Turin
Turin, the capital of the Piedmont region in northern Italy, serves as a vital business and cultural hub. Historically significant as the first capital of the Kingdom of Italy (1861–1865) and the seat of the House of Savoy, the city boasts a rich architectural heritage featuring Baroque, Rococo, and Neoclassical styles.

With a metropolitan population of over 2.2 million, it ranks third in Italy for economic strength and is recognized globally as a Gamma-level city.

Getting there & around
From the airport
Turin-Caselle Airport (TRN) is the main airport. The train is usually the simplest public option: the airport station is opposite Arrivals and reaches Torino Porta Susa in about 30 minutes. Airport buses are also useful: Arriva runs to Porta Nuova/Porta Susa in about 45-50 minutes, while Flibco direct services can take about 30 minutes depending on stop and traffic. Taxis leave from Arrivals and take about 30 minutes to central Turin, with an official rough fare around €40. There is no metro directly from the airport; for Porta Nuova by rail, change at Porta Susa or use the bus.

Around the city
Turin is walkable in the historic centre, with GTT metro, trams and buses covering the rest. The metro currently has Line 1 between Fermi and Bengasi, stopping at Porta Susa and Porta Nuova; trams and buses fill in most visitor gaps. For tourists, buy a GTT City Daily pass if you expect several rides in one day; for occasional trips use the City 100-minute ticket, and for longer stays consider MultiDaily or weekly options. Validate tickets or tap/contactless where available, and check evening metro hours because late service varies by day.

Dining
Vintage 1997
A classic of the Turin dining scene for nearly thirty years, this venue continues to stand out for its rare consistency, unmoved by passing trends. The interiors, intentionally somewhat old-fashioned – though recently refreshed and perfectly in keeping with the Vintage name – frame the welcome of owner Umberto Chiodi Latini, a maître d’ of great personality and old-school charm. In the kitchen, the offerings have expanded over the years without ever compromising on ingredient quality: notable, for instance, is the attention devoted to vegetables, honored with an entire tasting menu. Alongside
WebsiteCarignano
Davide Scabin, one of Piedmont’s most famous chefs who was also awarded two Michelin stars at his Rivoli restaurant, is now demonstrating his culinary skills in one of Turin’s most prestigious hotels – the historic Grand Hotel Sitea, which celebrates its centenary in 2025. Here, the chef serves just one long tasting menu on which all preconceived ideas are overturned, starting with the order of courses. Based on the chef’s “up & down” concept, you start with the more intense flavours (such as sweetbreads and foie gras) and the dishes become lighter as the meal progresses, including more vegeta
WebsiteDel Cambio
This historic restaurant, a jewel of Piedmont and with few equals in Europe, dates back to the 18th century. The Risorgimento room retains its 19th-century charm, enhanced by meticulous restoration. The creaking of the original parquet accompanies footsteps in a place that is also part of Italy's history: Cavour once sat here, with a view of Palazzo Carignano, the first Parliament of the unified nation. Behind it, the Pistoletto room offers a simpler, more informal atmosphere. The cuisine celebrates tradition with classic Piedmontese dishes – from vitello tonnato to agnolotti del Plin – but it
WebsitePiano35
On the ground floor of what has become one of the icons of Turin's urban landscape - the Intesa San Paolo skyscraper designed by Renzo Piano - you will find the dedicated entrance to the restaurant. Here you will be accompanied to the lift with which, at great speed, you will ascend to a height of 150 metres: before sitting down in the restaurant proper, do not miss a “diversion” to the panoramic terrace from which you will enjoy a splendid view of the city centre. Then, in the large and bright dining room surrounded by the greenhouse, the gastronomic choice will be presented to you in the for
WebsiteUnforgettable
Stefano Mancinelli and Sabrina Stravato are the two chefs who have taken over the reins in the kitchen at this original restaurant just a stone’s throw from the Santuario della Consolata. Although the format here remains the same (a blind tasting menu), the chefs are also making their mark on the creative cuisine, which combines typical dessert techniques and recipes with savoury elements (and vice versa) throughout the meal, as seen in the savoury potato crème caramel with onion. As previously, guests are greeted by the chefs in a small lounge and then served at a counter where they sit side
WebsiteCondividere
Within the Nuvola complex of Lavazza, alongside recommending a visit to the Coffee Museum, Condividere springs from an idea and the consultancy of famed Spanish chef Ferran Adrià. It's the precise and extraordinary style of Chef Federico Zanasi that pampers its patrons. The dining room itself is unique, colourful, and vibrant, where music seems as prominent as the decor. Two tasting menus are offered: Festival and the longer Gran Festival, featuring a series of dishes and sometimes tastings that highlight the quality of raw materials, crafting recipes from few ingredients, occasionally technic
WebsiteCannavacciuolo Bistrot
Antonino Cannavacciuolo – the three-Michelin-starred chef of Villa Crespi – has chosen to set up his Turin establishment in the heart of Borgo Po, one of the city’s most intimate and elegant residential neighbourhoods, just a stone’s throw from the Gran Madre. The dining areas form a series of contemporary, intimate and meticulously designed rooms, the last of which looks directly onto the kitchen for those who'd like to watch the culinary magic unfold. This is where Gabriele Bertolo creates modern cuisine inspired by regional traditions — starting off with those from Campania — reinterpreted
WebsiteConsorzio
Despite its simple, no-frills atmosphere, Consorzio serves some of the most interesting and acclaimed Piedmontese cuisine in the city. Specialities include ravioli with either Tumin del Mel cheese or “finanziera”, and traditional meat-filled agnolotti pasta. Meat also makes a strong appearance on the list of main courses, including in less “noble” but equally memorable dishes featuring offal and tripe.
