Where to Stay in Turin 2026 | Best Areas + Hotel Map
Turin is Italy's most underrated city - baroque grandeur, world-class museums (including the finest Egyptian collection outside Cairo), legendary café culture, and the birthplace of Italian cinema. The compact center offers elegant arcaded walking, while the Quadrilatero delivers aperitivo culture. As former Savoy capital and Fiat city, Turin blends royal heritage with industrial cool.
Editor's Pick for First-Timers
Centro Storico (near Piazza Castello)
Turin's elegant center puts you walking distance from the Egyptian Museum, Royal Palace, Mole Antonelliana, and legendary cafés like Caffè Mulassano. The beautiful arcaded streets provide covered walks even in rain, and the Quadrilatero's aperitivo bars are steps away.
