During these three days in Turin, you’ll get to admire the main museums in the historic center (Egyptian Museum, Mole Antonelliana, Royal Museums, RAI Museum, Palazzo Madama, and the Natural Science Museum), stroll through the main shopping streets (Via Roma, Via Po, and Via Lagrange), enjoy traditional Piedmontese cuisine, and visit attractions outside the city center (Basilica of Superga and the Reggia of Venaria).
Let’s get started!
