Italy is always a great country to visit, and one of my favorite places to visit in Italy is Turin. There are just so many excitements available in Turin, perfect for those of you who love exploring a holiday spot thoroughly like me. Want to know what this gorgeous city has to offer? Let’s take a closer look, shall we?

Piazza Castello and Palazzo Reale are actually the center of Turin. It is actually an area with benches and small fountains, ringed by beautiful, grand buildings. Be sure to check out these spots during sunset – while enjoying a cup of Italian coffee perhaps – since the scenery will blow your mind away.

If you love movies, be sure to visit Mole Antonelliana. This building, first built in 1798, is the home of Italy’s finest cinematography museum. You can also take the panoramic elevator all the way to the building’s roof and enjoy the beautiful view of Turin from the top.

Museo Egizio is noted to be one of the most important Egyptian museums in the world. If you love exploring artifacts and understanding historic legacies, this particular Turin attraction is perfect for you. You can also enjoy a large collection of historic painting at the Galleria Sagauda.

If you think all those attractions are everything Turin has to offer, think again! There are still so many places to visit in the area. Il Quadrilatero’s famous arrays of markets are perfect if you want to buy fresh vegetables as well as souvenirs. Walk along the Via Po and visit the Shroud of Turin as well.
