Lancia, Maserati, Auto Bianchi, and Bugati.
- However, there are examples of Jaguar, Rolls Royce, Mercedes Benz, a Packard Super 8 and a BMW Isetta.
Palazzo Reale and Armeria Reale (Royal Armory)
- The former Royal Palace, which occupies an entire side of Turin's large Piazza Castello, is a relatively plain 17th-century structure, at least from the outside.
- Step inside, however, and you'll be dazzled by the Appartamento di Madama Felicità and the 26 sumptuously decorated state apartments (Reali Appartamenti).
- The former Royal Armory (Armeria Reale) in the right-wing houses one of Europe's largest collections of arms and armour, with complete suits of armour and other items dating from the 15th to the 19th centuries.
- The library, which has its entrance on the far left, is one of the most impressive in Italy.Beyond the Palazzo Reale are the lovely Royal Gardens (Giardini Reali), where the Museo d'Antichità, which contains artefacts from prehistoric times to the late Roman Empire, is located at the corner (the entrance is on Corso Regina Margherita).
Piazza San Carlo
- The arcaded Piazza San Carlo, bordered by arcaded buildings and accentuated at one end by the matching façade of the churches of Santa Cristina and San Carlo, is one of Turin's most beautiful squares and roads.
- Some of Turin's most stylish shops and historic cafés, where Italy's Risorgimento was plotted in the mid-1800s, can be found beneath the arcades.
- The square is dominated by an imposing equestrian statue of Duke Emmanuel Philibert (1838), who appears to be choreographing the activity below.
- Look for the works - often in progress - of Turin's talented chalk artists on the pavement beneath the arcades.
- Some of Turin's favourite shopping spots are also located beneath the piazza's arcades (as well as those along nearby Via Po).
Borgo Medioevale and Parco del Valentino
- Take a stroll along the river and into the expansive green Parco Valentino when you need a break from Turin's lavish palaces and impressive architecture.
- Turin's own "folly" - a complete "mediaeval" village, an imaginative view of what one might have looked like, complete with its castle, artisans' studios, and shops - can be found here.
- The borgo, built for an exhibition in 1884, became such a local favourite that it has been preserved as part of the park.
- Craftspeople market their products and their historical expertise (if your suit of armour needs repairs, this is the place to go). This is one of the city's most popular destinations for families because there are frequently interactive weekend activities.
- The park is widely liked by both inhabitants and travellers due to its lovely riverfront location so close to the historic and business centres, as well as its other attractions, the 1729 Botanic Gardens and the Savoys' exquisite Renaissance Castello del Valentino (1630–60).
- Additionally, the area is excellent for those who wish to be active because it is car-free. The entire park is traversed by Viale Virgilio, which passes through eateries with river views.
- A boat landing is available where you can board the glass-enclosed boats for a river cruise.
The Cathedral and the Holy Shroud
- The Cathedral of San Giovanni Battista, built between 1492 and 1498 next to the Palazzo Reale, was Turin's first example of Renaissance architecture.
- The main tourist attraction at the cathedral is the Santa Sindone, or Holy Shroud, which is kept in a bulletproof, fireproof, and climate-controlled vault behind the altar in the left transept.
- A full-size replica hangs in the cathedral's north aisle.
- Despite studies and research, the Holy Shroud has never been proven or disproven to be the shroud of the crucified Christ.

Turin Off the Beaten Track
Palazzo Madama and Museo Civico d'Arte Antica
- The large Palazzo Madama, which stands alone in the centre of Piazza Castello, is the square's focal point.
- The castle was built on the remains of the Roman east gate in the 13th century.
- A famous example of Piedmontese Baroque architecture, the castle was expanded in the 15th century, and Filippo Juvarra added decorations in 1718, notably the spectacular double staircase and charming west front.
- Learn about Turin's history and creative legacy within the Museo Civico d'Arte Antica (Civic Museum of Ancient Art).
- Start at the Roman foundations and explore the mediaeval sculptures, stonework, and jewellery collection. On the ground level, explore the Renaissance and Middle Ages art, the 15th-century castle, the grand staircase, and the mediaeval courtyard.
- The richly appointed 17th and 18th-century state apartments on the first-floor house collections of paintings and period furniture, while the decorative arts on the top floor include ceramics, ivories, jewellery, fabrics, and glasswork from various eras.
San Lorenzo
- Don't let the church of San Lorenzo's facade deceive you; go inside this Guarini Baroque masterpiece from 1668 to 1680 and prepare for a surprise. It is located next to the Palazzo Reale.
- San Lorenzo is one of the world's great churches due to its unusual and daringly designed dome and lantern.
- The round domed centre is surrounded by eight curved bays and supported by intersecting ribs holding the lantern.
- Standing directly beneath it, the symmetry and pattern of light from the windows give it the appearance of a kaleidoscope.
- Take note of the striking Baroque altar as well.
Day Trip to Reggia di Venaria Reale
- Although it is only about 14 kilometres from central Turin, seeing one of the world's largest royal residences will take a full day.
- The Baroque grandeur and ostentation of the hunting lodge Carlo Emanuele II of Savoy had built-in 1675 fit in with the Savoy's desire to create Turin "the Paris South of the Alps."
- Despite being a UNESCO World Heritage Site, the palace is little known.
- Because of this, it is rarely crowded, and you can explore its grand galleries, residential apartments, and extensive formal gardens at your leisure.
- Highlights include the imposing Grand Gallery, the graceful Hall of Diana, the lofty Royal Stables, the Capella di Sant'Uberto, and the early 1700s design of Filippo Juvarra.
- At the Water Theater's choreographed fountain shows, 100 jets shoot water as high as 12 metres while coloured lights flash through them.
Museo Nazionale del Risorgimento Italiano (Risorgimento Museum)
- The Italian parliament met in the Palazzo Carignano (by Guarini, 1679–85) close to Piazza Castello from 1861 to 1864, and it was here that the Kingdom of Italy was proclaimed on March 14, 1861.
- The Museum of the Risorgimento, which honours the movement that made unification possible and in which Turin played a significant role, should now call this location home.
- This is the largest museum, with souvenirs and relics from the Italian unification campaign and both world wars displayed in 30 rooms.
- But the museum is so well-run, and its exhibits are so beautifully presented with interactive exhibits, videos, and audio tours that it produces a captivating story.
- The length of an audio tour route might range from 45 minutes to two hours, depending on your interest and available time.
Galleria Sabauda
- The Galleria Sabauda, located within the Palazzo dell'Accademia delle Scienze, is an art museum that houses some of Turin's most valuable treasures.
- The collection features significant works by Tuscan artists, including Beato Angelico's Angels in Adoration, Piedmontese and Venetian artists like Mantegna (Madonna with Saints) and Paolo Veronese Tintoretto, Tiepolo, and Canaletto.
- Paintings by Jan van Eyck, Rogier van der Weyden, Hans Memling, Van Dyck, and Rembrandt are among the numerous Dutch and Flemish pieces on display.
- One room houses the Gualino Collection, including Botticelli and Veronese works.
Galleria d'Arte Moderna
- With approximately 45,000 works in its collection, the Galleria d'Arte Moderna has one of the finest collections of modern art in Italy.
- Italian artists like Modigliani, De Chirico, Carrà, De Pisis, and Guttuso are highlighted. However, there are also pieces by artists like Renoir, Utrillo, Paul Klee, Max Ernst, and Marc Chagall.
- The museum's motto, "All Art Has Been Contemporary," reminds travellers that pieces that were once judged unusual (or insignificant) are today prized by the top museums in the world.
Porta Palatina
- The Decimus Maximus, also known as Via Garibaldi, was the main thoroughfare of the Roman city of Augusta Taurinorum. The imposing first-century gate, Porta Palatina, near the cathedral, is the only remaining of the Roman city's four entrances.
- Porta Palatina's three-story brick wall connects a pair of polygonal brick towers and is one of the best-preserved Roman gates in the world.
- In 773, Charlemagne camped beneath the gate, according to legend.
- A Roman theatre from the first century AD is next to the cathedral.
- The rest of it has been covered over by the royal palace buildings, so only a portion of it is visible.

Turin Culture and Traditions
- Turin's surroundings, including the commanding Alpine peaks that encircle the city's skyline, are striking to travellers.

- It exudes youth and vitality, with its numerous locales - from bars to wineries - increasing in all directions, beginning with its heart, Piazza Castello.

- Not to mention the residence of certain epochs of kings and nobles.
- We start with Piazza Castello, then move on to Palazzo Reale, Palazzo Carignano, and Palazzo Madama.
- The "crown of joys," or corona di delizie, is the luxurious residences that previously surrounded Turin and were used as hunting lodges or summer homes; the first is the Reggia di Venaria Reale or Royal Palace of Venaria.
- Under Guarini's quirky dome, the Holy Shroud, popularly known as the Shroud of Turin, is kept secure inside the Duomo.
- The dome was completely rebuilt after being destroyed in a fire in 1997.

Bagna càuda
#Food
- Bagna càuda (lit. hot bath) is a Piedmontese olive oil-based dip gently warmed and flavoured with garlic cloves and anchovies.
- It is typically served with a pinzimonio di verdure, a selection of raw, boiled, or roasted vegetables, most commonly fennel, artichokes, peppers, and carrots, but cauliflower, celery, onions, and cucumber are also suggested in some recipes.
- This fragrant Italian dip is traditionally prepared during the autumn and winter, especially around Christmas and New Year's.
- It can be made with milk, cream, butter, or walnut oil.
- Bagna càuda was traditionally served in a peila, a large pan placed in the centre of the table for communal sharing, but now it's dressed up and served in a fojt, a type of individual fondue pot made of terra cotta.
- Bagna càuda is thought to be the dish of friendship, best enjoyed on a cold evening by candlelight with friends and family.
Finanziera
#Food
- Finanziera is a traditional Piedmontese stew with sweet and sour flavours that dates back to the 18th century.
- It was once a dish for the working class created from the less honourable parts of animals, but today it is a genuine delight for all fans of offal and entrails. Financiera can be served on its own or as an accompaniment to risottos.
- It is made with leftovers such as peeled crests, rooster wattles, sweetbreads, calf's brain and veins. It is slowly simmered with garlic, rosemary, bay leaves, giardiniera (chopped vegetables marinated in vinegar), chicken broth, and sweet Marsala wine.
- It goes well with regional red wines like Nebbiolo d'Alba.
Pizza
#Food
- Depending on how you define it, the origins of this common household name vary.
- If you think of pizza as an oven-baked flatbread, you're correct.
- If pizza must have toppings, the ancient Romans and Greeks baked flatbreads and topped them with locally available spices and olive oil.
- However, the pizza we know today, made with tomato sauce, cheese, and a variety of toppings, originated in Italy.
- It gained popularity in Naples in the 18th century as a cheap, nourishing food consumed primarily by peasants.
- Early Neapolitan flatbreads topped with lard, salt, and garlic evolved into modern pizza.
- Nobody knows when or why tomatoes were first used in pizza preparation, but they were first recorded in Italy in 1544.
- While most Europeans dismissed them as poisonous, the southern Italians embraced them, naming them pomi d'oro (golden apples).
Gianduiotto
#Food
- Piedmont's signature pralines are made with gianduia, silky smooth cocoa, sugar, and hazelnut paste that owes its distinct flavour to roasted Tonda gentile Piedmontese hazelnuts.
- Despite some claims that the blend was invented in the early 1800s, gianduia wasn't perfected until half a century later by a Turinese chocolatier named Caffarel.
- According to legend, the first gianduia pralines were introduced in Turin during the carnival in 1865.
- They were initially known as givù, which translates to "tidbits" in the local dialect. They were allegedly given out in the streets by Caffarel, who was dressed as Giandujot, one of the most popular characters in Italian commedia dell'arte.
Grissini
#Food
- Grissini is a traditional Italian breadstick that originated in Torino, Piemonte, a northwestern Italian region.
- These snacks are made of crispy, thin, dry bread that can be flavoured with rosemary, sesame seeds, onions, or Parmesan cheese.
- Grissini can be traced back to the 17th century when they were invented to treat Duke Vittorio Amedeo II of Savoy's health problems.
- Due to the duke's digestive issues, the doctor directed Antonio Brunero, a Torino baker, to prepare a meal that the duke could easily digest.
- Brunero stretched the dough for ghersa, a traditional Torino bread, into long, thin strips.
- When the duke ate the baked product, it was declared a huge success and quickly became a popular snack throughout Italy.
- Today, grissini are served in various ways, and they are common in most Italian restaurants, where they are served to guests before the main course, either on their own or wrapped in prosciutto as an appetiser.
Tramezzino
#Food
- Tramezzino is a famous Italian triangular sandwich filled with mayonnaise, tuna, prosciutto, and cheese.
- The first tramezzino is thought to have been invented in 1925 at Caffè Mulassano in Turin.
- It quickly became prevalent in Venice, where a glass of Spritz accompanies it.
- Today, there are numerous tramezzini varieties in cafés throughout Italy, though pre-packaged varieties available in supermarkets are also quite common.

- This scene is said to have caused such a stir that the woman was forced to hide in a shop in Turin for several hours before the storm passed.

- Along with their new stadium, Juventus built a moderately sized shopping centre called Area12, including a few restaurants.
- Aside from that, there aren't many places near the stadium to get something to eat or drink, so it might be better to do so in Turin's more pleasant city centre.
- As a football fan, you should not miss the chance to visit Juventus Football Club's headquarters in Turin.
Mercato di Porta Palazzo
#Fun
- The Porta Palazzo market, located near the Porta Palatina, occupies nearly the entire plaza della Repubblica, covering over 50,000 square metres.
- It has the largest outdoor market in Europe.
- Even if discussing food is a regular topic of conversation, there is always something lacking.
- You don't study it from the inside out; you talk about the flavour but not knowledge; you extol its virtues but not your own.
- Like the artists, the Mercato Centrale Torino offers a diverse range of cuisine.
- At this restaurant, the gelato is soft, and the wine is bold.
- Almost 1,000 booths sell everything from fresh produce to deli meats, cheese, and clothing.
- Not only that, but the meal is quite affordable! Even if you don't need to buy anything, come along and take a tour to experience Turin's multicultural atmosphere.
- In addition to food, clothing, home goods, toys, and international delicacies can be purchased.
Mole Antonelliana
