7. Mole Antonelliana - a landmark building in Turin. It was designed at a synagogue, but was purchased by the city and is now home to their cinema museum.
8. The Po River - the longest river in Italy! Also a beautiful part of town. :)
9. Monte dei Cappucini - A hill offering with a church one of the best viewpoints of the Torino skyline!
10. Turin's famous Hot Chocolate (cioccolata calda) - you have to try this in here, according to everyone!

17. Borgo Medievale - A medieval village replica built in ~1884, reflecting 15th century Piedmont architecture!
18. Not really included in this video, but something we highly recommend is the Egypt Museum! It is the largest outside of Egypt and was fantastic if you're into that sort of stuff!

Definitely one of the most underrated cities in Italy. Great video!
Turn is definitely a gem!! So happy we visited! Thank you!! :)
One thing to definitely check out in Turin if you've the time is the Museo Egizio. It's the largest Egyptian archeological collection in the world besides the Egyptian Museum in Cairo.
Thank you for writing this in the comments!! We visited but I can't remember why we did not include it in the video! Maybe we did not film that day.
I agree, it is fantastic!!
bellissima città....
Agreed!!
2:07 its the best one that still exist :) My main reason for a trip to turin 😂👍👍
Nice video! Turin is my city, the gran Balon isn’t the biggest antique market in Europe. But if you walk just behind it in Piazza della Repubblica you’ll find the market of Porta Palazzo. Now, that is the biggest open market in Europe. They sell fresh groceries, household items and clothes. It is HUGE 😊
The Balon unfortunately it’s nothing compared to what it was 20-25 years ago.
Ahhh ok, I must have misunderstood when I was reading! Thanks so much for clarifying! :D I'm not sure how we missed the Porta Palazzo on the video, but I think we must have seen it because I remember a massive outdoor clothing/fresh produce market!
Mmarco Ferrante
Hi! Musei Reali means Royal Museums, and the Palace was the Royal Palace: Turin was the first capital of united Italy in the 1860s
Ah thank you!! We really appreciate you taking the time to send us this! Sometimes it can be difficult to find the information (in English) on a place sometimes! :D
In 2003 I was in Turin on long professional visit.
I had visited most of the places which you have covered in this beautiful video. I submit here that, few places, which you have explained in your this beautiful video, are able to understand the real facts about them!
You have refreshed my memories.
Thank you please!!
नमस्कार (Namaskar)
It's wonderful that you got to experience Turin too! Thank you very much for watching!! :D
Thank you for sharing really good video and for the tips am visiting Turin in October for a birthday celebration weekend.
Thank you so much, we're so happy you enjoyed it. I hope it helped with planning your trip!
Turin will be a blast for a birthday celebration! :D
A truly magnificent day today . To be able to watch your video is really wonderful and has made my day.Thank you dear friend!!!!!🤩❤👍
Happy you enjoyed it! Thanks so much!! :)
Very beautiful palance
Definitely!! Thanks for watching!!!
Hermoso!
Gracias!!! 🙏 😊
Sono di Torino, bellissimo video ,amo la mia città ❤️
grazie mille! siamo felici che ti sia piaciuto. grazie per aver condiviso con noi la tua bellissima città. siamo stati benissimo a Torino
What a fun blog guys! Can’t believe I never made it to Turin… looks like such a fun city to explore! Thanks for giving us a fantastic tour 🙌
It was a cool one for sure!! Thanks so much for stopping by guys! Just checked out one of your videos and looks like you're having a blast!! (minus the drone loss lol)
Happy travels, looking forward to seeing more!
@@IfWeGoTo omg the drone loss will haunt us forever 😩😩😩 haha thanks for stopping by!
We bought one back in 2016 I believe? Idr, but an early iteration of a drone… lost connection & flew it into a cliff wall and we were so afraid of crashing it that we never flew it again. I feel ya. 😂
Do you guys have an IG?? We don’t post much, but would love to keep in touch!
Hot chocolate ,freshly made pizza and loved the kiss in the end. Alan being dramatic lol 😂
When is he not a drama Queen 😂
Great Video...Grandmother was born there.....
Thank you so much!! That’s super cool that your grandmother is from Turin. It’s an awesome city! Have you had the chance to visit?

Nice vlog. I'm from Bergamo and I hope to visit Torino soon. Thank you for sharing your experiences.
Thank you!! How is Bergamo? I’d love to stop there one day. It looks beautiful!
Hope you have a great visit to Torino. It is a fun city! Thanks for watching! :)
@@IfWeGoTo Bergamo is hands down the cutest city of the Lombardy. With no rivers or lakes, his secret is all in the "high city", a medieval jewel made of stones and surrounded by mountains and greenery. The beauty is in the views, so I warmly suggest you to visit Bergamo in a sunny day, with a clear sky and cloudless.
@@Pingopalla Well now I'm sold on it, I definitely want to make a stop next time I'm nearby!!
Do you think summertime would be best for a clear day?
Thanks for the tip!
@@IfWeGoTo You are welcome 🙂 In summer Bergamo is a furnace. It is really hot, especially during the day. I do not recommend it. Much better on a nice day in April or May. Bergamo is three cities in one. Two funiculars. A castle in a panoramic position and wonderful churches. I hope to see you around here soon.
Note taken! Do you have Instagram? Would love to keep in touch! Depending on the global situation we may come back to Italy in February and/or summer! :)
The ruins are all special, we don't have history near that old in the US. It would feel so nostalgic. The hot chocolate looked like syrup. The people there are night owls. The market was outstanding. Nice share guys. I enjoyed your video. New friend to your channel. I spent 3 weeks in Australia in 2001, so looking forward to checking out your home videos👍Like 24 and 991, rang the bell🙏
Exactly!! I think the US has a bit of interesting history itself, but having the root of current civilization that runs back thousands of years... with plenty of ruins to remind you of the history is fascinating!! Are you from the USA? Where did you get to visit in Australia? (We're actually American, but got stuck in AUS for a bit during the lockdowns last year!)
Thanks so much for watching! We're so happy you enjoyed it! Do you also make videos??
@@IfWeGoTo We're located in Southern California. Yes we do videos as well.
Ahh awesome! We will check them out!! Alan is from SD :D
One of my favourite memories is arriving in our hotel in the Appenines after walking all day in pouring rain to be offered a cup of cioccolata calda like that. Heaven !
Right!!! It so hits the spot on a cold day!! When did you visit??
😍😍vivi en Milan con mia familiares durante 2 años, cuando tenía yo 11 años de edad, y conocí Turin cundo era un pueblo, en los años 1972...ahora que veo su video me trae recuerdos de mi infancia y melancolia. y vaya que el pueblo se convirtio en Ciudad😱👌😊
Wow, es difícil imaginar a Turín como un pueblo pequeño, ¡la ciudad era enorme! Sin embargo, estoy seguro de que Milán no ha cambiado mucho, ¿verdad? Ha sido una gran ciudad durante mucho tiempo?
LOOOL....hilarious.....turin had much greater population on 1972 than now......the town lost around 400000 people since then (0 growth, ppl going to live in the suburbs, etc...)
Turin has never been a pueblo 😅😅😅 it always was a very big industrial city, you must be confused with some other location
Looks like a nice place
Turin was a fun city, never thought we'd get to visit! :)
Cool vlog I’m thinking of visiting Torino soon
Hope you have a great time!! Where will you visit from?
@@IfWeGoTo london
Oh awesome!! London is a great city, I think Torino would make for an awesome trip though. :)
So beautiful merry Christmas and stay safe new year
Happy holidays!! Thanks for watching!!
@@IfWeGoTo your welcome
That’s great one guys ! Hot chocolate look beautiful
Happy weekend
Thank you!! The hot chocolate was probably the best part 😋
Have a good weekend!! You guys got any new videos up recently?!
Turin is also called the little Paris. It is an Italian city but its history is more linked to France. Even the dialect spoken in Turin has more French words than Italian.
Oh didn’t know that!! That explains it! Thank you! :) it’s a beautiful city!
En realidad Francia es de origen Romano por lo cual deberías decir turin es más romana
@@lucianon.a119 we don't feel very Romans in Turin ....
@@lucianon.a119 Roma provincia Torino capitale.
Turin is bigger than Paris!
hello! if you dont mind my asking how did you go about getting from the airport to central turin? I am a bit confused thanks!
Hi!! We actually took the train in from another city so did not go to the airport in Turin! It seems like you have to take a taxi, bus, or car though!
Hi cute guys, thanks for sharing an amazing content, stay blessed always 🤩🤗👍🇵🇰💟
Thank you so much! We’re so happy you enjoyed it!
@@IfWeGoTo you welcome my friend 🤩🤗👍
Torino la vera capitale culturale d'Italia qui è nata l'Italia bella e aristocratica
The borgo medievale is an imitation of a medieval village, built in 1884
It was very interesting to see! Do you know of anywhere that has the original architecture that is similar?
@@IfWeGoTo like that architecture maybe Rivoli, close to the castle or the center of Bologna. You will never find a street like the one reconstructed in the torino village, just because the medieval parts of the towns are melted with new architectures or simply rebuilt after.
@@IfWeGoTo It's a mash up of different real medieval castles in Piedmont and Val d'Aosta (a neighboring region). For instance, Forte di Bard or La Manta.
I don't want to compare Torino with other Italian cities, but for me, it remains the most beautiful city in Italy. This city is simply wonderful, it also boasts many records, Torino is the city that has the largest porticoed square in Europe, the first capital of Italy, it has the largest Roman gate in the world "porta palatina", it hosts, outside Egypt, the most important Egyptian Museum in the world. In 1896 in Torino there was the first cinema screening in Italy. The "Porta Palazzo" market is the largest open-air market of Europe, the Mole Antonelliana was until 1889 the tallest building in all of Europe, it is the Italian city where the film industry was first established, it boasts of being one of the greenest European cities if not the largest among them, and many other things. Everything about Torino will win you over, its architecture, its museums, its parks, its squares, its fountains, its food, sweet and savory. Visit Torino, you will be fascinated by it, it is a real jewel, which you will never forget.
Oh gosh, yeah!! It's hard to compare anything in Italy, every city is so wonderful and has so much to offer. I agree though, Torino is amazing! I know it doesn't pop up as a very popular tourist destination (at least among Americans) but it was easily one of our favorite cities in the country - so much to offer in one place and the FOOD! Just incredible.
Thank you so much for sharing a bit about Torino, hopefully it will encourage others to experience this amazing city too! :)
💯🇮🇹
Thank you ❤️
You two are a nice couple
And my beloved city is also beautiful too
Good job
Ciao
Thank you so much! We’re so happy we got to visit your city, we really loved it! You live in a wonderful place! :)
Hello, when did you go to Turin? I plan to go there in November
Hello!! We visited in November also. It was a great time to go. Hope you enjoy your trip!!
@@IfWeGoTo thanks for the reply! I’m from Asia and this is my first trip to Europe post pandemic. Hope it will not be rainy when we visit.
No way!! We love Asia and were there just before the pandemic. What country are you from?
What are your plans for europe?? I don’t think November was too rainy most places. But packing a mini umbrella is a good move!
@@IfWeGoTo I work I’m Singapore but I’m originally from Philippines :)
My bf and I plan to go to Lecce, Turin, Bologna in Italy and maybe south of Fance in Avignon. It’s only a month vacation though
Oh very cool!! We love the Philippines but have yet to visit Singapore!!
Sounds like you will have an awesome trip. A months time is pretty good, I think enough to see all of those places!!
You’re bringing us the leftover pizza right?! Haha
Omg I wish I could!! You guys would’ve loved it!
Porta Palatina Is the original parte of the city because It was created by Romans as a military camp.
Oh cool!! I love all of the Roman ruins to be found in Italy. Such incredible history!
@@IfWeGoTo No trace of a Roman military camp in Turin has ever been found. Roman colonial cities were square when built entirely from scratch. Turin was a military colony, not a camp
What time of the year is this?
This was in mid-November! :)
@@IfWeGoTo nice. That's when I'll be there. It didn't look too cold?
It was a little chilly but really not bad! A light jacket will probably work. Hope you have a ton of fun! It’s an awesome city!!
C’mon Alan… you need to know the name of every building in Europe!
Hahaha right? What's his deal!! Hahaha
Turin Is french style because its history has a something in common with France
That makes sense, especially with how nearby it is. We’ve noticed that cultures mix in border (or near border) cities!
Thanks so much for the extra info on Turin! We love to learn more about the places we visit, even if it’s later on!
Are you from Turin?
😂😂😂😂😂 Savoy is ever french, especially Turin?! 😂😂 Study history
Great video guys,
Do you happen to remember the name of the place where you got the hot chocolate ?
Thanks
Thank you!! Unfortunately we don't remember the exact name, but there is thick hot chocolate at so many of the cafes and restaurants! You will surely have no trouble finding a great one! :D
I think it's this: "Prodotti Gianduja", address: Via Palazzo di Città, 24
That’s what hot chocolate is supposed to look like, that’s how they do it most places in Europe, in the US you drink warm chocolate milk lol
Hahaha that is true, though I will say the Italian version wasn't really drinkable! lol
If you ever go back try Bagna Cauda, traditional Piedmontese meal. I live in Detroit now but I was born and raised in Torino 😊
Juve serie B !
