Turin recommendations?

Enjoyed my stay at the Hotel Concord, Via Lagrange 47. A short walk from the Porta Nuova RR station. This is a very nice, modern business type hotel. Large comfortable rooms and great complimentary breakfast.

For great food, enjoy lunch or dinner at Pastificio de Filippis, less than a five minute walk at Via Lagrange 39.

Check out the National Automobile Museum, Egyptian Museum and Royal Palace.

It's been a while, since the 2006 Olympics, but I liked the Museo Nationale del Cinema inside the Mole Antonelliana.

When we were in Turin (Torino), we visited the Egyptian Museum (quite interesting), the cathedral, the museum for the Holy Shroud, and the Royal House of Savoy. Everything was great.

We visited in September of 2023. Stayed at Hotel Opera 35. Very nice. Had a great dinner at Mille Restaurant on Via deli Mille. Short walk from hotel. Excellent staff and nice wine was suggested by them.

Hired a guide named Matteo Gazzarata +39 335 565 4663. Suggested by Lisa Anderson, a Rick Steves guide.

In addition to the other sights mentioned, we enjoyed the Palazzo Madama, which was the home of the mother of the King of Savoy, and built on Roman ruins, which are visible through the clear floors.

I suggest before you go, to watch the original 1969 comedy caper movie The Italian Job, with Michael Caine, which takes place in Turin. The escapades of the group of crooks throughout the city, including the classic drive of mini coopers down the steps of the Cathedral, is a classic (listen as they shout “Congratulations” to the wedding couple. It’s a hoot & a half!

The “Versailles of Italy” is near Torino, a short city bus ride away, at La Venaria Reale https://lavenaria.it/en. Superb!
