Visit Turin:
Top 20 things to do
Turin has been our new city & second home for 5 years now.
Elegant & sophisticated, we have learnt to know and appreciate it during our walks in its classy squares, green parks, looking at the lovely courtyards of old buildings in the city center and the view from the top with the Alps on the background.
This is our own list of all the things you should do at least once in this beautiful city, all the best this ‘little Paris’ can offer.
1. Have lunch in a 'piola', usually a small and casual eatery where you can taste Piedmont traditional cuisine with low budget
2. Make yourselves comfortable in the aptly named “lounge” of Turin, San Carlo square (our favourite one)
