Here’s a 48-hour travel plan that lets you enjoy the main museums in the city center (Royal Museums, Egyptian Museum, Palazzo Madama, and the Mole Antonelliana), take relaxing walks surrounded by nature and history (Royal Gardens), and even experience a breathtaking view from the highest point in the city (Basilica of Superga). Of course, it’s all paired with food recommendations to help you savor the delicious flavors of traditional Piedmontese cuisine!!
