5 Must-Do Things in Turin, Italy 🇮🇹

An Italian once told me: “In Milan, if someone orders a fine wine at a restaurant, they’ll make sure everyone knows. But in Turin, it’ll be quietly poured into a decanter before it’s brought out.” 🍷 As one of Italy’s major industrial cities, Turin is home to many wealthy people—but they all prefer to keep a low profile. This city might not charm you at first sight, but it’ll likely grow on you over time.
