🇮🇹 Discovering Turin’s Renaissance B-Side | A Secret Guide

🌆 My 336 Hours in Turin I stayed here for half a month for a summer school, and I realized—Turin isn’t for checklist travelers. It’s for those who: ☕ Wait for the perfect coffee foam to rise, 👗 Listen to a tailor’s three-generation story for a dress, 🌅 Miss the last tram for a sunset. 🍴 Foodie Hit List 1️⃣ Mollica Sandwiches 🍅 Must-try: Tomato bread + caramelized onions (DIY your dream combo!). 2️⃣ Takeaway Street Food 🌯 Giant jianbing (savory crepe) + crispy fried chicken – way cheaper than Amsterdam! 3️⃣ Gelateria Biraghi 🍦 Creamiest gelato ever! €2 for a huge scoop – melts fast in summer! 4️⃣ La Romana Gelato 🌸 Trendy "flower gelato" & bread-cone options – right next to Biraghi. 5️⃣ A Smorfia 🍅 Hidden local gem – tomato-heavy Italian dishes. 🛍️ Wallet-Draining Guide 1️⃣ Atelier Eme 👗 €200 for a tailored dress (1v1 service – book ahead!). 2️⃣ Agati Silvia Handmade Jewelry 💍 Grandma-crafted treasures – affordable & unique. 3️⃣ La Perla Chocolate 🍫 Piedmont’s finest – perfect souvenirs! ❗Transport Survival Tips 🚖 Taxis are rare, buses are unreliable – but don’t panic! ✅ Solutions: 1️⃣ Walk everywhere – most sights are within 2km. 2️⃣ Rent bikes/E-bikes (some require ID/residence card). 3️⃣ Add 15 mins buffer time – trams love being late! 💸 Late arrival? Book a car in advance (I paid €50 via Xiaohongshu). Turin whispers where Florence shouts. It’s youngsters laughing in piazzas, palace arcade secrets, and Alpine-kissed sunsets. ✨ Bonus must-sees: Egyptian Museum, Royal Palace, Cinema Museum! #Italy #Turin #HiddenGems #SlowTravel #FoodieFinds #TravelSmart 🚲🌄
