Visit one of the historic coffee houses in Turino.
Cafe Turino: a beautiful and grand coffee house with butlers. Stop by for an aperol or coffee.
Mole Antonelliana: beautiful view of Turino, it also houses the museum of cinema.
View from the top of the Mole.
One of the many beautiful gallerias
Palazzo Reale: amazing grand palace, highly recommend. 6 euros entry for 18-25yr olds or 12 euros - great value lots of galleries and endless rooms in the palace.
Another gorgeous room in the palace.
Elle and Jords - one of the many homemade lunches after buying fresh produce from the amazing Porta Pallazo markets (open Monday - Saturday). Try the fresh pasta and tomato sugo from the pasta stall in the indoor markets.
Across the Po river is Monte cappuccino: a cathedral, museum and most importantly a beautiful look out overTurino.
I love strolling through Turin between 6-9pm, many people on the streets, light hits the historic buildings.
