A Day in Turin Italy (The First Things I Do in a New Country)

Discovering a New City in a Day | Exploring Italy

I’m in Turin, Italy. In this video I explore how to get oriented in a new city quickly. This is how we spent a day in the city getting to know it, from a “free walking tour” to a museum visit and a spontaneous event.

In this video: *Walking Tour Tips* - See why I recommend starting with a local-guided, pay-what-you-wish walking tour to get your bearings and pick up hidden gems from experts. Historical Insights— We explored the Royal Palace of Turin to gain a better understanding of the city’s royal heritage and the history of the Savoy family.

*Edit: The Holy Shroud is no longer housed in the Chapel of the Holy Shroud but in the Cathedral of St. John the Baptist, which is connected to it and the Royal Palace. Here is an article on the Chapel: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chapel_...

Explore on Your Own – Local events and festivals like the Terra Madre food festival are great places to start for an authentic experience. Whether you're planning extended travel or a quick visit, these tips will help you connect with a new city.
